Background |
|||||||||||||||||||
A. About UN–Habitat The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN–Habitat, is the United Nations agency for human settlements development. It is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable communities, towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all.
In October 2016, at the UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development – Habitat III – member states signed the New Urban Agenda. This is an action-oriented document which sets global standards of achievement in sustainable urban development, rethinking the way we build, manage, and live in cities. Through drawing together cooperation with committed partners, relevant stakeholders, and urban actors, including at all levels of government as well as the private sector, UN-Habitat is applying its technical expertise, normative work and capacity development to implement the New Urban Agenda and Sustainable Development Goal 11 – to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Mandated by the UN General Assembly in 1978 to address the issues of urban growth, UN-Habitat is a knowledge institution on urban development processes and understands the aspirations of cities and their residents. For forty years, UN-Habitat has been working in human settlements throughout the world, focusing on building a brighter future for villages, towns, and cities of all sizes. Because of these four decades of extensive experience, from the highest levels of policy to a range of specific technical issues, UN-Habitat has gained unique and universally acknowledged expertise in all things urban. This has placed UN-Habitat in the best position to develop achievable solutions to the current challenges faced by our cities. UN-Habitat is capitalizing on its experience and position to work with partners to formulate urban visions of tomorrow. It strives to ensure that cities become affordable living spaces of inclusive economic growth and social development for all citizens.
By working at all levels and with all relevant stakeholders and partners, UN–Habitat contributes to linking policy development and capacity–building activities with a view to promoting cohesive and mutually reinforcing social, economic and environmental policies in national policies and programmes in human settlements which conform with international practices and covenants.
In the Philippines Country Office, key programs and projects include national urban policy support, capacity development to manage urban development and settlements, climate change, post-disaster shelter recovery, urban planning, urban poverty reduction and slum upgrading. Support to climate change programs and projects started as early as early as 2008 under the MDGF Project of the UN. Since then, the climate change program has evolved and grown into a strategic and regular technical assistance component of the Philippines Country Office.
B. About BCRUPD Project:
The Building Climate Resiliency through Urban Plans and Designs (BCRUPD) Project is a 3-year project which started in 2017 that is implemented by UN-Habitat in the Philippines with the support from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Government. The project aims to strengthen the capacities of national government agencies (NGAs) to promote and integrate climate resilience in urban adaptation planning and designs policies and regulations towards supporting local government units (LGUs) in developing their local resilience plans and actions.
The project was provided by the donor with costed extension activities for another two years (October 2020 to September 2022). Under the extension phase, additional outputs on capacity development for the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the Climate Change Commission (CCC) will be delivered. This contracting service contributes to Output VI, Work Package VI.3: Institutional Development for DHSUD on sector climate agenda, and will directly delivery Activity VI3.a namely institutional assessment specific to climate change information and data sharing that support alignment of climate resiliency promotion across all bureaus of DHSUD and facilitate the agency monitoring and evaluation results sharing for the National Climate Change Action Plan and the Nationally Determined Contributions.
C. About the Integrated Urban Database
In line with DHSUD’s thrust for sustainable urban development and housing, one of the agency’s priority projects is the Integrated Urban Database containing consolidated information on bousing and urban development nationwide. This urban database will include among others, socialized housing projects and subdivisions, informal settler families (ISF) database, and beneficiary profiles. In parallel, the integrated urban database also aims to consider the resilience aspect as a critical component of this work. The project will have different phases, with Phase 1 in collaboration with the Planning Services scheduled this year will cover the preparations of the development plan for data sourcing, data aggregation and recommendations on data sharing and reporting
