Slum/Shack Dwellers International (SDI), is a global social movement of the urban poor started in 1996. It forms a network of community-based organisations in 33 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The SDI secretariat is located in Cape Town, South Africa. The current chairperson is Sheela Patel. Most of SDI's members are poor urban households squatting on the edge of cities in order to access employment possibilities and SDI aims to ensure that the needs of its members are integrated and not marginalised by city administrations.
SDI distributes community-generated data on cities and slums through the 'Know Your City' campaign, which is run in association with United Cities and Local Governments and Cities Alliance.
