Cancelling debt in Nairobi

On October 27, 2006, the agreement cancelling the bilateral debt owed to Italy by Kenya was signed, thus freeing resources that are meant to go to programs concerned with reducing urban and rural poverty. Rather than pay the debt, Kenya will invest 44 million Euros into its public policy, starting now and until 2016. The representatives of the W Nairobi W! Campaign, which is tied to the Zero Evictions Campaign run by the International Alliance of Inhabitants, are greatly satisfied that they have achieved a solid goal that offers a real alternative to the inhabitants of Nairobi’s slums who are being threatened with eviction.
