The main purpose of the meeting is to: demonstrate, disseminate and up-scale Sustainable Cities Programme and Localizing Agenda 21-Anglophone Africa’s partners’ collective ability to transform the innovations promoted through application of Environmental Planning and Management (EPM) processes into significant physical improvements to the lives of the urban poor, supported by appropriate policy changes at the local, national and global levels; and to support Anglophone Africa and other Regional partner networks to apply these good practices/lessons learned to address the challenges of Climate Change Impacts on Cities within the framework of UN-Habitat’s recently launched Cities and Climate Change strategy, Sustainable Urban Development Network (SUD-Net) and its supporting “Cities in Climate Change Initiative(CCCI)”.
