1. Background
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, is the agency for human settlements. It is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. UN-Habitat has been a partner with the number of ministries at national and provincial levels, development partners, civil society organizations and academia.

UN-Habitat Pakistan Country Programme is aligned with the Pakistan United Nations Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDF 2023&ndash;2027), the One UN Programme (OP-III), and the UN-Habitat Strategic Plan 2020&ndash;2025. This alignment is reflected in its four-year plan, structured around four Domains of Change. One of these domains focuses on effective urban crisis prevention and response. This focus is also prioritized in the draft plan for 2026&ndash;2029, where &ldquo;prevention, recovery, and reconstruction after humanitarian crises&rdquo; is identified as one of UN-Habitat&rsquo;s key impact areas. Under this impact area, UN-Habitat supports countries and communities in developing disaster risk reduction and resilience strategies and action plans to minimize damage and losses in the context of rapidly growing urbanization.

UN-Habitat is committed to the transformative goal of &quot;Leaving No One Behind&quot; with focus on enhancing access to adequate housing and basic services to promote inclusive prosperity and eradicate poverty and signed an agreement of contribution with government of Netherlands to implement a project in the five cities (Haripur, Kohat, Peshawar, Karachi and Quetta) with Afghan refugee&rsquo;s concentration to empower and support both communities in selected settlements by promoting inclusive and sustainable urban development that prioritizes issues relating to housing and overcrowding, tenure insecurity, infrastructure, basic services and living conditions, economic opportunities, social cohesion and integration and improved living conditions, including preventing gender-based violence. Project activities include civil works, rehabilitation/construction of community infrastructure and, in accordance with the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (PEPA) 1997, relevant provincial environmental legislation, and IEE/EIA Regulations of the respective provincial Environmental Protection Agencies (EPAs), the project requires preparation of an Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE).
