UN-Habitat 2018-2020: Promote Sustainable cities UN-Habitat 2018-2020: Promote Sustainable cities Support to the Implementation of the UN-Habitat Country Programme for Ethiopia will strive to improve the state of Ethiopian cities and thereby the urban livelihood by supporting the Government of Ethiopia in implementing the urban component of GTP II in alignment with the SDG 11 and the New Urban Agenda, as part of the UN-Habitat Country Programme for Ethiopia 2016-2020. Specifically the project will focus on  selected cities of Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Adama, Dire Dawa, Hawassa and Mekele) and some regions (Amhara, SNNP and Tigray) in being better planned, more economically productive and sustainable, socially inclusive and environmentally resilient, taking maximum advantage of the on-going development of industrial parks. Support to the Implementation of the UN-Habitat Country Programme for Ethiopia: Stöd till genomförandet av FN-habitatprogrammet för Etiopien kommer att sträva efter att förbättra de etiopiska städernas stad och därmed städernas försörjning genom att stödja Etiopiens regering för att genomföra stadsdelen i GTP II i linje med SDG 11 och den nya Urban Agenda, som en del av FN-habitatprogrammet för Etiopien 2016-2020. Specifikt kommer projektet att fokusera på utvalda städer i Etiopien (Addis Abeba, Adama, Dire Dawa, Hawassa och Mekele) och vissa regioner (Amhara, SNNP och Tigray) att vara bättre planerande, med effektiv avfallshanteringsamt mer ekonomiskt produtiva och hållbara, social  inkluderade och miljöhärdiga, samt maximalt utnyttja den pågående utvecklingen av industriparker. Ett kompletterande stöd är det globala stödet via SKL ( Sveriges kommuner och landsting) till urban planering, The proposed intervention aims to improve the state of Ethiopian cities and thereby the urban livelihood by supporting the Government of Ethiopia in implementing the urban component of GTP II in alignment with the SDG 11 and the New Urban Agenda, as part of the UN-Habitat Country Programme for Ethiopia 2016-2020.

At the end the intervention the following major results will be achieved;
Result 1: City leadership skills are reinforced to enable mayors and city managers to better face the daily challenges of rapid urbanization in their respective cities and towns
Result 2: Cities concerned by the development of industrial parks such as Addis Ababa, Hawassa and Mekele, and the SNNP regional state, are able to proactively manage the urban development effects of these parks by enhancing integrated urban/metropolitan planning.
Result 3: Municipal staff, communities and local stakeholders of Addis Ababa, Adama and Dire Dawa better understand human-induced and environmental risks and have identified priority actions for building urban resilience.
Result 4: Coordination among urban agenda implementing partners in Ethiopia is enhanced.
