“This pilot study is the outcome of the joint effort of Islamic Relief, OFFER and Wada NaTodo Abhiyan. This study aims to focus attention on the communities living on the fringes of developed and urbanised areas who continue to be excluded out of the developmental debate. This is part of Islamic Relief ’s urban poverty programming in India and the study provides a snapshot to assess defined sub-groups within the larger urban poor communities vis-a-vis the Sustainable Development Goals. The study looked at five urban poor groups namely: Domestic Workers, Sewage Workers, Construction Workers, Slum Dwellers and Homeless. The study will serve as an advocacy research to support urban poor communities and civil society organisations working with these groups. It provides insights into disparities faced by these communities and the subsequent challenges India will face in attainments of SDGs for all, if these disparities are not addressed. We hope to uphold the principle of ‘Leave No One Behind’ by documenting the developmental needs of the urban poor and paving the way for more comprehensive and inclusive urban policies. We acknowledge the efforts of People’s Right and Social Research, YUVA, and Labour Education and Development Society and their field supporters in Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur who contributed greatly to the making of this report.”
