Site and services schemes
Introduction
The broad objective of sites and services programs was the delivery of incremental housing for the
poor through the provision of small serviced plots, sometimes with a core unit
Sites and services emerged in the context of:
Rapid urbanization in the 1960s and 1970s and the failure of prevailing public housing approaches
to meet housing demand
Promotion of self-help in development and housing provision
Pressure on development agencies to extend their range of development loans to include
urban infrastructure and housing
Between the early 1970s and 1998 the World Bank alone, as the largest financier, invested in 100 sites
and service projects across 53 countries with a total investment of $14.6 billion. Countries also
implemented these projects with no external assistance
