Cover photo: The Zambian Homeless People's Federation savings scheme and the local authority lay out plots for housing in Choma, Zambia. The local authority provided the land and the savings scheme paid for its development. The plots measured 600 square metres each but the federation negotiated for plots half this size so that twice as many households could be accommodated. © Diana Mitlin (2009)
