</b></p><p>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.</p>

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, <i>structured around</i> 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.

</b></p><p>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.</p>
<p>
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, <i>structured around</i> 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.
