Network

INHAF or Habitat Forum (INDIA) is a non-profit society. It serves as a national level ‘synergy’ platform for individuals, groups, agencies and NGOs to exchange information, share learning, debate, plan joint action, advocate causes, represent concerns, undertake capacity building, and network on issues shaping urban and rural development.

It deliberates on policies, programmes, projects, investments, and institutional arrangements that shape urban and rural settlements, within the framework of inclusivity, equity, disaster resilience, and sustainability.

INHAF’s experience lies in advocacy and capacity building activities in the areas of housing, policy, and inclusive development focusing on issues of quality of life, livelihoods and poverty.

As an instrument of collaborative thought and action, INHAF’s strength is in its ability to network and bring concerned parties on to a shared platform to deliberate on ideas and issues and act in search for options and solutions.
