Tirer parti de la Participation Communautaire à la Gouvernance locale pour une Prévention et une Résolution efficace des Conflits dans les régions du Littoral et de l’Ouest affectées par la crise du Nord-Ouest et du Sud- Ouest au Cameroun 2022 La crise sociopolitique s’est progressivement transformée en conflit armé dans les régions du Nord-Ouest et du Sud-Ouest au Cameroun, cette situation a entrainé des vagues massives de personnes déplacées et installées dans les régions voisines de l’Ouest et du littoral. Les répercussions de ces flux démographiques ont été rapides sur la cohésion sociale au sein des collectivités hôtes au niveau individuel, économique, socioculturel et sociopolitique avec des tensions diverses. Face à la précarité, la rareté des terres et la carence des opportunités économiques alors ressentis, les collectivités territoriales décentralisées font face à des défis liés à la maitrise des besoins des populations hôtes et des personnes déplacées, désormais au coude à coude face au déficit de logement, au risques liés à l’insécurité grandissante, à la rareté de terres cultivables et exploitables, à la rareté d’opportunités économiques et au besoin d’intégration socio-culturelle ;
Why infrastructure matters: active mobility, public transport, and economic growth in African cities 2022 This study explores the benefits that can accrue if cities prioritise active mobility and public transport. It quantifies the benefits of walking, cycling, and public transport in the Africa region, comparing alternate investment scenarios for the 188 largest African cities. Under a Business-as-Usual (BAU) scenario, cities would continue to focus on road expansions, flyovers, and other investments primarily catering to personal car use. In a Sustainable scenario, cities would develop adequate facilities for walking, cycling, and public transport, facilitate compact land use, and adopt measures to manage the use of private motor vehicles.

Managing Urban-Rural Linkages for Nature 2022 Launch of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework requires an integrated territorial (both urban and rural) approach for the sustainable management of biodiversity. Linkages between urban processes and rural transformation across municipalities, countries, and world regions are essential for biodiversity conservation. Urban-rural linkages are constituted by reciprocal and repetitive flows of people, goods, and financial and environmental services between specific rural, peri-urban, and urban locations. To mainstream biodiversity across the urban-rural continuum and connect nature in cities with nature in regions, these flows must respect, conserve and steward biodiversity.

NATIONAL URBAN POLICY PROGRAMME 2017-2022 FINAL REPORT 2022 The National Urban Policy Programme (NUPP) remains a pivotal tool towards the promotion and achievement of transformative, inclusive, green, productive, and resilient urban development. Since 2016, NUP has done this through shared responsibility and deliberate consultation between UN-Habitat and respective countries globally. This joint initiative aims at contributing to the successful implementation of the New Urban Agenda (NUA) to achieve sustainable and prosperous human settlements for all as NUP supports countries with the tools and knowledge to undertake the NUP process. The aim of this initiative is to attain Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 11- Sustainable Cities and Communities which by extension enable the attainment of the other 16 SDGs.

The Korea NUPP 2017-2022 final report is the final edition of the Korea NUP Programme implementation report series since its launch in 2017 and it builds on the three earlier editions thus making it a valuable, informative tool of reference for policymakers and urban professionals among other stakeholders. The report articulates the commitment of the UN-Habitat, in collaboration with the government of the Republic of Korea to support the people of I.R Iran, Myanmar, and Niger State in Nigeria to realize respective sustainable urban development agendas through NUP and Smart City Strategies. The main objective of the report is to update stakeholders on the aims of the project which are; sub-national and national governments’ capacity enhancement, knowledge centralization about smart cities strategies, and providing augmented knowledge sharing on NUP and Smart City Strategies. The report further captures the main activities undertaken in Phase 1 between 2017 and 2022, to be followed by Phase 2. Of interest to note are activities such as exchange visits, World Urban Forum, and International Conferences on NUP. Also, the report gives detailed information on country-specific activities for the three host countries on formulation and implementation of NUP and smart city strategies, culminated by a closing ceremony to close phase 1 and officially open the second phase. The report is a co-creation of the Republic of Korea, UN-Habitat, I.R Iran, Myanmar, and Niger State in Nigeria.
