Work
HABICO works internationally in the field of Human Settlement planning and development.By its very nature this includes a complex mix of social, cultural, economic, environmental, land use, infrastructure and institutional components. HABICO has completed both short and long-term assignments incorporating these components into low-income community development, long-range planning and development strategies for communities, cities and regions, squatter upgrading, resettlement, infrastructure planning, low-income housing policy, design and institution strengthening, and private sector initiatives of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
HABICO provides Project Management and Team Leadership to many projects, but is equally comfortable providing specialized technical inputs to larger collaborative efforts.
Approach
HABICO believes that a comprehensive and integrated approach to addressing development needs best serves the interests of all stakeholders. By working in a highly participatory, field-based manner we arrive at project solutions that are practical, locally appropriate, implementable and affordable. HABICO always seeks local partners for local collaboration, gain local knowledge, transfer technology and support local ownership.
