Here you should mention something about the peer review: for example: Recently, a Peer review was conducted to assess UN-Habitat�s Approach to Monitoring Target 11, namely to provide a scientific evaluation of the slum definition, method and estimates. The Peer Review welcomed the efforts of UN-HABITAT to develop a Strategy to Monitor Secure Tenure, and recommended to explore further the possibilities of enhancing an expert system approach.

16. Strategy to Monitor Secure Tenure Example of LIFI Methodology: Government Intervention: 1. Evictions (25 points)

17. Strategy to Monitor Secure Tenure Example of LIFI Methodology Low score - Governments engage in evictions w/out residents  involvment or institutions.- Clear rules are not applied - Evictions are carried out by surprise - Appeals are not possible - The media is not informed or there is no free media at all, Medium score - There are a limited number of people or institutions involved. - Communities are informed about the impending evictions- They have the right to express their opinions, but no genuine role in decision making. High score - Eviction decisions made after ample consultations with all relevant parties - No restrictions for media�s free and uncensored reporting.  - Evictions are implemented within a reasonable timeframe - Appeal procedures are possible
