Housing and Urban Management Advisory Network

The Housing and Urban Management Advisory Network (HUMAN) was established by the UNECE Committee on Housing and Land Management in September 1997.  It is an advisory network consisting of experts from the private sector, non-governmental organizations, professional associations, research institutions and local authorities.  Its objective is to work with the Committee on Housing and Land Management and its Bureau, to advise on strategies and projects, to act as a link to the institutions, organizations and the business community and also to assist in program implementation.

The Network's progress of work is presented and evaluated at each Annual Session of the Committee on Housing and Land Management.

The Committee recognizes that the Network provides valuable contributions to the operational activities and support to the program of work, strengthens the cooperation with the local authorities and NGOs and facilitates the practical cooperation with the business community.

The activities of the Housing and Urban Management Advisory Network are in line with the UNECE recommendations and the provisions of the Habitat Agenda on involving the business community, NGOs, local authorities in human settlements policy formulation and implementation.

For the membership and projects of the Advisory Network, please see the report of the latest session of the Committee.
