From confrontation to collaboration: a decade in the work of the squatters' movement in Nepal

Abstract

Squatters' organizations are a notable driving force of civil society movements in Nepal. Their alliance, working on urban squatter issues, has been trying to change their strategy from one of confrontation with government authorities to one of collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including non-squatter neighbours. This paper reviews a decade of squatters' movement in Nepal. It highlights the changes in relationship between squatters and non-squatters and recent moves for public—private—community partnership. The paper argues the importance of getting more attention from non-squatter citizens for policy changes to ensure housing rights.
