Review of the World Urban Forum Sessions 2002-2008. |
|
This evaluation has been carried out in response to the resolution adopted by the Governing Council during its 22nd session in April 2009, GC/22/10. In view of the expanding scale and importance of the World Urban Forum (WUF), and the increasing engagement of the Habitat Agenda partners in the Forum, the Governing Council (GC) of the UN-Habitat decided that a review of all four WUF sessions held since 2002 should take place. The aim of the evaluation is to improve planning, organization and effectiveness of future WUFs. More specifically, the evaluation aims to assess and give recommendations related to the items as specified in the resolution GC/22/10, paragraph 2.

Summary Report 2007-2009 - Implementation of UN-HABITAT Strategic Policy on Human Settlements in Crisis (SPHSC) |
|
In its 27th Regular meeting of December 6th, 2007,
UN-HABITAT’s Committee of Permanent Representatives
endorsed the “Strategic Policy on Human Settlements
and Crisis” concluding a four year policy development
exercise undertaken in consultation with partners and
discussed during two successive Governing Councils (20
and 21). The process began with the development of the
“Sustainable Relief and Reconstruction Framework” – a
conceptual framework articulating two key principles;
the fi rst - in times of crisis, the highest possible development
gain can be made in the shortest possible timeframe,
and the second - a set of strategic interventions
in an emergency phase, if integrated in sustainable
development goals, can both reduce the period of crisis
and build a platform for early recovery and development.

Global Partnership Initiative |
|
The greatest threat youth face today is exclusion and marginalization from
decisions that affect them. Unemployment, crime, HIV/AIDS, neglect by the
authorities and often abandonment to their fate because of various forms of
discrimination top the list of problems young people face in African towns
and cities. At the same time, urban youth in developing countries possess
immense potential to contribute to social development if afforded the right
opportunities. The challenge of putting youth at the centre of development
strategies can be compared to the challenge, two decades ago, of putting
women and gender issues on the development agenda. It is no longer
conceivable that problems of developing countries can be resolved without
focusing on the role of women. A similar paradigm shift is required with
respect to youth in development

Moonbeam Brochure November 2008 |
|
The United Nations World Youth Report 2007 states that youth make up 25 per cent of the global working-age population, but account for 43.7 per cent of the unemployed. In the Africa region, 27 percent of youth are neither in school nor at work, a situation the report stresses can lead to frustration, delinquency and social
exclusion.
