Goal 11 aims to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.”<\/strong><\/p>

For Ghana, this means managing rapid urbanization by ensuring access to adequate housing, affordable basic services, and green public spaces. Key priorities include upgrading informal settlements (slums), improving waste management and air quality, strengthening public transport, and making cities resilient to climate change and disasters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This is driven by\u00a0community-based slum upgrading initiatives and resident associations<\/strong>. These grassroots groups partner with local authorities to improve sanitation, secure land tenure, create green spaces, and advocate for better infrastructure, transforming urban neighborhoods from the inside out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
