The Community Land Information Program (CLIP) is a tool used by informal settlement residents to better understand their communities, discuss their development priorities and negotiate with authorities for better living conditions in settlements. To understand the socio-economic data of their informal settlement and to be able to communicate soundly their needs for housing, empowers the community in their community-led housing approach. Through CLIP 219,936 households were enumerated in informal settlements across all urban areas in Namibia, with varying degrees of services, tenure and shelter. This means more than 40% of Namibian's overall population and around 80% of its urban population is currently living in shacks. There are five CLIP phases in the process of community-led Informal Settlement Upgrading: 1) Profiling 2) Enumeration 3) Settlement Analysis 4) Settlement Planning 5) Re-blocking
