Setting and Reporting The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities. UN-Habitat is the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system. UN-Habitat works with partners to build inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and communities. UN-Habitat promotes urbanization as a positive transformative force for people and communities, reducing inequality, discrimination and poverty. The organization operates in more than 90 countries around the world and manages a wide range of projects and programs. With regard to its wide portfolio, UN-Habitat, is progressively strengthening its presence in the São Tome and Príncipe and has developed a strategy aimed at contributing to the development of an urban and housing policy, developed in coordination with the national spatial planning framework, waste management and disaster risk reduction. This objective is broken down into two (02) priority axis: (i) Controlled urbanization, housing, and better distribution of activities in the territory; (ii) Climate change and strengthening resilience in communities. The country program of cooperation between UN-Habitat and Angola is based on the major challenges of the Sustainable Development Goals, on the guidelines adopted within the framework of the New Urban Agenda (NUA) and on the African Union's Agenda 2063. UN-Habitat’s interventions in Angola are yet to be operationalized, but they aim to focus on sustainable urbanization, housing, climate change, improved livelihoods, community resilience, Slum upgrading, waste management, Local/Regional Government, and decentralization. Angola's urban population is predominantly concentrated in major cities, with the capital, Luanda, alone hosting over 8 million inhabitants—nearly a third of the country's total population. Other significant urban centers include Benguela, Huambo, and Lubango, which are experiencing rapid growth due to rural-to-urban migration and natural population increase. With a total population estimated at over 36 million, approximately 67% reside in urban areas. UN-Habitat collaborates with Angola to promote sustainable and inclusive urban development through initiatives like the Participatory Slum Upgrading Programme (PSUP). The government is also in the process of formulating a National Urban Development Policy to align with the National Development Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF). To support the implementation of its interventions, contributing to the development of an urban and housing policy, developed in coordination with the national spatial planning framework, solid waste management, and disaster risk reduction.
