In addition to the diversion of funds for non-programme purposes, the Special Rapporteur has identified four main elements that may help to explain such failure: inaccessibility of government credit facilities, leasing and pro-housing savings programmes to the poorest segments of the population; distortions in government incentives to large-scale builders for production of lowprice housing units; a considerable urban bias in the planning of housing programmes that has led to unsuitable or insufficient rural housing policies; and, the lack of coordination between different government branches, agencies and organizations responsible for implementation.
