It includes braided, and meandering river channels, islands, dhands or oxbow lakes and seasonally flooded depressions in the floodplain. This region covers three wetlands protected areas under the provincial wildlife legislations: i) Chashma Barrage Wildlife Sanctuary, ii) Taunsa Barrage Wildlife Sanctuary, and iii) Indus Dolphin Reserve. The first two are located in Punjab Province and the third in Sindh Province. Because of their socio-ecological significance, these protected areas are also designated as Ramsar Sites.Part of the CIWC is included in the Indus Eco-region, a Global 200 Eco-region that serves as an important migratory route, the famous Indus Flyway, and also the habitat for several threatened bird and animal species. Majority of the people living in CIWC are below the poverty line without any basic facilities. Further, low development in the area perpetuate a variety of socio-economic problems such as poverty, limited income earning opportunities, income disparity, and dependence on agriculture, fishing and other natural resource based income sources. Fishermen residing along the banks of the River Indus have a key stake in the sustainable use of these wetlands and associated biodiversity resources. With the financial support of Department for International Development (DFID) under its Global Poverty Action Fund (GPAF), WWF - Pakistanis implementing a project titled “Improving Livelihoods of Fisher Communities in Central Indus, Pakistan”. The project spans over a period of three years for the entire 780 km long stretch of Central Indus focussing at improving the livelihoods of at least 1,700 households of fishermen with an average size of 10 person per household. The project plans to support poverty-environment nexus.

Our approach includes three key objectives : ●Developing a digital traceability toolkit to track leather hides from suppliers to factories, enhancing transparency and compliance with international standards;●Recycling leather processing waste into water-resistant surfactants to promote circularity; and ●Reducing wastewater pollution by using lipase enzymes, phasing out the need for harmful solvents and promoting cleaner production to protect workers' health. UK - Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office World Wide Fund for Nature - Pakistan World Wide Fund for Nature - Pakistan SMEP is funding several pilot and research projects in the target region, which are designed to generate evidence for feasible pollution mitigation solutions. The manufacturing sectors in many of the SMEP-focus countries tend to be dominated by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and some include supply chains within the informal sectors. The obstacles to the uptake of cleaner production solutions in such supply chains include weak investment capability, lack of access to technologies and resources, variable levels of regulatory enforcement coupled with limited application of financial and policy incentives. 221115 289973 92151 Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds 68273 Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds 52636 Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- SMEP Project Funds 168446 Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- Expenditures Report Sustainable Manufacturing and Environment Pollution Programme- Expenditures Report 41120-100534 UN-Habitat In Yemen, several researches suggest that housing, land and property (HLP) rights abuses, violations and discriminations are widespread, however, they are not sufficiently documented in most of the communities. Particularly, those for women and girls are critical as they are discriminated or have limited access to land ownership even though major traditional Islamic legal system support women’s rights to land, customary laws do not recognize women’s entitlement to enjoy, inherit, women often receive various forms of barriers, discriminations and violence when they try to claim their HLP rights. This is exacerbated by the ongoing conflict; evidence suggests that in wars, HLP rights violations are used as an instrument of war for ethnic cleansing to affect the demography of conflict-affected areas. Further, there is no land policy in effect in Yemen to manage land registration, land tenure and access to land properly. Therefore, HLP rights abuses, violations, and discriminations in Yemen have weakened the foundation of peace, stabilization, social reconciliation and peaceful coexistence. There is an urgent need to protect land rights and access to lands of vulnerable community members, including women-headed households and IDPs. The overall goal of the program is to accelerate urban recovery and peacebuilding in Yemen by documenting HLP rights violations and challenges and improving access to housing, land and property (HLP) rights of vulnerable community members in Aden, Al-Hudaydah and Al-Hawta cities in Yemen. The proposed program aims to support beneficiaries by documenting and addressing Housing, Land and Property (HLP) Rights discrimination and violations as well as promoting land tenure security for women. To achieve this goal, UN-Habitat will first monitor and address their HLP rights and claims. The project is envisaged also to enhance capacity of the national and local government as well as vulnerable community members, civil society. The program aims to achieve the following objectives: a) Document and address HLP rights abuse and violations of the vulnerable community members and improve land tenure security of vulnerable communities particularly those of women-headed households, in Aden, Al-Hudaydah, and Al-Hawta cities. b) Enhance capacity of the national and local government as well as vulnerable community members and the civil society organizations (land management and legal assistance) in protecting and promoting HLP rights in Yemen. The project has two proposed outcomes that contributes to improved land tenure security of concerned beneficiaries: Outcome – 1: HLP rights of IDPs and women-headed households in Aden, Al-Hudaydah, and Al-Hawta cities are addressed. Outcome – 2: Capacity of civil society and other key stakeholders are enhanced to monitor HLP right violations and promote land tenure security and access to adequate housing. The program is expected to target 30,000 beneficiaries in vulnerable communities, with special focus on IDPs/returnees and women and girls, in their areas of origin, as well as government officials, members from Civil Society Organization and community members to strengthen their capacities on HLP rights. This achievement will be measurable through these intended results: • Improved knowledge and understanding of HLP violations and issues in Yemen. • 30,000 beneficiaries (20,000 beneficiaries in Aden city, 3,000 beneficiaries in Al-Hudaydah city, and 7,000 beneficiaries in Al-Hawta city), including IDPs and women-headed households, will have improved land tenure security and better protection of their HLP rights. • The local government offices, including General Authority for Land Surveying and Urban Planning (GALSUP), Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Awqaf, and Ministry of Works and Highways, will be strengthened through capacity building training. UN-Habitat, will map and document HLP rights abuses and violations to better understand the current situation vulnerable community members are facing, particularly for women and girls due to exacerbated inequalities and gender discrimination, and their access to HLP rights that are often violated. UN-Habitat will build capacity on HLP rights based on international principles, conduct awareness, build capacity on HLP to NGOs, Women and Youth to improve their technical and operational capacity on HLP rights, so youth, women or NGOs are able to advocate and support the protection of HLP rights in the targeted areas, raise the awareness to the vulnerable population, mainstream HLP protection, report HLP abuses and violations and address HLP issues for vulnerable population, and help the vulnerable population to better understand the HLP and secure HLP documentation. Particularly, the project is envisaged to identify target female-headed households by inviting them to awareness sessions and information-sharing workshop for women-only sessions. As a result, the program hopes to eventually strengthen UN-Habitat United States of America-Permanent Mission Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Yemen Western Asia Housing policy and administrative management 1462962.0 1462962.0 1462962.0 1462962.0 2452173.0 Total income to date 2347737.95 Total expenditure to date 41120-100536 UN-Habitat The UN-Habitat approach will focus on reducing vulnerability, strengthening resilience, and creating an environment conducive to the implementation of housing programmes and will be able to rely on a methodology that allows for real transfer of skills. Based on this approach, the planned activities are distributed under the two main components: Component A] Strengthening of the national framework in terms of disaster- and climate related resilience building and resilient housing, land and property policies; Component B] Strengthening land planning and management capacities, with a particular focus on disaster- and climate-related resilience. According to the two components of the project listed above, the project will be implemented in two main phases: Phase 1 : · National assessment of the Comoros city system. · Multi-scale analysis: Collecting data on urbanization · Main recommendations at different scales Phase 2: · Capacity building of stakeholders on the sustainable development of a normative, legal and institutional framework in order to contribute to strengthening the resilience of the Comorian territory · Dissemination of acquired knowledge UN-Habitat Comoros-Ministry of Spatial Planning Town Planning and Housing Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Actual End Date Comoros Eastern Africa Government administration 374241.0 374241.0 375156.91 Total income to date 374190.98 Total expenditure to date 41120-100600 UN-Habitat The outcomes and outputs proposed are: Outcome 1. National and local governments develop and have the tools to implement a coherent urban policy based on evidence and in line with the NUA and SDGs. Output 1.1. Technical analyses on the urban and territorial context of each country. This output consists of preparing six synthetic urban and territorial diagnostic documents for Belize, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. The objective of these documents will be to identify the main urban and territorial challenges in each country and their interaction with existing demographic, social and economic dynamics, generating reflections from which to propose innovative solutions and strategies for action in sustainable urban development. As part of the analysis, demographic, social, cultural, economic, environmental, urban and territorial information will be included, within which the dynamics of migration, inequality and socio-economic impact of the pandemic in the sub-region will be considered. A similar exercise was previously prepared by the Mexico office for Honduras and Guatemala (2020), based on official statistics and global data provided by the Knowledge and Innovation Branch, interviews with national and local actors and investigation. These two documents prepared for Honduras and Guatemala will be the reference for the other six countries and will be used as a basis to define the agency's workplan in these countries for the coming years. Output 1.2. Data base with an inventory of informal settlements in Central America and the Dominican Republic. This output focuses on the development of a specific database and inventory of informal settlements in the subregion, to be used as a basis for the planning and development of public policies in the different countries. As part of this output, an analysis of public data and information will be carried out, as well as a territorial comparison based on the use of satellite images, in order to subsequently generate territorial mapping using geographic information systems (GIS) to identify the location and main characteristics of informal settlements in the principal cities of the region. Output 1.3. Technical drafts of the National Urban Policies cocreated with Honduras and Guatemala. This output focuses on providing support to the national governments of Honduras and Guatemala for the co-creation of their national urban policies, in alignment with the commitments of the New Urban Agenda and the SDG targets. As part of this output, it is proposed to work closely with the national and local institutions in charge of territorial and urban management in both countries for the different phases of the elaboration of their urban policies, including diagnosis, scenario analysis, instrument proposal, policy formulation, monitoring and evaluation plan. For the integration of national urban policies, it is proposed to adopt a proactive approach, considering the territory and the system of cities in the different countries of the subregion as a vector for sustainable development, whose proper management can have an impact on addressing various challenges, including poverty, inequality, socio-spatial segregation, vulnerability to the effects of climate change, the impact of pandemics, migration, security, gender inequality, lack of access to services and work opportunities, among others. Additionally, it is proposed to generate a specific strategy for territorialization of the SDGs and NUA, through the NUPs, which could be an input for both countries to report their advances in the implementation of both global agendas. Output 1.4. Comparative analysis and compilation of best practices in terms of NUPs, metropolitan, territorial and regional management in the subregion In order to provide inputs to Belize, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Dominican Republic to adapt their national urban policies to the NAU commitments and the SDG targets, this output consists of a compilation document comprising: a comparative analysis of the status of the NUPs in the subregion and a compilation of best practices and recommendations on national urban policies, governance, metropolitan, territorial and regional management strategies as a technical reference for the national institutions. Output 1.5. Strategy for technical advisory on SDG’s, NUA and informal settlements in Honduras and Guatemala This output consists of generating a specific strategy for technical assistance to the national and local governments of Honduras and Guatemala in terms of the SDGs, the NAU and the upgrading of informal settlements, which will be implemented transversally throughout the technical assistance process and through different mechanisms, including specific meetings, dissemination of global tools and inputs, participation in the UNCTs of both countries, etc. As part of this output, consultations will be held with national and local governments to define t UN-Habitat Switzerland - Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Actual End Date Dominican Republic Central America Caribbean Urban development and management 4120000.0 4120000.0 4120000.0 4120000.0 4119999.96 Total income to date 4118587.34 Total expenditure to date 41120-100879 UN-Habitat The proposed action deploys a community-based approach to address HLP needs in Kabul and Herat. The two cities have large numbers of vulnerable people requiring HLP assistance: according to the 2022 HNO, out of a total of 6 million people in HLP need around 1.6 million are in Kabul and Herat. Many of those in need are IDPs and returnees that live in extremely challenging conditions in urban informal settlements. According to REACH’s 2021 survey of informal IDP and returnee settlements, nearly 80 per cent are located in urban and peri-urban areas. Pervasive insecure HLP rights have resulted in frequent threats of eviction for these communities, and constrained humanitarian investments in lifesaving shelter and WASH, because neither communities nor humanitarian agencies can make long-term investments in the absence of secure HLP rights. The fall of the government has brought challenges and opportunities to securing HLP rights that this action directly responds to. A key challenge is that many legal frameworks that support individual ownership, such as the 2018 Land Management Law, are uncertain given the power transition that has occurred. A key opportunity is that many of the impediments to securing HLP rights were associated with the former government, including a reluctance to provide urban land to vulnerable groups and rather allocate it to well-connected individuals To respond to the current context, challenges and opportunities, the proposed project will utilize a community-centered approach to strengthening HLP rights in urban informal IDP and returnee settlements where insecure property rights have resulted in historic threats of eviction and barriers to humanitarian investment. In this way, the following activities will be implemented: 1. Communal land claims of 50,000 IDPs and returnees living in informal settlements in Kabul and Herat are documented and mapped; maps are endorsed by Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies 2 Community-based settlement plans are developed for 6 informal settlements in Kabul and Herat and their priority humanitarian investments to upgrade communal infrastructure are actioned; settlement plans and investments are endorsed by Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies 3 Coordination with community organizations and humanitarian agencies to extend shelter, infrastructure and service investments in informal settlements through development of a strategic plan. The activities will result in the project’s key outcome: strengthened communal HLP rights for displaced people. First, documenting the socioeconomic aspects and mapping the spatial attributes of settlements, in coordination with Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies increases the legitimacy of informal settlements, hence strengthening their communal HLP rights. Developing a new settlement plan and implementing priority investments identified by the community consolidates informal settlements, strengthening communal HLP rights, as well as providing lifesaving essential services (e.g. drainage) to those most in need.

Matching supply with this surging demand is a principal and critical challenge for countries around the world, especially in urban areas in developing countries. Currently, this demand is being met through the increased use of fossil fuels. The majority of the world's power is generated from the use of coal, oil, and gas. These so-called fossil fuels, when burned, release heat energy which is then converted into electricity, releasing great amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Renewable energy offers a solution to both challenges. As controlling carbon emissions in cities is critical in dealing with climate change, and renewable energy is an appropriate way to meet energy demands without degrading the ecosystem. Also, apart from bringing environmental sustainability, renewable energy offers another advantage - the ability to provide power to even the most disadvantaged people living in the remotest areas where traditional power is not yet available. As such, an expanded power grid through renewable energy can spark greater social equality. Thus, MOLIT Korea and IAE have cooperated for a demonstration project of a renewable energy plant with unused resources in the city, using untapped resources in cities in Asian and Pacific developing countries, specifically Viet Nam. With this demonstration project, IAE intends to cooperate with UN-Habitat and together lead the agenda of developing a smart urban planning framework for GHG emission reduction and resource management technologies in the target city for transforming energy source from fossil fuels to unused resources in the city. Approach The specific outputs of this project are as follows: Component 1: Capacity building and knowledge management To develop an enabling environment for GHG emission reduction technologies, raise awareness, and build capacities for national and city government officials and local communities on GHG emission reduction and resource management technologies Output 1.1: Improved knowledge about the GHG emission reduction and resource management technologies Activity 1.1: Capacity building and knowledge sharing through series of technical meetings and seminars Component 2: Innovative and smart urban planning and development framework To develop an innovative and smart urban planning framework for GHG emission reduction and resource management technologies Output 2.1: Initiated innovative and smart urban planning and development framework Activity 2.1: Support local governments to develop the urban planning strategy for GHG emission reduction and resource management technologies Local governments are currently facing the challenges of GHG emission reduction and efficient resource management in cities. For these, huge numbers of related technologies have been introduced and local governments have attempted to apply for those technologies to their infrastructures. However, local governments are lack of technical capacity and experience to analyze their needs of technologies for GHG emission reduction and resource management. Thus, this component will support local government to develop the framework for integrating this agenda into urban planning and development, and identify smart and innovative technologies for GHG emission reduction and resource management in cities. Component 3: Policy review support To enhance policy framework: Support the policy framework revision to promote policy and legislation related to GHG emission reduction and resource management technologies in urban areas.

Initial Project summary, before extension : This project is the continuation of a project started in 2020 being undertaken in three refugee communities - two in Lebanon and one in Iraq – to document the HLP claims of Syrian refugees, proposing an approach towards addressing the HLP issues in the ongoing Syrian conflict, building on the set of ongoing land and HLP-related interventions undertaken by various UN and non-UN actors. It combines activities that can produce results in the short term and activities that can build a basis for future more comprehensive land and HLP-related interventions in Syria and neighbouring countries. Both humanitarian and the longer-term development perspectives are considered. The project has one proposed outcome that contributes to improved land tenure security and safeguards of the HLP rights of Syrian refugees in their area of origin while being displaced in Lebanon and Iraq: “HLP rights and claims documented and archived through the implementation of the STDM tool”. The project supports other ongoing and upcoming initiatives related to the documentation, conservation, archiving, and restoration/reconstruction of HLP documents, led by UN-Habitat and other UN agencies with the support of non-UN actors. Coordination with related programmes, projects, initiatives, working groups and mechanisms is ensured. Through the use of the Social Tenure Domain Model, the project will map, register and provide evidence supporting the HLP claims of Syrian refugees currently in Lebanon and Iraq. HLP claims include, but go beyond, land records officially recognized by the Syrian authorities. Claims recorded will be, when possible, substantiated by cadastral evidence about ownership and include secondary rights (e.g. informal occupation, tenancy, group rights, use rights, etc.). A broad variety of evidence will be considered, including cadastral documents, utility bills, testimonies, photos, relevant civil documentation documents, etc. The household data collected will belong to the refugees and it will be to their discretion the disclosure and further use of the information compiled beyond the scope of the project. UN-Habitat will retain a copy of the data developed and will be able to process it for analysis and advocacy. If refugee households will agree, the data will be made available to inform future land-related claims and restitution processes through modalities and safeguards agreed, and in compliance with relevant laws and frameworks and to be part of other land and HLP ongoing. Local NGOs are trained to implement the pilot projects on the ground and operate the version of STDM. The first phase of the project allowed to define the approach, identify partners and beneficiaries, develop the capacities of key stakeholders and to customise the tools and approaches used: the Continuum of Land Rights, Participatory Enumeration, the Social Tenure Domain Model, the Gender Evaluation Criteria for Large Scale Land Tools and the Youth and Land Responsiveness Criteria developed by the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) and already tested in conflict and displacement-affected areas, including Darfur/Sudan and Sinjar/Iraq . Further, although with some delays due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions, and to other safety issues, the enumeration of the HLP claims was started in May 2021 with about 3,200 claims collected until July 2021. The second phase will continue the enumeration activities started during the first phase of the project, allowing to collect additional 3,000 claims (for a total of 6,600 claims) while refining the approach for upscaling and replication. Further, building on the work ongoing (through the project and other UN-Habitat and partners’ initiatives on HLP) technical options for a consolidated and multi-stakeholder HLP claims / documents repository will be developed, in the form of a detailed technical paper, to support possible political and technical options taken for restitution and compensation. The project envisages a multi-stakeholder process to define technical options for a property restitution (and potentially compensation) programme, including key functionalities. Finally, based on the data collected and lessons learnt from the implementation of the pilot projects, an HLP smart phone app for the registration of HLP claims and supporting evidence will be developed, this will take the shape of a technical proposal that could provide for the basis for a potential following phase of the project undertaken in coordination with other relevant initiatives. Throughout the project implementation, gender and youth-responsive approaches will be adopted to ensure that the pilot projects and their outcomes adequately reflect the needs and protect the rights of both men and women, across all age groups, independently of their religion and socio-economic status, etc. The needs and rights of disabled persons will be mainstreamed throughout the project. 1.1.

The main approaches will consist of: (i) selecting the intervention areas in each municipality following a participatory assessment of the prevalence of conflicts induced or exacerbated by the displacement of the population affected by the crisis in the North-West and South-West, (ii) identifying the types of mechanisms that can foster community participation in decision making and in conflict prevention (iii) and mapping progress made toward the improvement of social cohesion in each locality. The overarching goal of this project is to contribute to the enhancement of social cohesion in areas with rapidly growing numbers of IDPs. To achieve this objective, the project will have three main implementation strategies. 1. Foster participatory process to improve social cohesion This will be done through the following aspects:  The organisation of a joint planning workshop prior to the official launch of the project. The purpose is to present the final project document, to review its log frame and monitoring mechanism, to raise awareness on risk management, Do no Harm principles, exist strategy, to review the proposed communication and visibility actions, to outline the importance and approaches of result based management and participatory budgeting, and to have consensus around the baseline questionnaires and methodology. This will enable the local and national governments, implementing partners, and representatives of beneficiaries to have a common understanding of the programmatic arrangements and clarify roles of parties while precising the importance of reducing the conflict sensitivity risks  The gender and age specific perception study of conflicts and insecurity at municipal level and deep analysis of those induced or exacerbated by the presence of IDPs will be undertaken. The result will enable the team to refine baseline data, confirm the intervention areas in each municipality, and provide recommendations for better the planning, implementation and monitoring of the project. The baseline study will contribute to refine the risk and propose means of tracking and reporting.  The development and expansion of the participatory process started during the formulation phase will be sustained throughout the project. At different stage of the project, the consultation with beneficiaries and local governments will be promoted. Secondly, IDPs and host communities will be encouraged for work side by side with other actors of conflict dynamics to take decisions over mechanisms and actions to take for increasing trust, reducing conflicts, and fostering local governance. 2. Promote the understanding and use of governance index Planned outputs and operational activities will be based on participatory mechanisms and principle of Good Urban/Municipal Governance (Effectiveness, Equity, Participation and Accountability). The project will support the improvement of local governance mechanism at neighbourhood and municipal level. Analysis of the root causes and triggers of conflicts have illustrated the limited or lack of effectiveness, equity, participation and accountability in housing in the target areas of the project. Local stakeholders will select indicators which will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the project to determine whether local governance has been improved. Finally, to contribute to social cohesion, participatory budgeting will be promoted between local governments, IDPs, and host communities including CSOs and private sector. 3. Ensure effective communication for Local Ownership In the urban areas of the Littoral and West regions, there is an increase in security incidents, which has been linked to the increase in the number of displaced persons. Insecurity is manifested partly in the increase in juvenile delinquency, prostitution of women and girls, theft of motorbikes or from theft of agricultural products on plots, burglary and night-time assaults. According to interviews with young people and neighbourhood leaders, the increase in criminal practices caused by the presence of displaced people who are not well known or who do not have adequate means of subsistence is at the root of the increase in the feeling of insecurity among the host populations. The main actors in these conflict dynamics are young boys and girls, women or girls involved in prostitution, mothers, private sector, civil society, public authorities including women councillors and, in the police,, who struggle to improve public lighting and to provide permanent opportunities for educational and economic integration. Municipal authorities are at the centre of efforts to improve the security of people and property through prevention actions. 4.

Ninewa remains one of the most affected governorates with 256,034 IDPs and 43% of its housing damaged. The significant scale of physical destruction, scarcity of job opportunities, lack of valid ownership documentation especially for women, and lack of access to compensation for the destroyed properties have had a significant impact and prevented many IDPs from returning to their area of origin. According to recent assessment, there are approximately 5,555,643 affected people by lack, missing or outdated HLP documentation in Iraq while the direct people in need of HLP is estimated at 2,357,597 people who face issues of lack of HLP documentation or have security of tenure issues. Of those, particularly female headed households, who still remain the most affected population facing increased risk and severe issues with HLP related issues. Beneficiaries whose properties were damaged or destroyed during the war face significant challenges or have limited information on HLP and property compensation. Many of those still displaced or recently returned have no or limited knowledge on the legal procedures to file a claim. Subsequently, very few compensation claims have recorded by the Compensation Committees. Moreover, ethnic and religious minorities have been often subjected to discriminatory practices that deny their ownership of documentation, affecting their tenure security and rights to compensation. Supporting marginalized groups to submit property compensation claims will improve victims of conflict’s access to justice and contribute to the restoration of their human rights. The proposed program will prioritize minority groups in Baaj and Sinjar vulnerable groups including female heads of household, survivors of violence and trauma, victims of military operations and persons with disability/ies, including older persons. Vulnerable ethnic/religious minorities such as Christians, Yazidis and Shabaks will be prioritized, as many of these minorities have not been able to obtain ownership documentation and file compensation claims for their damaged/destroyed properties due to discriminatory practices or lack of support to resolve HLP documentation. In addition to the absence of security of tenure and property rights, humanitarian and development actors are concerned that many IDPs may not be able to return to their communities of origin as basic services such as schools, health centres, water, sanitation and electricity are still severely damaged or in ruins. Many families do not intend to leave the camps as they know they will not be able to find schools for their children in the home communities. As stated in UN’s Durable Solutions Paper recently presented to GoI, “The mere return, local integration or settlement of IDPs elsewhere in the country are not durable solutions”. Improve the rights and living conditions of the Yazidi minority population in Baaj and Sinjar Districts. Outcome – Vulnerable Yazidi families in Baaj and Sinjar have enhanced security of tenure, improved living conditions and increased access to durable solutions. The program is expected to target 27,400 beneficiaries in vulnerable communities, with special focus on IDPs/returnees and women and girls, children and youth in their areas of origin, as well as government officials, members from Civil Society Organization and community members to strengthen their capacities on HLP rights and improve access to education. This achievement will be measurable through these intended results: - Conduct awareness sessions on housing, land and property rights and compensation scheme for 1,200 people across both districts. - Provide legal assistance to file compensation claims for damaged/destroyed properties for 100 families in each district. - Rehabilitate two schools and/or other necessary prioritized infrastructure for families to return to their communities (Al-Eaalam Secondary School and Al-Qahtaniya Secondary School have been prioritized). UN-Habitat will provide legal assistance and counselling to households whose properties were damaged/destroyed during the conflict and support them to file their compensation claims to the compensation committees to receive their entitlements. UN-Habitat will prioritize female-headed households who are in need of legal assistance to ensure that there is no discrimination against such category, who usually are banned to access their HLP rights. In this regard it will encourage women and female-headed households in decision making processes and encourage them to claim their compensation for their damaged/destroyed properties, which meanwhile it will contribute to strengthen women HLP rights, increase their socio-economic and cultural status and prevent them also from discrimination or any violation agai UN-Habitat France-Ministry of Foreign Affairs Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Actual End Date Iraq Western Asia Immediate post-emergency reconstruction and rehabilitation 495211.0 495211.0 496365.96 Total income to date 495731.46 Total expenditure to date 41120-102582 UN-Habitat Waste Wise Cities programme (WWC) was launched by UN-Habitat on World Habitat Day 2018 with a call to action to tackle the global challenge of waste management. The programme aims to support cities and local governments in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals related to waste and as well as in implementing the New Urban Agenda. With the support of Vanke Foundation, the online course From Data to Tangible Impact: Achieving Waste SDGs by 2030 was developed, currently available in English and soon in French, Spanish, and Bahasa Indonesia. The course introduces users to the first steps to develop, in a participatory and inclusive manner, municipal solid waste management strategies and action plans based on data. It also introduces the Waste Wise Cities Tool (WaCT), which provides an image of a city's waste management system, collecting data on waste generated, collected, and managed in controlled facilities. The course is intended for all solid waste professionals, city officials involved in municipal solid waste management, and anyone interested in guidance on how to achieve waste-related SDGs. The proposed project, as a part of the WWC and with the support of Vanke Foundation, will apply and disseminate the online course in China, and support Chinese cities to enhance waste management and resources efficiency through following three actions: • Developing a Chinese version of the online course: the project will engage Chinese translators and experts to translate and localize the online course of “From Data to Tangible Impact: Achieving Waste SDGs by 2030”, and upload the course on an appropriate Chinese platform that allows Chinese audiences to access and use it. • Disseminating the online course and building the capacity of solid waste management personnel of selected cities: the project will print hard copies and prepare electronic materials of the course for dissemination and organize two onsite training workshops for Chinese waste management-related personnel. • Sharing good practices on solid waste management: considering that Chinese cities have made great progress on waste wise management and gained valuable experiences, the project will select six representative Chinese cities to join the WWC programme, and summarize their experiences and lessons learnt on solid waste management, particularly on using digital technologies. These good practices will be uploaded on the UN-Habitat WWC platform. A virtual workshop will be organized to launch the good practices.

They may lose community networks and mechanisms of self-reliance and may encounter obstacles and challenges in attaining durable solutions. Without meaningful access to physical safety, shelter, food, medical services, educational opportunities, and steady income, persons of concern (particularly women and children) risk exposure to human rights violations (e.g. killings, sexual violence, and abductions persist amid continuing conflict. Many women and children are still living in precarious conditions, sleeping in the open or in overcrowded public spaces further exposing them to risks of harassment, assault or sexual exploitation). Consequently, many find themselves resorting to negative coping strategies, such as debt accumulation, survival sex, and early marriage in the absence of preventive and mitigating measures. As a result of this alarming situation returnees and IDPs’ resulting lack of access to basic services, there is a pressing need to ensure adequate and safe access to basic services for the PoCs, such as shelter, livelihood, education, health, water, and energy. Access to livelihoods is a key factor influencing decision-making for returnees and a primary determinant of sustainable reintegration. The lack of livelihood opportunities is also a key driver of urbanization, recruitment by armed elements, and irregular onward movements. The alarmingly high rates of poverty and unemployment also underline the profound socioeconomic and development challenges. Other gaps in the context of livelihoods include the need to match career and entrepreneurial skills with local job markets, limited access to financial services, and the need to provide support to microenterprises. Lack of linkages and representation of Returnee and IDP families to the local Community Development Councils is one of the key challenges for re-integration prospects. Returnees and IDPs’ presence within host communities increases the pressure on shared community resources (e.g., water, healthcare, education, etc.). The lack of access to basic services and social safety networks exacerbates the vulnerability of persons with specific needs. This project, in line with the Co-PROSPER strategy, will improve the protection space and reduce vulnerabilities by increasing access to services such as (water, education, health, electricity), and physical services (e.g., adequate housing). In addition, this project aims to support conducive conditions for the sustainable reintegration by strengthening essential services and facilities in Priority Areas of Return and Reintegration (PARRs) while fostering social cohesion and strengthening community resilience and self-reliance capacities.

This contributes to many stubborn problems such as a high rate of accidents, high levels of pollution, social exclusion for those without access to a vehicle, high incidence of non-communicable diseases. These reduce the quality of life of urban communities, increases vulnerability, burdens health care system and diminishes the potential of people thriving and fulfilling their potential. This project seeks to co-ordinate physical actions with measures to change perceptions and priorities so walking and cycling are more likely to be seen not just as possible but preferable by more people in the community. To this end three parallel objectives are pursued; in essence to raise the emphasis addressing this placed on issue amongst decision makers, to showcase interventions that can be demonstrated to change the balance of influences on choice of travel behaviour on key identified routes and to promote active transport in the wider community. In the absence of being able to connect directly with the government as the focus of power in this field in the immediate future the project instead seeks to co-ordinated and facilitate other actors with the intellectual capital and commitment to addressing this issue and in particular Kabul university.

In doing so, it will enable compliance with Law 14.159, of 01/31/2021, which establishes the Secretariat of Territorial Planning and Popular Participation (in Portuguese: Secretaria de Planejamento do Território e Participação Popular - SEPPOP) and a set of goals for the promotion of sustainable city development within the framework of territorial planning. Producing regular and structured data is a key strategy for more transparent, evidence-based, fair and accountable decision-making. However, the traditional data sources and methodologies employed by national statistical agencies - such as census, household surveys and administrative registers - can be costly, and in many cases do not provide information in the time frame needed. Municipal authorities often face challenges related to these methodologies and traditional data sources. Most of these materials fail to clearly show relevant social groups and their particularities In a context of rapid urbanization and increasing social demands - particularly amidst the COVID-19 pandemic -, data is essential to end invisibility and exclusion patterns that disproportionately disadvantage residents of informal settlements, women and girls, children, and other segments of society. Considering the need to maintain an updated database and the inefficiency of traditional data sources, especially when related to informal settlements, the Juiz de Fora City Hall sought UN-Habitat Brazil after learning about the experiences of the organization in the city of Rio de Janeiro and in the state of Alagoas. In this sense, two methodologies used in the aforementioned projects were considered relevant to the Municipality needs: the Quick Participatory Mapping (QPM) and the Socio-economic Profile. The QPM aims to produce primary data in order to better understand local urban dynamics, and to subsequently develop strategies for slum upgrading and prevention to positively affect the living conditions of its inhabitants. The Socio-economic Profile of Juiz de Fora’s slums will identify families’ sociodemographic and economic profiles, residential mobility, access to community equipment and services, and perception of the territories in which they live, that is, the quality of their lives and their community. This project will be implemented in all informal settlements in the city (specifically in all Special Zones of Social Interest/Zonas Especiais de Interesse Social - ZEIS). ZEIS are a zoning category that enables the establishment of a specific urban planning standard with special, more permissive rules for certain areas of the city. The demarcation of occupied ZEIS aims to recognize, include and regularize, by means of a zoning and specific plan, portions of the city built illegally. It allows the introduction of infrastructure services and basic equipment, improving the living conditions of the population. According to the Juiz de Fora's Master Plan, the selected territories of this project are 139 ZEIS of the city, indicated in the map below. The project’s outputs will allow the Municipality to update its databases before the next Brazilian Demographic Census (expected to start in 2022). The goal of the project is to improve the formulation and planning of urban policies and public services targeting vulnerable urban populations in Juiz de Fora. To achieve this, the project will identify the most vulnerable portions of the selected territories, including their infrastructure and services, and obtain information about dwellers’ perceptions on their living conditions. Furthermore, it will support evidence-based city planning, decision-making and resource allocation processes for a prioritization of public policies. The project’s outcome is: Strengthened Municipality of Juiz de Fora management information systems for decision-making affecting targeted vulnerable urban populations The project outputs are: - Output 1.1: Communication and awareness plan for entering the 139 informal settlements (ZEIS) developed - Output 1.2: Quick Participatory Mapping (QPM) reports for 139 informal settlements (ZEIS) elaborated - Output 1.3: Maps of infrastructure conditions and services for the 139 informal settlements (ZEIS) produced - Output 1.4: Integrated report of the QPMs of the informal settlements (ZEIS) of Juiz de Fora published - Output 1.5: Socio-economic Profile of 139 informal settlements’ (ZEIS) conducted - Output 1.6: Data dashboard with all collected and analysed information built - Output 1.7: Training needs assessment targeting municipality urban secretariats conducted - Output 1.8: Training in the use of data to feed public policies in the municipality to guide decision-making to improve services, carried out The project is linked to UN-Habitat's Strategic Plan, Domain of change 1: “Red UN-Habitat Municipality of Juiz de Fora-Brazil Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Actual End Date Brazil South America Urban development and management 300000.0 300000.0 508974.01 Total income to date 508091.13 Total expenditure to date 41120-102880 UN-Habitat Government of India has made positive efforts in the realm of advocacy, rights, and social inclusion.

The aim is to open discourse and exchange of ideas to demonstrate ways to shape accessible, inclusive and safe cities. The proposal seeks to strengthen the Government commitment to disability inclusion through (a) setting up of network of disability rights experts to advise on national plans and policies especially in urban areas, (b) to build capacities of state-level functionaries by developing knowledge products to ensure effective implementation of CRPD and RPWD 2016 in line with SDG 11, (c) facilitate meaningful participation of PWDs in policy discussions by organizing stakeholder consultation on gender and disability inclusion in urban development and preparing policy briefs, and (d) creating partnerships with private sector, disabled people’s organizations, and civil society on co-curating Smart Solutions for increased disability inclusion in cities through a Challenge process.

Lebanon is one of the countries with high densities of refugees in the tune of 1 out of 4 (out of the estimated population of 6 million, 1.5 million are refugees). In fact, noting Lebanon’s current energy crisis, this project is crucial to facilitate access to electricity for public facilities and street lights in their surroundings so as to ensure continuity of their operations. This in turn will ensure access of the vulnerable communities to social and health services and enhanced safety and security conditions. The project will start with a technical assessment of six selected critical public facilities – mainly social development centers, civil defense centers, and primary health centers - affected by the energy crisis, in Greater Beirut and a social assessment – mainly safety and security conditions- of the neighbourhoods they are located in. After analysis of the data, three public facilities, in coordination with the relevant stakeholders, will be selected to be part of this project. The design of the renewable energy systems will be completed by a selected consultant in close coordination with the Lebanese Center for Energy conservation (LCEC) that operates under the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW) to ensure that all local policies and guidelines will be taken into consideration. It is expected to install around 100 kWp for the three public facilities; Numbers will be confirmed by the consultant who will be recruited for this project. Nevertheless, UN-Habitat team, in close coordination with LCEC, already undertook a rapid assessment to identify needed power for each facility, availability of technical room, roof conditions, and other components… The project will establish a technical committee to oversee project implementation at technical level, this committee will be composed of representatives from UN-Habitat, LCEC, a consultant, benefitting public facilities, and municipality; they will follow up on the design and implementation of the systems. The selected consultant, in coordination with LCEC, will be requested to conduct an energy au dit to each facility in order to propose the optimal solution depending on the power demand.After validation of the designed systems, a contractor will be selected to complete the execution while being monitored by the technical committee. Alongside procurement and installation of the renewable energy systems, a maintenance plan for the PV systems installed on the roofs and street lighting will be developed in close coordination with relevant stakeholders through capacity building trainings.

The project aims to (i) undertake feasible basic rehabilitation of infrastructure projects in a participatory manner in targeted conflict affected areas, and (ii) deliver projects in a manner compliant with a high degree of environmental and social safeguards employed throughout. The Programme since established in 2016 has worked to design and deliver interventions appropriate to the resilience and area-based recovery needs. UN-Habitat’s Syria Programme committed to a rights based, people-centric approach and area-based approach that ensures prioritized activities are grounded within a strong evidence base and informed by a participatory process of determining criticality. With the advantage of having had several years of piloting and upscaling innovative approaches to urban resilience and recovery in Syria, the Programme has actively sought to broaden its range of activities in Syria across areas of: - Basic Recovery Plans. UN-Habitat has completed basic recovery plans for more than 85 conflict affected cities in Syria. - Advanced Recovery Plans for Aleppo, Daraa and Deir Ez Zour Cities (more detailed urban recovery profiles; Strategic sector recovery needs / specific impacts (eg. housing, environment, heritage)). - Area-based COVID-19 risk assessment with preparedness and response plan. - Implementation of packages of integrated service and recovery interventions in specific locations. With thanks to the achievements of the first phase of activities under German funds and also through parallel projects including UN-Habitat’s activities in the Joint Programme on Urban and Rural Resilience (JP URR), UN-Habitat has acquired much expertise in conflict sensitive approaches to implementing recovery interventions. In prioritising due diligence measures, the Agency has accumulated much lessons learned from practice to confidently deliver interventions in the protracted crisis context. -Community engagement and due diligence mechanisms. Participatory processes lie at the heart of UN-Habitat’s area-based conflict sensitive approach. Much effort goes towards achieving diverse and representative community participation as a means of seeking buy in, trust building and consensus on recovery priorities. UN-Habitat’s Urban Recovery Framework (URF) provides the broader policy framework from which UN-Habitat’s Syria Programme defines its activities and focus areas. The URF constitutes seven cross-cutting pillars which traverse the four key stages of analysis, planning, implementation and monitoring. In addition to the framework for programming provided by the URF, the Programme benefits from having several projects which have produced rich analysis and data made available to inform the design of conflict sensitive, resilience orientated responses (Urban Analysis Network Syria (UrbAN-S)/a total of 21 city profiles produced; Strengthening Capacity to Address Housing Land and Property Issues. UN-Habitat is the lead agency on a joint programme inclusive of UNDP, FAO and NRC to undertake research and analysis on the HLP context of Syria; building on a comprehensive range of lessons and good practice examples, the Programme proposes to continue its engagement under the generous support of the Federal Republic of Germany, and initiate Phase II, building upon the achievements of Phase I and reinforcing the gains made. Within the scope of a second phase, UN-Habitat proposes to continue to apply methods that proved effective during the first, most notably, a continued reliance on UN-Habitat’s extensive recovery planning work to inform restoration of service priorities and interventions, a continued application of the highest standards of due diligence activities and a reinforced commitment to a participatory, conflict sensitive, area-based approach to recovery. It is the intention of UN-Habitat to continue to target interventions towards supporting the most vulnerable of Syria’s populations by restoring minimal functionality to the most critical of basic of service infrastructure. For a given location, the Recovery Plans themselves serve the purpose of identifying the most vulnerable conflict effected populations and/or neighbourhoods, including returnees, IDPs and other vulnerable groups. As demonstrated in the first phase, this is a greatly effective approach to mitigating the risk of further deterioration for Syria’s most vulnerable groups and de-escalate tensions from unaddressed grievances which risk giving rise to a return to localised violence, and ultimately facilitate a transition towards recovery. Through the participatory, conflict sensitive area-based approach, UN-Habitat will support further resilience building and recovery in Aleppo where the needs remain severe, and initiate the recovery planning process, supported by targeted interventions in Homs and/or Hama UN-Habitat Germany-KfW Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Syrian Arab Republic Western Asia Immediate post-emergency reconstruction and rehabilitation 6474752.48 6474752.48 6474752.48 8257276.23 Total income to date 5638855.74 Total expenditure to date 41120-103744 UN-Habitat The main objective of this project is to promote peace in communities in the north of Guinea Bissau through dialogue and inclusive and transparent mechanisms for the sustainable use and management of land. The project aims to pilot a series of mechanisms and approaches that can be leveraged by communities and institutions addressing land governance issues at different levels to reduce the competition for land among individuals, families, and communities, and minimize the conflict among different institutions involved in land governance. The project will have a specific focus on youth inclusion in land governance: youth will be the entry point to leverage existing capacities and innovate existing structures contributing to make the legal framework more clear, effective, and inclusive. Overall, the project will focus on dialogue and collaborative land use planning mechanisms to minimize the potential for land conflict, strengthening the relationship between citizens and institutions. The proposed intervention will foster youth inclusion in conflict prevention and management and will contribute to improve the collaboration between formal and traditional entities and communities to better manage conflicts that eventually arise. Finally, it will work on empowering youth at the community level to leverage their access to land and economic opportunities so as to deduct them from the conflict dynamics that affect them. The experience will serve as a reference for the elaboration of policy recommendations and the identification of good practices for the institutionalization of the piloted approaches, tools and methodologies, allowing for replication and scaling.

By 2030, 60% of urban populations will be under 18 and in the Global South, 70% are under 30 — this increases when looking in informal settlements and slums. We recognize that without the meaningful engagement of this ‘Urban Youth Bulge’, long-term sustainability will not be achieved. Addressing the issues of urban health and well-being effectively requires co-design and co-production of knowledge between urban experts, decision makers and the community. The goal is to set up a 3-year Programme focusing on intermediary cities in Senegal, India, and Colombia to improve the urban health and wellbeing of young people through their active engagement in urban governance, design of inclusive public space and digital engagement. The Young Gamechangers Initiative (YGI) will select cities through an open call and will support local governments to prioritize issues related to young people’s health and well-being and to engage priority groups in decision-making such as young persons with disabilities, LGBTQ+, slum dwellers, young migrants and refugees, etc. The project will enable changes in digital, health, learning, knowledge and city systems. The project will be led by UN-Habitat in collaboration with Block by Block Foundation and will be implemented with a range of private and public partners including the World Health Organization (WHO), local governments in the selected cities, Eva Studios, Microsoft and local youth-led organizations. The overall objective is to improve the health and well-being of young people in intermediary cities by: 1 | Strengthening governance frameworks to advance health and well-being of young people: In many parts of the world, youth is one group that is systematically left out of governance processes, making them more likely to be ill-served by new laws, policies and development plans. Lessons from UN-Habitat’s long-standing Urban Youth Fund and the One-Stop Resource Centres show that community participation can improve outcomes by bringing together people with different information, help produce policies with greater public acceptability and improve trust in government, while promoting the personal growth of participants. YGI will build on UN-Habitat’s youth and governance experiences to increase meaningful participation and allow young people and local governments to understand the value of engagement throughout the process. This will be achieved through eight studios in which young people and policy makers will collaborate as equal partners on public space assessments, participatory design, tactical placemaking and ultimately, the urban governance studio, as well as the digital democracy participation platform. 2 | Empowering young people with voice and agency and equip them with the right digital skills to engage in governance: Many urban technology innovation projects fail because of a lack of understanding of cities by technology providers, a lack of understanding of technology by city governments and a general lack of meaningful community participation. Digital tools open up new ways of working that break down the barriers for youth participation. UN-Habitat’s evaluations of the Block by Block programme show that using Minecraft is a great way of co-creating urban designs while building digital skills and confidence. In this project we build on those experiences and involve the young people in all phases of the digital public space assessment, design and governance process. Through this process the participating young people will develop crucial digital skills in mapping, design, digital democracy and public participation that will enable them to enter the 21st century job market. 3 | Supporting local authorities to deliver public spaces that are safe, accessible and that promoted health and wellbeing for young people: Public spaces are one of the key levers to promoting public health in rapidly urbanizing cities and towns. Issues of distribution, quality, density, location, access, and management of public open space impacts on human health and health equity directly, and through the wider determinants of health. During the Covid-19 pandemic, public spaces have been rediscovered as places where people can socialize, be physically active and relax. The pandemic has reaffirmed the need to distribute (quality) public space more evenly in many cities and especially in poor neighbourhoods where easily accessible parks, gardens and playgrounds are in short supply. YGI’s objective is to ensure that public spaces are inclusive, accessible, safe and more importantly promote good health and well-being for young people -- reducing stress levels, improving mental health and well-being, and contributing to children and youth development. It builds on 10 years of UN-Habitat’s Global Public Space Programme which has a range of public space improvement tools and processes – including the site-spe UN-Habitat Foundation Botnar Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Africa Asia Latin America and the Caribbean Multisector aid for basic social services 3990380.0 3990380.0 3990380.0 3990380.0 3805629.65 Total income to date 3688125.59 Total expenditure to date 41120-104098 UN-Habitat Southern Africa is highly exposed to recurrent natural hazards such as cyclones, floods, sea level rise/coastal erosion and drought. An effective response to climate change requires deliberate and sustained action from both state and non-state actors that is anchored in domestic implementation of the Paris Agreement through nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Implementing NDCs requires supportive regulatory and institutional frameworks and a regular assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of these frameworks. This project intends to support Malawi, Namibia, and Zimbabwe in achieving resilient and low carbon urban development by improving the understanding of, and building the capacities on, legal frameworks. To improve the understanding of, and building the capacities on, legal frameworks to support climate-friendly urban development in Malawi, Malawi, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, the project the project is based on a two-pronged approach comprising of: (1) An in-depth legal assessment to improve the understanding of the adequacy of the countries’ legal frameworks to promote resilient and low carbon urban development by making use of the Law and climate change toolkit methodology (climatelawtoolkit.org). It is an innovative online tool designed to help countries establish legal frameworks necessary for effective domestic implementation of the Paris Agreement. Local and National governments in the targeted countries will actively participate in conducting the country assessments by providing information and validating the findings. (2) Capacity development programme will be organized in parallel to improve the understanding of key government stakeholders and build their capacity to identify and advance required policy changes to increase the impact of the legal assessments, its findings and recommendations.

Conflicts relating to land use among socio-cultural groups and inter-generationally are adding to the already critical security situation and are a threat to peace and social cohesion. The fact that more than 77 per cent of the population is under 35 years old means that young women and men are at the forefront of many challenges, but also regarding land conflicts. However, the inadequate knowledge of existing land legislation among the majority of the population as well as key actors (local government, traditional authorities, landowners), and the lack of adequate land conflict management mechanisms that includes youth at a local level leaves few avenues for young women and men to pursue if their land tenure is challenged. In a society, where young people traditionally are not included in decision-making processes and have little tenure rights, this is increasing frustration and anger. These factors, alongside a weak institutional capacity to administer land governance and urban and territorial land-use planning among local and regional governments, mean that there are not adequate capacities or knowledge in place to address the needs of youth in land conflict resolution. The lack (or non-respect) of land use planning has led to the repurposing of agricultural land to other uses (e.g. mining or urbanisation), further reducing the already curtailed land available for young women and men to sustain decent and dignified livelihoods. This limited land availability for youth is further entrenched by the degradation of natural resources and climate change impacts on land, with young women and men having little knowledge of land restoration methods or how to adapt to such climatic changes. Without adequate mechanism to peacefully resolve land disputes at community level, peace and social cohesion are threatened. However, peace is also at risk due to the limited livelihood options for young women and men and the lack of presence and failure of the state in fulfilling its role in providing basic services and an enabling environment for socio-economic opportunities, which increases frustration among young people and makes them vulnerable for extremist messages and increases the risk of them joining armed group. Project approach: The project approach includes three pillars: - Fostering inclusive land management mechanisms at community level for preventing and resolving conflicts; - Increasing the capacity of local actors on land use and territorial planning, for defining use and ensuring to provide a structured and planned population growth in peri-urban and rural municipalities; - Enabling alternative options to rural and peri-urban youth for livelihoods. The project aims to put young women and young men at the center of land conflict prevention and peacebuilding in rural and peri-urban areas by enabling them to play a more active role in land conflict mechanisms, which are already part of the current legislation, but which in many cases have not been established or are lacking capacity and resources to be fully functional. The project will either support the establishment of those mechanisms or strengthen existing ones so that young women and men (if applicable from host and IDP communities) can participate in consultations on land and peace issues and conflict resolution mechanisms. For the valuable participation of youth in those bodies, their knowledge and skills on existing laws and policies on land need to be improved. Local actors (community leaders, notabilities, landowners, and local government officials) will also receive parallel but separate training sessions on legal texts but also customary traditions, which still play a strong role in Burkina Faso. In this way, all actors will have the same level of information on existing land legislation texts, the differences to customary practices, and the possible roles of young women and men in land management and conflict resolution. The expectation is that with increased knowledge of all relevant actors on legal texts, local government will be further advancing the inclusion of young women and men in land management, territorial planning and conflict mechanisms as foreseen in the legal texts already. Young women and men will also be trained for more diverse livelihood generation opportunities tailored to a context of increasing urbanization, densification and considering environmental degradation. Young women and men will similarly be trained on revitalizing and restoring degraded land, which can then be used by youth (and for which they will have land use rights).

Likewise, it is essential to include actions aimed at fostering the construction of community resilience in areas with high climate vulnerability and thus work on comprehensive risk management in informal settlements from a developmental rather than an emergency perspective. The authorities of the social area of Central America are aware of this reality and have expressed their willingness to work in a coordinated manner in the fight against poverty, inequality and social exclusion, and the generation of resilience in the population. Under this vision, they developed and approved the SICA Regional Comprehensive Social Policy (PAISR-SICA) and the Plan for the Recovery, Social Reconstruction and Resilience of the SICA Region (3R Plan) as its first implementation instrument in the COVID context. The Plan takes the form of a set of projects that are articulated around 3 axes of intervention: 1) social protection; 2) employability and employment; and 3) informal settlements and sustainable urban development. Each of the projects brings together strategic and transformative actions that seek to provide comprehensive and coordinated responses to problems prioritized by the countries, promoting their reactivation and recovery, while creating conditions for more resilient, socially just and environmentally sustainable societies. Complementary nature of the intervention With the aim to advance on to the implementation of the 3R Plan, UN-Habitat elaborated an umbrella programme for Contribution to the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and the post-pandemic recovery in Central America and the Dominican Republic through the UN-Habitat Strategic Plan 2021-2023 and in the context of the Decade of Action. The general objective of this umbrella programme, is to promote the generation of knowledge, capacity building, policy advisory, support to National Urban Policies and implementation of urban actions at neighborhood level, so that cities in the region become active actors of sustainable development, by utilizing UN-Habitat LAC Sustainable Urban development outlook. Under this umbrella programme, a collaboration has been established with the Swiss Development Cooperation Agency (SDC) aimed at building more inclusive, sustainable and resilient urban systems that become drivers of development and improve the living conditions of the vulnerable population in Central America and the Dominican Republic. Also, given the situation faced by the SICA region as a result of the succession of climatic emergencies superimposed on the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of the 3R Plan will require a previous phase that organizes and leads the response of the States to the current emergency and is aimed at humanitarian assistance and initial rehabilitation. In this preliminary phase, the actions of Axis 3 related to the georeferenced knowledge of the territories are of special interest, prioritizing the identification of the communities at greatest risk and allowing the intervention of neighbourhood improvement projects to be oriented. In this regard, another intervention is being implemented by the Secretariat for Central American Social Integration (SISCA), which would be aimed at creating mechanisms that contribute to the generation of information for decision making in urban and territorial policy. The interventions to be implemented by UN-Habitat and SISCA will be aimed at creating tools focused on promoting the articulation of efforts for the implementation of comprehensive actions that contribute to the improvement of the quality of life and generation of resilience of the inhabitants of informal settlements, contributing to the strengthening of local governments for the promotion of effective urban planning processes that promote a safe, equitable, sustainable and resilient city. Therefore, this specific project with the Andalusian Agency of International Cooperation for Development (AACID), also framed under the umbrella programme of UN-Habitat for the region, has a complementary character. Its main expected accomplishment is to contribute to strengthening of capacities for the implementation of comprehensive actions that contribute to the improvement of the quality of life and generation of resilience of the inhabitants of informal settlements and to the strengthening of planning processes that contribute to the reduction of urban segregation in Central America and the Dominican Republic.

In addition, the project will conduct advocacy for a legal, progressive and appropriate land reform, dissemination of legal texts and training and pilot implementation of tools for securing residential and land tenure; sensitization of local communities, government officials, and the private sector on their rights and obligations; support for victims of infrastructure demolition operations; and prevention and monitoring of human rights violations related to mining. Particular attention will be paid to vulnerable communities (women and youth in particular) to promote social cohesion, but also to reduce the motivations for the departure of young people who no longer have cultivable land (immigration and rural exodus) and to promote adaptation to climate change. The project will have targeted and localized interventions in sensitive and potentially conflict-prone areas and areas affected by the eviction campaign. These will be the following prefectures and municipalities: Boffa: ruaral communes of Tamita, Tougnifily and Lisso; Dubréka: urban commune, Tanènè; Forécariah: Moussa Famorya, Maferinyah, Benty; Coyah: urban commune, Manéah and Kouria; Conakry: 5 municipalities (Kaloum, Dixinn, Ratoma, Matam and Matoto) (for the purpose of training of central and local technical services in particular).

Well-planned and well-governed cities are the future and will help address issues related to poverty, social exclusion and spatial inequality, shared prosperity, climate and the environment, and various forms of crisis.1 In 2015, Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 interlinked Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of these, SDG11, focuses explicitly on cities. It aims to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.” By working to achieve SDG11, Member States have not only recognized the scale of urbanization and the fact that more than 50 per cent of the world’s population now lives in urban areas, but also the key role of cities in the global economy, the climate change agenda, and the use of natural resources, as well as the contribution of cities to social advancement and innovation. Along with the 2030 Agenda, Member States agreed to other key international frameworks in 2015. The Paris Agreement, which seeks to limit global warming, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction both have strong interlinkages with urban development. The global recognition of sustainable urbanization’s role in development culminated with the historical adoption of the New Urban Agenda (NUA) at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2016. The NUA, underpinned by transformative commitments articulated across the three pillars of sustainability (social, economic and environmental), is a blueprint toward achieving sustainable urbanization and a roadmap for its effective implementation. It reasserts a positive notion of cities, demonstrating that if well planned and managed, urbanization can be a transformative force for inclusive prosperity and well-being, while protecting the environment and addressing climate change. In other words, localizing and scaling up the implementation of the NUA will accelerate achievement of the SDGs. The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda of Spain (MITMA) drew up, in 2019, the Spanish Urban Agenda, which constitutes a National Urban Policy understood as a strategic document, without regulatory character, that pursues the achievement of sustainability approached from the territorial context of the towns and cities of Spain. The definition of the Spanish Urban Agenda was the product of a long process of reflection and participation among an important group of actors, which included different entities of the central administration, the regional administrations and local administrations, the academy, the private sector, the professional associations and other civil society stakeholders. The Spanish Urban Agenda includes the Action Plan of the General State Administration which, among the measures aimed at improving participation, exchange and dissemination of knowledge, incorporates the creation of a National Urban Forum as a tool that should contribute to its objectives and the commitments acquired with the NAU. The Spanish Urban Agenda identifies and proposes, through the Action Plan of the State Administration, the articulation of a series of actions in the regulatory and planning field, in financing, in governance, in citizen participation and in the exchange and dissemination of knowledge and experiences in relation to urban phenomena. Within these measures, action 5.1 proposes: "to create a National Urban Forum, supported by the United Nations, which will be a regular and general meeting point to promote participation and knowledge on urban issues." UN-Habitat, as a focal point within the United Nations system for the implementation of the New Urban Agenda, has extensive and proven experience in the development and implementation of National Urban Forums in different countries of the world, in addition to serving as a channel collaboration and direct exchange of knowledge and experiences between Spain and the Latin American and Caribbean region, a region with which the Ministry maintains a collaborative and cooperative relationship on sustainable urbanization issues that, in recent years, is being adapted to the new needs arising from the approval of the NAU and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - including the Sustainable Development Goals-, as well as other global agendas such as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the Action Agenda of Addis Ababa on Financing for Development and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, among others. For 2022 Contribution to be implemented in 2023 The important and growing concentration of the world's population in urban areas has caused them to acquire an unprecedented role, turning urbanization into one of the most transformative trends.

In 2019, UN-Habitat and the Department of Environment, Territorial Planning and Housing of the Basque Government signed an Agreement with the general objective of Strengthen the capacities of the partners of the New Urban Agenda, so that they can respond to the opportunities and challenges of sustainable urbanization in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda. Under this agreement, UN-Habitat is supporting the definition of the Strategy for the Implementation of the Urban Agenda of Euskadi “Bultzatu 2050” covering a set of activities that go from supporting the conceptualization of the Strategy for Implementation of the Urban Agenda of Euskadi, as well as support for the organization of work groups that in a participatory manner contribute to the socialization and collective and investee construction of said strategy. This new project is defined as a third phase of the project started in 2019 and continued in 2020, and consequently gives continuity to the objectives and expected results of the two previous phases. In this regard, it proposes activities for the implementation process of the Urban Agenda of Euskadi, particularly in relation to a new approach in the conceptualization and structuring of impact assessment of its implementation; Likewise, it focuses on supporting the conceptualization and preparation of spaces aimed at facilitating governance in the implementation of the Basque Urban Agenda, through the exchange of good practices and the participation of the main actors. Similarly, as focused on the development of the normative work of UN-Habitat, the project focus on generating specialized knowledge through the organization of Working Groups of Global Experts on matters to be jointly agreed upon, as well as well as the activities of promotion, incidence and dissemination of the New Urban Agenda and the principles of sustainable urban development. Expected results of the project are: Expected Accomplishment 1 (EA.1):Specialized knowledge generated and capacities of governments and other actors strengthened for the development of more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities that foster sustainable urban development in the context of the 2030 Development Agenda and the New Urban Agenda. Expected Accomplishment 2 (EA.2):Strengthened partnerships and collaborations with networks of local governments and other partners of the New Urban Agenda through the incidence, dissemination, awareness and support of mobilization efforts in the process of local implementation of the New Urban Agenda and the Agenda of Development 2030. Aligned with the UN-Habitat Strategic Plan 2020-2023, the project will follow the focus on the development of normative work , understood according to the definition established by the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) . In this regard, the project will focus on the support to the implementation of global agendas - NUA and the urban dimension of 2030 Agenda- into national and subnational contexts. To achieve this, the project approach is focused in four specific areas: Knowledge generation, particularly in relation to the definition, coordination and implementation of National and Sub-National urban strategies. The project will allow to promote the creation of spaces for both national and global debate on relation to issues of normative work of UN-Habitat and the Global Agendas. Through these spaces and the production of works related to urban policies and strategies, their evolution in the Spanish context will be enriched, and examples of urban policies and strategies will be generated linked to global agendas. Additionally, the project will allow to extract some conclusions on relation to two issues that are not extensively explored so far by the normative work of UN-Habitat: the first one, the development of tools for the implementation of National Urban Policies in highly decentralized countries; and the second, the development of means for implementing the global agendas in high-income countries and regions based in their universality principles. Capacity development for the definition and implementation of urban policies and strategies. The project will allow supporting to Spanish national and sub-national governments, in their processes of definition and implementation of urban policies and strategies.

In other words, it depends on harnessing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to prevent and reduce climate change impacts. For example, reforestation recharges groundwater supplies and fights desertification; coastal habitat protection provides flood defence; lakes and rivers can provide a natural drainage system for flood water. The approach of building climate resilience through EbA is gaining increasing attention from the international community, mostly because of its accessibility to communities in developing countries and its cost-effectiveness, in addition to the mitigation and socio-economic co-benefits that it provides, such as job creation and distributive justice for natural resources. Urban EbA is an approach that uses provisioning, regulating, and supporting ecosystem services as part of a holistic adaptation strategy in urban settings. Urban ecosystems are the cities’ green infrastructure such as gardens, parks, and natural habitat that surround the urban clusters e.g. forest, wetland etc. Unplanned and rapid urban development usually lead to degradation of the green infrastructure of cities as well as the surrounding ecosystems. For example, the replacement of natural surroundings and green spaces with housing, grey infrastructure, and croplands can cause more flooding, water pollution in open water resources, reduction in water infiltration and soil erosion. These reduce the ability of ecosystems to provide services to the urban areas and increase the vulnerability of local communities. Most of the countries in the Arab region are highly urbanized and characterised by rapid urbanization, water stress, and food insecurity, which leaves their population clusters and economic activities exposed to climate change impacts and extreme events. Moreover, the Arab region hosts diverse ecosystems, ranging from desert, mountains, fresh water, forests, marine and coastal ecosystems. Some of these ecosystems are already being degraded because they are located next to or within urban areas. The exploration and application of urban EbA as a solution for these challenges in the Arab region is needed at an early stage and the scientific literature on this issue is scarce. The project aims to promote urban EbA as a nature-based solution for climate change and disaster risk reduction in cities and strengthen the capacity of adaptation experts and climate change policy makers on the national and local government levels in the region. This will be done through: 1) the development of region-specific training material and EbA guide that includes case studies and best practices of EbA and NbS in the Arab Region, which would be of benefit to practitioners in the region, and 2) the delivery of capacity building on urban EbA to selected national and local level adaptation experts and climate change policy makers in the region. Ideally, capacity building recipients would be able to raise awareness on EbA and mainstream urban EbA solutions in their respective institutions and countries/cities, as well as deliver the same training they received using the developed region-specific urban EbA guide and training material. The training may also aid in unlocking potential funding and build a programme at the regional level. Climate change impacts are most felt by vulnerable groups including urban poor, women, children and older persons. The long-term aim of this project is to mainstream EbA in urban and climate policies and plans, which if achieved, will have a positive impact on the community as a whole through raising ecosystem and socio-economic resilience. Thus NbS & EbA have positive impacts on gender, youth and human rights.

The District already has a Territorial Management Plan for the Tourist and Cultural District adopted under Decree No. 0977 of 2001; however, territorial, socioeconomic, political and institutional dynamics have forced the local government to adjust and update this planning instrument, as well as to align it with national territorial management instruments and international methodologies. For this reason, this initiative consists of technical support from UN-Habitat to the Municipality of Cartagena de Indias in the process of updating the POT and socializing with community; and review and adjustment of the long-term structural component from the perspective of the NUA and SDG’s. The project seeks to contribute from two main components: Promotion of integrated urban development through updated and inclusive planning instruments, under the principles of the NUA and the SDGs, and the review and formulation of technical contributions to the documents that are an integral part of the POT. This promotion process includes participatory exercises with the community and other relevant stakeholders. The second component of the project is the strengthening of local government capacities to effectively intervene, transform and improve the development of cities through knowledge and innovative tools, such as the design and implementation of a digital record, with open data, which allows the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the POT and the PEMP; as well as the implementation of participatory exercises with the community, through digital tools and methodologies of the agency, such as the block-by-block methodology. Likewise, throughout the Project, UN-Habitat will provide technical support in thematic forums organized by the Municipality, for the transmission of knowledge, good practices and experiences at regional, national and international levels.

Hence, if the 2030 Agenda wants to respect its transformative potential, it has to be fully realized at local level – the SDGs need to be localized. At the same time, the pandemic has exposed and exacerbated the fragilities and inequalities deeply rooted in our societies – specifically in cities and urban areas. Cities have indeed faced the 90% of COVID-19 related cases, making them particularly vulnerable to the consequences – social, economic, environmental, cultural – of the pandemic. The COVID-19 crisis has also shown the great importance of local action in both addressing the immediate health emergency and in designing a recovery that is inclusive, sustainable, and resilient. Local governments, along with non-state local actors have been essential in keeping our societies safe and functional, while should be put at the center of the recovery to create plans and policies responsive to the necessities of communities. There are critical links between the achievement of the SDGs and recovering from the pandemic, and both have strong local dimensions. Working towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and advancing an inclusive and resilient recovery at all levels are not either-or processes, they are two sides of the same coin. Nevertheless, in order to do so, local and regional governments and local stakeholders cannot act alone. Effective multilevel governance systems have to be put in place. This to enhance policy coherence and effectiveness of delivery – while developing national recovery plans placing territories and SDG localization the center. The project proposes to develop a global research on multilevel governance for SDG localization and post-pandemic recovery, looking at providing key recommendations to both local and national governments to foster multilevel collaboration for the achievement of the SDGs, in view of informing the recovery process. To facilitate access to knowledge and capacity building, the main content of the research will be translated into a capacity building digital platform. In addition, opportunities for peer learning and international engagement will be organized in the context of the main international and UN-led fora on SDGs.

Clean Green Pakistan Index (CGPI) is a core pillar of CGPM and is a city/tehsil and neighbourhood-level index which aims to rank cities/tehsils according to their cleanliness and greenery. CGPI provides the basis to know the progress, gaps and required interventions. The results of the phase-I of CGPI implemented in 20 cities of KP and Punjab provinces were announced by the Prime Minister in October 2021. UN-Habitat was acting as the Third-Party Monitoring agency for CGPM for phase I. As the CGPI is now being scaled up to 86 cities of Pakistan, it is pertinent to institutionalize third-party monitoring and evaluation of the overall programme of CGPI as well as the validation of the core objective and ninth strategic pillar of Clean Green Pakistan Movement. UN-Habitat Country of Pakistan, Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP), Ministry of Climate Change and GIZ explored possibilities for Third Party Monitoring of Clean Green Cities Index for effective implementation of the national programme. The proposed project is to monitor the data reported under CGPI by cities. UN Habitat will lead the role of Third-Party Monitoring of the data received under CGPI. The monitoring and evaluation by UN Habitat will facilitate in substantiating the results under CGPI. It will also support in devising a mechanism to review the process, identify challenges and consolidate the findings to recommend improvement in the CGPI. UN Habitat will lead the role of Third-Party Monitoring of the data received under CGPI. The following actions would be taken to achieve the objectives of the project:  Create awareness of CGPI indicators among the stakeholders.  Review the data collection and reporting process in the sample cities and identifying key challenges and limitations.  Identify the progress and gaps on the proposed approach of CGPI  Assess performance of the implementing partners and the program as a whole with respect to sustainability.  Recommend actions to be undertaken by different stakeholders to improve the CGPI performance as a whole and its components.

On the other hand, the City Resilience Global Programme shall develop a regional resilience profile approach taking Catalonia as a calibration opportunity to be replicated in other parts of the world in future. Project Approach UN-Habitat’s City Resilience Global Programme, entering its seventh (7) year term in Barcelona, will continue to provide partners at national, local and international levels, an integrated multi-hazard, multi-sector, multi-stakeholder framework for measuring and monitoring urban systems ability to withstand and recover quickly from any plausible hazard. Overall goal: Cities are safer places to live and work as urban managers are able to implement strategic development planning and programmes that target specific indicators of resilience to multi-hazard catastrophic events. Expected outputs: •An adaptable urban system model suitable for all human settlements; •A set of indicators for calibrating urban systems ability to withstand and recover from crisis; •Software systems that produce urban resilience profiles; •A new normative framework for monitoring urban systems globally; •Support on Urban Resilience to a diverse range of cities around the world; •Support on development of national and regional urban resilience plans to governments. Within the UN-Habitat’s City Resilience Global Programme, several work streams contribute to achieving its objectives: tool development and testing, dialogue with cities and other key stakeholders, standard setting for urban resilience, advocacy, and resource mobilization, among others. The next 4 years programme supported by the partnership continues to contribute to the overall goals and remaining outputs with a specific focus on management, advocacy, outreach and communications; support to IT and software development and integration of the methodology, CRPT analytic tool, and ongoing operations. International events as the World Urban Forum, the Smart City Expo World Congress, the Barcelona Resilience Week, the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction and others will put the City Resilience Global Programme as the leading Programme for safer and resilient cities. Main Expected Accomplishments Project objective: The Global Programme diagnostic methodologies, action planning and monitoring system is fully established and ready to support cities around the world. 1. IT and software development: a. The Global Programme tools development team coordinates through a series of regular workshops, the planning and development of IT capacity to acquire, and store relevant required data; transport the data to the Programme for analytics and development of City Resilience Profiles; and receive results to inform future planning, development and governance decision making. Result: Cities with appropriate tools, methodologies and capacity to measure its resilience, generate new investment in development projects, protect its citizens and assets from all hazards; and monitor resilience gains permanently. b. The tools development team and periodically IT experts (from the Programme and partners) contribute to development and continuous improvement of algorithms and software for ‘front end’ use by local government partners; analytic systems; and ‘back end’ visualisation tools. Result: Barcelona has contributed to the production of software that will eventually be licensed to all Programme partner cities to assist them to create and implement their resilience action plans; monitoring systems and urban planning, development and governance processes. 2. Advocacy, outreach and communications: a) The Global Programme advocacy, outreach and communications team coordinates with appropriate focal points within the partnership to continue developing new publications, media, and social media products for: • Promoting the achievements and progress made at city level; • Sharing knowledge and learning with other city partners; • Integrating the Partnership in regional and global events related to urban resilience; and, • Promoting the region of Catalonia as a global centre of excellence for urban resilience at the territory. Result: Catalonia’s role as a centre of excellence in regional resilience is enhanced; new local/regional/national partnerships are created; and knowledge built and transferred through Programme’s platforms, networks and partners. 3. Standards and normative frameworks: a) The Global Programme technical research team will use the experience of the region of Catalonia as a baseline illustrating how the urban resilience agenda of UN-Habitat’s Global City Resilience Programme addresses the commitments of UN Member States to the entire 2030 Agenda for Development by UN-Habitat Spain-Departament de Territori i Sostenibilitat - Generalitat de Catalunya Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Spain Southern Europe Disaster prevention and preparedness 1339356.0 1339356.0 1339356.0 1339356.0 1339356.0 1300365.52 Total income to date 1298583.81 Total expenditure to date 41120-107459 UN-Habitat Through this joint programme, UN-Habitat and UNFPA will merge their expertise on basic services provision, and women’s empowerment and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) to promote safer, sustainable, and more inclusive conditions in QFs/isolation facilities/community centres in Lao PDR. The overall goal of this project is to safeguard the health, safety and well-being of people in QFs/isolation facilities/community centres, as well as communities at risk in Lao PDR, thereby improving the response to Covid-19 and the containment of the virus. This will be achieved by the provision of adequate and sustainable WASH facilities/hard infrastructure, physical improvements to QFs and isolation facilities, gender-responsive support and health services, and women-friendly spaces. Therefore, this programme will target Quarantine Facilities, isolation facilities and communities at risk to rapidly address WASH and gender issues in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Capacity-building, training and Information, Education and Communication (IEC) will be carried out to ensure that people managing the facilities are able to do so in a safe, hygienic and gender-responsive manner. Special consideration will be given to the disproportionate impacts of Covid-19 on women, girls and other marginalised groups, causing increased rates of SGBV and limiting their access to essential services. Guided by human rights principles such as participation, accountability, equality and non-discrimination, the project aims to empower local governments, city authorities and communities, particularly women’s organizations, to strengthen right-holders and duty-bearers’ capacity to co-create safer, more inclusive QFs and isolation facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic. UN-Habitat component: UN-Habitat will implement Component 1 of the project “WASH facilities/hard infrastructure and physical improvements to QFs, isolation facilities, community centres and communities at risk”. This component is based on UN-Habitat’s rapid response for improvement of gender-responsive WASH in QFs/isolation facilities/community centres and communities at risk. Physical improvements to QF/isolation facility/community centre structures will further increase the safety, health and liveability of the facilities. This component is to be implemented in 5 provinces: Sayabouly, Luang Prabang Savannakhet, Saravane and Champassak. The intervention is scheduled to begin in Q2 2022 and run until Q2 2023. The proposed budget is US$ 369,564. UNFPA Component : Provision of protection and social services for women and girls, including safety measures that are gender-sensitive, for QFs and protection shelters based on UNFPA guide and analysis (see Annex III: UNFPA Guidance Note on Protecting the Rights of Women and Girls in Lao PDR in the COVID-19 context.) This component is based on the work of UNFPA in supporting the Lao Government to implement the Essential Service Package, and will focus on the establishment of three more protection shelters in Bolikhamxay, Champasak, Attapeu provinces and strengthen the operationalization of two existing protection shelters in Vientiane Capital and Savannakhet province, the mainstreaming of gender responsive measures for the QFs and Ifs, provision of mental health and psychosocial support, and the provision of hygiene kits.

This new project is directly related to two previous projects, implemented between 2018 and 2020, to support processes of the Madrid City Council. As part of the normative work developed in recent years, UN-Habitat, with the support of the Madrid City Council, has been leading a systematic and comprehensive process within the United Nations System for the development of a Global Urban Monitoring Framework (GUMF), which represents a common effort of the System to harmonize the indexes of local and urban development. Similarly, the development of UN-Habitat's normative work on Voluntary Local Reviews of the 2030 Agenda was also promoted, first through the organization of an EGM focused on the debate on the links between local reviews and voluntary national reviews of the 2030 Agenda, and, in parallel, through the elaboration of the second volume of the Guidelines for Voluntary Local Reviews publication. The general objective of this project is to strengthen the capacities of the local governments that are partners of the New Urban Agenda, so that they can respond to the opportunities and challenges of sustainable urbanization, in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda Project approach The new Strategic Plan of UN-Habitat for the period 2020-2023, approved at the first General Assembly of UN-Habitat held in May 2019, clearly defines the areas of action that allow implementing the mandate of the UN-Habitat organization. The mission statement is "UN-Habitat promotes transformative change in cities and human settlements through knowledge, policy advice, technical assistance and collaborative action to leave no one and no place behind”.The mandate of UN-Habitat is implemented globally through three modes of action: normative work, operational work and integrated work. It is in this third category of projects that the collaboration with the City Council of Madrid is inscribed. Through it, it will contribute, from and together with the experience of the City Council, to the local implementation of the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda, and will thus support the effective execution of the mandate of UN-Habitat providing added value to its normative work through an effective strategy of knowledge generation, advocacy, promotion of alliances and networks, and support around the promotion of Sustainable Urban Development. Expected accomplishments In accordance with the Strategic Plan 2020-2023, the following accomplishments are expected: • Expected accomplishment 1 (EA 1): Increase of normative knowledge in relation to urban monitoring and reporting mechanisms of the 2030 Agenda and the New Urban Agenda at local level. • Expected accomplishment2 (EA 2): Increase of capacities of Madrid City council in relation to urban monitoring and reporting tools of the 2030 Agenda and the New Urban Agenda. • Expected Accomplishment3 (EA 3): Advocacy generated and strengthened alliances with local partners and other relevant actors related to the New Urban Agenda and the 2030 Agenda. The project will support the finalization and approval of the Global Urban Monitoring Framework (GUMF), as well as support the development of the normative work of UN-Habitat in relation to the Guidelines for Voluntary Local Reviews (VLR). Additionally, it will allow to provide technical support in the process of defining the first Voluntary Local Review (VLR) on the progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in the city of Madrid, including the adaptation - alignment of the GUMF in relation to the monitoring framework established in the Madrid 2030 Strategy, and providing orientation and participation of the process and recommendations on the drafts prepared. Finally, through this project, advocacy and awareness-raising strategies will be supported to strengthen mobilization efforts through partnerships, promotions and activities related to the local application of the New Urban Agenda and impact on the process of its implementation, facilitating the participation of representatives of the Madrid City Council in global discussion forums related to sustainable urban development, as well as by organizing other advocacy and communication events.

After establishing coordination with WASH and Shelter/NFIs clusters, ARD has conducted a needs assessment, which indicated the urgent need of NDIs for IDPsin some hosting sites and the need for lifesaving water activity "water trucking", latrines, water tanks, and rehab of available water sources. As some organizations covered the gap related to some sectors, the gap in WASH and NFI remained uncovered as an urgent need to be covered to achieve complimentary with the intervention of the other partners: TOD has intervention in shelter in the hosting sites that will be targeted with WASH intervention by this project; IRC has intervention in WASH in the hosting site that will be targeted with NFI by this project. Besides, Qatar Red Crescent has intervention in health and nutrition, WFP in Food, and War Child International in protection. UN-Habitat and Assistance for Response and Development (ARD) will be to form a partnership under the umbrella of an UN-Habitat led to undertake at improving dignified living conditions for (1262) vulnerable HHs of IDPs living in IDP hosting sites (Al-Rodha, Alshat Valley, Hogaig, Al-Hasbary, Al-Najd, Aldashen, and Al-Robaiq) in prioritized sub-districts (Al Yemen, AlQahifah, and Almashawlah) of Maqbanah district,Taiz Gov. through implementing a number of activities related to WASH and NFIs At WASH sector, the project involves the rehabilitation of 4 water supply points and rehabilitation of (1) water supply system by equipped with a solar system for 350 HH in (Almashawlah) including extension of water supply network to IDPs sites, chlorinating water scheme in the targeted area, provision of water trucking for 575 HHs of IDPs in the hosting sites for 60 days, provision and installation of 16 communal water tanks/taps in IDPs sites, distribution of WASH hygiene kits and consumable hygiene kits to 575 HHs, installing 80 emergency latrines with cesspits, conducting cleaning campaigns and hygiene promotion/community mobilization in the new IDP hosting sites in Maqbanah district. At the Shelter/NFIs sector, the project involves the provision of NFI bedding kits and basic kits through in-kind NFI support to 337 vulnerable HHs in new IDPs sites (Al-Rodha, Alshat Valley, and Hogaig) in Maqbanah district. Moreover, UN-Habitat has the capacity, experience, and skilled staff to carry out the humanitarian intervention involved in the current proposal. Furthermore, UN-Habitat found that it is important to have ARD as a sub-implementing partner due to its strong access to all the hosting sites and its good relationship with local authorities, Executive Unit, and water officer, which can facilitate the implementation of the project activities as it has already conducted a needs assessment in coordination with WASH and Shelter clusters. The role of ARD will involve distributing bedding and basic kits, the hygiene kits, conducting PDM surveys, rehabilitating water points, implementing field activities related to raising awareness, chlorination, water tracking, monitoring water quality. The exit strategy of this project, it is mainly reflected in terms of the rehabilitation of the water projects in the targeted areas to ensure the access of targeted HHs of IDPs to safe water and training the community committees/CVs well to ensure their having for the knowledge/skills required to manage and follow up the functionality of rehabilitated water projects before the end of the project and in terms of the installation of latrines in the targeted hosting sites to ensure the access of the targeted HHs to suitable and appropriate sanitation when the project ends. To achieve the program objectives, the program aims to: a) Address acute WASH needs to reduce WASH Related disease amongst vulnerable and at-risk populations through timely provision of life-saving WASH assistance and services. b) Deliver life-saving WASH and NFI assistance to reduce acute needs and protection risks to displaced women, men, boys and girls affected by conflict and natural disaster. Outcome – Improved living conditions and access to assistance to vulnerable HHs in new IDPs sites in Maqbanah district and improved access to emergency and life-saving assistance for vulnerable HHs of new IDPs affected by recent displacements in existing IDPs sites with acute need in Maqbanah district.

Projected to rise to 2.16 million in 2022, the Gaza Strip population was 1.7 million in 2013. Gaza Strip residents live on 365 km2. The Gaza Strip is one of the most overpopulated areas in the world. Population distribution includes 81.5 per cent in urban centers, 2.7 per cent in rural area, and 15.8 per cent in refugee camps. Compared to the West Bank, the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip mainly comprises young individuals. Persons in the 0-4 years of age are estimated at 43.3 per cent of the total population. The 15-29 age group marks 29.8 per cent. The severe blockade has now been imposed on the Gaza Strip for fifteen years coupled with the recurrent Israeli military operations on the Gaza Strip have exacerbated the human settlements conditions. The citizens of the Gaza Strip have suffered immeasurably from the ongoing conflict including the wars in 2008- 2009, 2012, 2014 and 2021. The physical destruction from the latest escalations is incomprehensible and the end result for the people of the Gaza Strip is a continued deterioration of their human rights, including economic, social and cultural rights. Such a situation is untenable and resulted in an unprecedented level of loss and human suffering. At the height of the escalation between 10 and 21 May 2021, 113,000 IDPs sought shelter and protection at UNRWA schools or with hosting families. Since 2014, 63 per cent of households reported that their shelter had been damaged or destroyed, of which 31 per cent reported experiencing shelter damage in 2021 . The main objective of the project is to rehabilitate a portion of the housing units in the Gaza Strip which have been damaged during the May 2021 conflict. The project aims at (i) supporting self-help rehabilitation of 50 housing units for affected non-refugee Palestinians in vulnerable situations, and (ii) providing practical technical advice for the use of cash grants, and technical support and guidance to families targeted by this project whose houses have been damaged. The Cash Transfer to Beneficiaries approach will be used. The project will be implemented in the Gaza Strip.

The insecurity and its massive induced displacements, combined with the effects of previous disasters and high socio-economic vulnerability, are having profound impacts on the housing market, the land use and land tenure in receiving urban settlements, leaving local authorities largely unprepared, resulting in a lack of access to adequate housing and basic services for all, in the improper use of natural resources, little access to employment and income generating activities, resulting in marginalization and loss of social cohesion as well as diffuse food insecurity. Children were reported as the largest displaced group representing more than 50% of the IDP population (and including also young women and girls under 18, in reproductive age or already head of family), followed by women (31%) and men (23%). Displaced women and girls are the majority, as mentioned above; the displacement dynamic reinforces pre-existing discrimination and socioeconomic disadvantages, where women often face greater challenges than men in securing a decent livelihood, with repercussions on their ability to find shelter and security and to access education and healthcare, as well as in participating in community management and make their voices heard. It is estimated that families or friends in hosting communities, where the scarce resources and existing services are under unsustainable pressure due to the growth of the population influx, are actually receiving around 90% of IDPs . The provincial capital, Pemba and the towns that are considered as part of its metropolitan area of influence in the nearby districts of Metuge, are functioning as main hub for displaced population, both for temporary accommodation and permanent potential resettlement, due to the continuous flow of people escaping the violence and destruction from the northern districts via land or sea. In this urban area the total displaced population is currently overcrowding the already densely settled resident population; within the municipal boundaries of Pemba alone are located more than 150,000 IDPs representing an increase of more than 70% of the total inhabitants. The Government, led by ADIN (Agency for the Integrated Development of Northern Mozambique) is formulating a Development and Resilience Strategy for the North (ERDIN) following the approach of RPBA (Recovery and Peace Building Assessment) with technical assistance of United Nations, World Bank, European Union and African Development Bank, to support the humanitarian-development-peace nexus in the Northern Region of Mozambique, taking into account the current situation and medium-long term effects. UN-Habitat co-led the Urban Development sector note of the assessment, together with the World Bank, deepening the understanding on the socio-economical and territorial dynamics of integration of IDPs in urban and peri-urban formal and informal areas, to define guidelines and actions to guide the Region’s future development in an integrated and sustainable way. Coherently with the above mentioned context UN-Habitat and IOM are planning to act synergically to target the urban dimension of displacement as an opportunity to ensure a better future to displaced and host communities, increasing the understanding on displacement and integration mechanisms at urban scale, upgrading the capacities of the city of Pemba to provide space and better living conditions, implementing resilient community infrastructure (re) construction and/or upgrade in a specific demonstrative target area, combined with land readjustment processes to increased security of tenure, as well as awareness raising and psychosocial support, livelihood and capacity development promotion and extracting the lessons learned to best inform the implementation of the Regional Strategy at a larger scale. Based upon the results of the assessments, an action plan will be developed through community participation approaches. The modality of implementation for the (re)construction and/or upgrade of public services and community infrastructure will be supported by a series of actions which include community-based income generation activities related to the construction works, capacity building and training for community leaders, local artisans, masons and technicians, local entrepreneurs, and local government and stakeholders. Throughout the implementation, key partnerships, coordination and joint monitoring and evaluation will be ensured. In addition to the hard components, UN Habitat and IOM will support the communities with provision of psychosocial support and awareness rising on rights, services, and g UN-Habitat Canada-Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Planned Start Date Actual Start Date Planned End Date Actual End Date Mozambique Eastern Africa Disaster prevention and preparedness 1577287.07 1577287.07 1577287.07 1589524.42 Total income to date 1565868.11 Total expenditure to date 41120-111747 UN-Habitat Build a sustainable and environmentally friendly agri-food industry system in São Tomé and Príncipe to improve local food production, processing, storage and conservation.
