The Committee of Permanent Representatives of UN-Habitat (CPR) convenes every two years, in an open-ended manner. The Committee will meet once prior to the UN-Habitat Assembly for preparation of the session and a second time for a high level mid-term review meeting.

The Committee of Permanent Representatives (CPR) to the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) will hold its first open-ended high-level midterm review meeting from 29 June to 1 July 2021. In light of the ongoing global situation with regard to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the Bureau at its meetings on 24 February 2021 and 28 April 2021, recommended that depending upon the situation, the meeting may be held in a hybrid format with simultaneous interpretation in the six official languages of the United Nations  with delegations-based outside Kenya will participate virtually and Member States based in Nairobi participate in person, taking into account the necessary pandemic-related precautionary measures. The Secretariat will continue to review the situation in consultation with the Director-General of the United Nations Office at Nairobi and the Government of Kenya and also monitor the situation of the pandemic in order to determine the best possible format for the session closer to the date of the session.
