ABSTRACT=	Slums and informal settlements in African cities are notably connected to green spaces and natural ecosystems serving as green infrastructure.  
	Green Infrastructure holds potential for improvement in quality of life and environmental quality by harnessing benefits for livelihoods, food security, environmental regulation, socio-cultural appropriation etc, and addressing constraints to greening.
	Policy initiatives and relevant greening programmes, especially those utilizing participatory, low-cost, socio-economically empowering approaches are recommended.
