| Overview of position |
Organisational setting:
- The United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat), is the UN agency for human settlements. It is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially & environmentally sustainable town & cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. This post is located in the UN Habitat Regional Office for Asia & Pacific (ROAP) at the Kabul duty station.
UN-Habitat Afghanistan:
- UN-Habitat, has been working within Afghanistan since 1992 with funding support of USAID, Japanese & Australian Governments, EU, DFID, CIDA, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Kingdom of the Netherlands & several bilateral donors as well as the World Bank. During this period, its program expanded to include a wide range of human settlements initiatives, from small scale neighbourhood level improvement schemes to community empowerment.
- UN-Habitat has presence in 9 provinces of the country, including 5 major cities & works in implementing its strategy through 4 programmers namely Afghanistan Urban Safety & Security Program (AUSSP), Clean & Green Cities (CGC), City for All (K-SMNP & MGSP) & Sustainable Human Settlements in Urban Areas to Support Reintegration in Afghanistan (SHURA).
Sustainable Human Settlements in Urban Areas to Support Reintegration in Afghanistan (SHURA):
- The overarching intention of the Sustainable Human Settlements in Urban Areas to Support Reintegration in Afghanistan (SHURA) program is to provide a platform for returnees & protracted IDPs to reintegrate & become productive citizens of Afghanistan as quickly as possible. Integrating the lessons of the past decade of responses to displacement in Afghanistan, the program is based on the identification & allocation of appropriate land to returnees & IDPs in proximity to livelihood opportunities as the foundation for self reliance. Following the identification of sites, the settlement will be directed based on a comprehensive assessment of sites’ carrying capacity, economically, environmentally & socially.
- A land allocation process based on interim tenure arrangements will allow beneficiaries to occupy land with minimal delays & will form the basis for the subsequent allocation of land titles. Humanitarian assistance will be distributed in locations where returnees & IDPs have access to adequate opportunities to become self reliant & long term tenure security. Permanent development interventions to improve access to basic services & housing will be delivered in parallel with humanitarian assistance, augmenting self reliance, avoiding the creation of dependent ‘camps’ & bridging the humanitarian / development ‘gap’.
- The SHURA program thus seeks to provide a platform from which returnees & IDPs can be the driving force behind their own integration & development by becoming productive members of hosting areas.
