Support To The Sustainable Development Of The Hawassa City Cluster

The overall goal of this project is to support the sustainable development of the Hawassa city cluster by providing technical assistance to improve and steer the on-going rapid urban growth of the city triggered by the recent operationalization of the HIP, in order to contribute to a more sustainable structural, social and economic transformation of the city, its surrounding areas and the region.

The specific objective is to provide on-the-job technical assistance, progressively build the required capacity of the Hawassa City Government and strengthen the coordination with the HIP, IDPC, the regional government and other concerned stakeholders to cope with the urbanisation impacts of the industrial park, with focus on spatial/urban planning, waste management and housing, at the city cluster scale.

UN-Habitat plans to provide technical expertise to the Hawassa City Government which is responsible for land use planning and management in the areas surrounding the HIP.

The aim is to progressively create sufficient capacity locally and reinforce the coordination with the HIP, IDPC, the regional government and other concerned stakeholders.

Specifically, UN-Habitat role will be to station technical experts in Hawassa with a view to build adequate capacity on-the-job to cope with the urbanisation impacts of the industrial park.

This will be done by promoting an integrated city cluster development approach, with a specific focus on spatial/urban planning, waste management and housing. In particular, as described above, proper spatial and urban planning is considered to be the right entry point to address the housing and waste management issues in an integrated manner.

For this purpose, UN-Habitat proposes to place a capable International Technical Advisor in Hawassa city, specialised in spatial/urban planning, supported by national specialists on housing and waste management, especially to build the capacity of the HCG and to reinforce coordination with the HIP, IDPC, the regional government and other stakeholders. Importantly, a participatory approach will be mainstreamed during project implementation
