Sustainable Relief and Reconstruction - Synopsis from World Urban Forum II & III |
|
For more than 10 years, UN-HABITAT has been operating in humanitarian and crisis situations, supporting efforts by national governments, local authorities and civil society to strengthen their capacities to manage and recover from human- made and natural disasters and mitigate future disasters. Having acknowledged the discontinuity within the international aid community between the short-term humanitarian imperative and longer- term reconstruction and development priorities, UN-HABITAT has offered its own specific perspectives on bridging this divide.

Evaluation 1000 Cities Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Programme (Progress report and future strategy) |
|
The 1000 Cities GIS Programme is based on an initiative of UN-HABITAT and Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), a major producer of software for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the world. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two institutions was signed in February 2003, generating a huge publicity and worldwide media attention. The core part of the agreement is the in-kind grant of up to 1000 ESRI GIS software packages to cities in developing countries as well as online training on the software free of charge. In addition, ESRI agreed to deliver GIS software to UN-HABITAT offices under the same conditions. Within UN-HABITAT, the Global Urban Observatory Section (GUO) was given the responsibility to implement the MoU.

Gender mainstreaming is a crucial aspect of good urban governance, as we work together towards making the international community peaceful, equitable and stable.
