UN-HABITAT Communications Consultant Jobs in Kenya

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 towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. As the United Nations focal point on human settlements, UN-Habitat will lead advocacy efforts to raise awareness of sustainable urbanization issues; provide evidence-based policy advice; build capacities; develop tools, norms and standards based on best practices; work on demonstration projects and aid national Governments, local authorities, and other public institutions responsible for urban issues.

To enable it to respond to the challenges and opportunities of 21st Century cities and human settlement in a more holistic way, and to address one of the most significant areas of need in developing countries; UN Habitat has adopted a more strategic and integrated approach that is more systematic, going beyond addressing only the symptoms of malfunctioning urbanization.

It is integrated, rather than sectorial, transformative rather than fragmentary and links urbanization and human settlements to sustainable development by focusing on prosperity, livelihoods and employment.
