Ambassador Sianga Abílio represented the Republic of Angola at the 3rd session of 2023 of the Executive Board of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), which took place at the United Nations complex in Nairobi from 28 to 30 November 2023.
At that working session the 36 Member States of UN-HABITAT's Executive Board, including Angola, addressed various issues linked to the global policy of sustainable human settlements with the emphasis on issues relating to UN-Habitat's normative and operational activities, its financial, budgetary and administrative situation and the preparation of UN-Habitat's strategic plan for 2026-2029.
Over the course of three days, delegates to the third session of 2023 of the UN-Habitat Executive Board also considered the report by UN-Habitat's Executive Director, Ms. Maimunah Mohd Sharif, on the analysis of the main obstacles to the implementation of the New Urban Agenda by Member States and assessed preparations for the twelfth session of the World Urban Forum, which will take place in November 2024 in Cairo, Egypt.
The Executive Board of UN-HABITAT, whose Bureau is chaired by Brazil, is the body responsible for approving the Work Plans and Budget, as well as monitoring the implementation of the decisions of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
Angola has been a member of the UN-Habitat Executive Board since June 2019 and will continue to be a member of this decision-making body until 2025, having had its mandate extended in June 2023 for a further two years.
