About UN-Habitat
Background
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, is the United Nations agency for human
settlements. 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. The main
documents outlining the mandate of the organization are the Vancouver Declaration on Human
Settlements, Habitat Agenda, Istanbul Declaration on Human Settlements, the Declaration on Cities and
Other Human Settlements in the New Millennium, and Resolution 56/206.
By working at all levels and with all relevant stakeholders and partners, the agency contributes to linking
policy development and capacity-building activities with a view to promoting cohesive and mutually
reinforcing social, economic, environmental and countries’ policies and programmes in human settlements
in conformity with international practices and covenants.
UN-Habitat Afghanistan:
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, has been working within Afghanistan
since 1992 with funding support of USAID, Japanese and Australian Governments, EU, DFID, CIDA, Swiss
Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Kingdom of the Netherlands and several bilateral donors
as well as the World Bank. During this period, its Programme expanded to include a wide range of human
settlements initiatives, from small-scale neighbourhood level improvement schemes to community
empowerment.
UN-Habitat has been assisting the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan through a number of projects, both
urban and rural, supported by different donors:
UN-Habitat rolls out its community-driven development projects to major regional cities such as Kabul,
Kandahar, Jalalabad, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif to continue supporting deliver effective services to their
population in the longer term. Through the Community-Based Municipal Support Programme (CB-MSP),
UN-Habitat will demonstrate a combination of delivering basic services, empowering community people
and strengthening local government who will take over and initiate further delivering services to the
people in the near future. By building the capacity of municipal structures and its staff in engineering,
community mobilization, and in increasing transparency and accountability of finance and administration,
the Project will enable them to be responsive to access to national funds to be transferred from line
ministries to deliver and manage development projects in a technically effective and efficient manner.
UN-Habitat is supporting the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) to implement the
National Solidarity Programme (NSP). Currently UN-Habitat is directly engaged in facilitating this
programme in more than 20 districts of nine provinces. UN-Habitat is partner with the Ministry of
Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock to take up the role of Facilitating Partner in implementing the On-Farm
Water Management project in the establishment of irrigation associations in 2 provinces (Bamyan and
Nangarhar), out of five provinces covered by OFWM Project, and contributes in improving agricultural
productivity.
The Local Integration of Vulnerable and Excluded Uprooted People (LIVE-UP) programme is funded by the
European Union and operates for three years (1 January 2015 - 31 December 2017). The overarching

intention of the programme is to support the implementation of part of the National Policy on Internally
Displaced Persons in three Afghan cities: Herat, Jalalabad and Kabul. The programme will support
communities, local authorities and the central Government to achieve durable solutions for local
reintegration of returnees and IDPs through community empowerment, improved living conditions and
security of land tenure. The project also aims to strengthen the role and capacity of local authorities,
particularly Municipalities, to assist returnees, IDPs and other vulnerable urban dwellers with local
integration.
The Afghanistan Urban Peacebuilding Programme (AUPP) funded by Swiss Agency for Development and
Cooperation (SDC) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, operates for three years (1 April 2015 - 31 March
2018) predicated on the vital linkage between state-society relations, local government capacity, and basic
service provision in strengthening safety and security. It will provide direct assistance to the development
of state capacity at the sub-national level, focusing on municipal administrations in eight of the country’s
most strategic cities.
By concentrating on the urban terrain of peacebuilding and state building, the programme will strengthen
the production of public goods, especially security; improve local government responsiveness and
accountability; and strengthen partnerships with communities, civil society, and security providers,
contributing to collective efficacy– all of which are central peacebuilding and state building goals in the
New Deal. The programme complements the international community’s efforts to support a highly
centralized state building approach, with a bottom-up strategy that builds the state out from community
and subnational levels.
The expected impact of the AUPP is: "Women and men, girls and boys, in cities have increased trust in the
local government’s capacity to uphold rights, achieve safe, secure and inclusive cities, contributing to
improved government legitimacy".
Community-led Urban Infrastructure Programme (CLUIP) funded by Government of Japan, aims at securing
and stabilizing urban areas across 5 cities (Kabul, Mazar-e-Sharif, Kandahar, Herat and Jalalabad) with
partnership of Municipalities of Kabul, Mazar-e-Sharif, Kandahar, Herat and Jalalabad, Communities of
these cities and Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG) by responding to the urgent needs of
recently displaced people, demobilized combatants, and returnees through community empowerment,
enhancing their access to basic services, and improving their livelihoods thereby enabling them to live in
dignity. This Project comprises of the following three components:
Component 1: Upgrading of underserviced areas to avoid disillusions and frustrations and reduce the risk
that those households are falling back in illicit and insurgent activities through the establishment of
Community Development Councils (CDCs).
Component 2: Respond to the needs of larger areas compared through Gozar Assemblies (GAs). The GAs
will facilitate to build solidarity and sustainable peace in a cluster of CDCs by enhancing improved access
to basic infrastructure services considered by GAs as their top priorities.
Component 3: Implementation community empowerment programs for both men and women to assist
urban communities at CDC and GA level.
UN-Habitat rolls out a Municipal Governance Support Programme (MGSP), funded by EU in nine cities:
Kabul (the capital); Herat, Jalalabad, Kandahar, and Mazar-e-Sharif (Grade A cities); and Kunduz and Farah
(Grade B); and Bamyan and Nili[1] (smaller but fast-growing and strategic cities). The Programme will
support these nine municipal authorities to survey and register all properties within municipal boundaries
(for Kabul: one districts/Nahia). This will improve land management (e.g. increase tenure security and
reduce land grabbing) as well as significantly expand the potential tax base for municipalities. To facilitate
the strategic and sustainable use of local revenues, the Programme will support municipalities to
undertake strategic urban planning at municipal level to promote Local Economic Development (LED),
stimulate investment and expand inclusive service delivery. The process will be driven by local
stakeholders and focus on linking urban planning with finance (public and private investments) to ensure
plans are realistic and actually implemented. As Afghanistan is rapidly urbanizing, such strategic planning
is an essential tool for managing urban growth and expanding access to services in already crowded and
largely-informal cities.
The Programme will also improve the enabling environment for municipal governance by providing
technical support to central government-level authorities, including the General Directorate of Municipal
Affairs (GDMA), the Afghan Land Authority (ARAZI), and Ministry of Urban Development Affairs (MUDA), to
improve national policies, legislation and guidelines.
The Future of Afghan Cities (FoAC) which is being generously supported by the Government of Australia
and UK (DFID), will harness the opportunities, momentum and success of SoAC 2014/15 by providing
technical assistance to MUDA, IDLG/GDMA, Kabul Municipality, and the Afghan Land Authority (ARAZI) with
the preparation of the National Urban Priority Programme (U-NPP), and undertaking an assessment of five
key city regions of Kabul, Herat, Mazar, Kandahar and Jalalabad.
