| Analyse du régime foncier et social dans les provinces du nord Kivu, du sud Kivu et de l’ituri en République Démocratique du Congo | 2019 | La République Démocratique du Congo dispose d’une superficie de 2 345 409 km2 dont 80 millions de terres arables, pour une population estimée à 77 433 744 d’habitants en 2016.1 Elle figure ainsi parmi les pays d’Afrique ayant une faible densité. Cette statistique laisse croire que l’abondance des terres permet à tout Congolais d’en disposer paisiblement et selon leur besoin. Pourtant, la réalité en est autrement car le secteur foncier se trouve au centre des préoccupations et constitue un problème pour le pays. En effet, il est signalé que 80% des conflits fonciers soumis aux cours et tribunaux se rapportent, directement ou indirectement, au foncier et l’immobilier. La prépondérance des conflits relatifs au foncier résulte principalement dans la éfaillance du régime foncier à mettre en cohérence le dualisme juridique entre les textes légaux et règlementaires et les règles coutumières reconnues par la Constitution. Ces défaillances puisent leurs sources tant dans le vide ou le flou juridique par rapport au régime foncier que dans la mise en application des textes légaux et règlementaires. En conséquence, l’accessibilité à la terre reste très limitée et constitue souvent une source de conflit au niveau de la société. Par ailleurs, les défaillances ne contribuent pas à la pacification sociale dans un pays dont la paix reste encore très fragile après des années de guerre civile. |
| The Global Public Space Programme: Annual Report 2019 | 2019 | In 2012, UN-Habitat launched its Global Public Space Programme, now active in more than 75 cities across the world, with the objective to promote public spaces as a keystone for sustainable cities in order to ensure good quality of life for all. The Global Public Space Programme is a consolidated and integrated approach to public space improvement across UN-Habitat. Over the last seven years, we have developed an iterative approach to public space that includes a variety of normative and operational tools, methodologies and practices that support local and national governments and other partners to make public spaces more safe, inclusive, accessible and green. This includes public space assessments, policy guides, strategies and design principles, capacity building, participatory tools, technology and innovation projects and carrying out advocacy work and actual implementation. Together with local government and civil society partners, the programme has implemented more than 105 concrete public space upgrading projects selected through annual expressions of interests. Our work has been proven to be effective in achieving social, economic and environmental benefits. The good policy and practices that we have on a global level is shared through a network of more than hundred partner organizations. |

| NATIONAL URBAN POLICY PROGRAMME 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT | 2019 | The National Urban Policy Programme (NUPP) is an instrumental tool towards promoting and achieving transformative, inclusive, green, productive, and resilient urban development. The NUP is achieved through deliberate and shared responsibility between UN-Habitat and respective countries across the globe. In view of the externalities and challenges facing urban cities, NUP comes in handy to address the challenges with urgency and relevance in line with the New Urban Agenda (NUA) as it supports countries undertaking NUP process with tools and knowledge. This initiative is geared towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, which subsequently hastens the achievement of other SDGs. This report reviews NUP Programme for three countries; I.R. Iran, Myanmar and Niger State in Nigeria. Building on the first edition of the NUPP launched in 2017, the second edition report is a critical reference point for policy makers and urban professionals as it shows progress of the implementation of NUPP and smart cities in the pilot phase for the three countries. The Republic of Korea committed to support the development of NUP financially and technically in the I.R. Iran, Myanmar, and Niger State in Nigeria. The main objective of the report is to update stakeholders on 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 cities. The report further gives comprehensive update on key activities undertaken in 2018-2019, outcomes, next steps, activities plan, recruitments, as well as the financial report for the period. The report is a co-creation of the Republic of Korea, UN-Habitat, I.R. Iran, Myanmar, and Niger State in Nigeria who are the key implementers of the pilot phase among other stakeholders to ensure ownership and alignment of respective national development priorities. |

| Effectiveness of Planning Law in Sub-Saharan Africa | 2019 | Using the Global Sample of Cities (see Annex) as a statistically representative dataset, the Urban Legislation Unit of UN-Habitat has conducted an objective, evidence-based assessment on the application of physical planning laws. The Global Sample makes it possible for individual values to be assigned to cities after which the variations in these figures can be studied among the world regions, income groups, or population sizes. |
