Habitat International Coalition (HIC), the global movement specialized in human settlements since 1976, comprises some 450 members in 80 countries, in the North and South. They include NGOs, community-based organizations, social movements, academic and research centers, professional associations and like-minded individuals dedicated to the struggle against deprivation of well-being and for realizing the human right to adequate housing for all. The MENA Program promotes the development of economic, social and cultural rights culture in the region (covering the Arab countries, Cyprus, Israel, Kurdistan and Turkey). This HIC-MENA website provides a self-service database for members and the public, including unique Arabic-language resources on housing and land, as well as other economic/social/ cultural rights not found elsewhere.
