Using the existing platform of the Habitat
Universities Partnership Initiative (Habitat UNI), the project, aims at
mobilizing the region's partners and supporting them to create veritable
networks for engaging with governments in a consultative and a complimentary
manner in order to raise the profile of urbanization as an imperative for
development. It will also strengthen existing partnerships towards promoting
democratic governance by mobilizing and sensitizing of non-state actors to
partner effectively with their respective governments in planning for
sustainable human settlements and urban development towards Habitat III and
beyond.
The project will build collaboration and
complementarity around agreed priorities and promote support for them at
regional level. Its implementation will entail establishing an integrated
partners' database linked with the civil society network, whereby each sector,
from their own areas of strength, will engage in the development of a
resolution for the establishment of Habitat Partners Consultative Forum and
building network of pro poor organizations for partnerships with the setting
out process of the New Urban Agenda beyond Habitat III.
The project provides an opportunity for
UN-Habitat to effectively coordinate the New Urban Agenda through creating an
integrated database of different partners from the Asia Pacific and enhancing
engagement of partners in sustainable urban development and poverty
alleviation. Given their active participation at Habitat Partners Consultative
Forum, HAPs will in turn be more effective actors at their neighborhood, and
influence policies at the local and national levels in partnership with their
municipalities and national governments.
