The High Level Meeting of the General Assembly on the effective implementation of the New Urban Agenda, and the positioning of UN-Habitat in this regard, will take place in New York September 5-6.<\/p>\n<p>The report also comes in the context of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres\u2019 system-wide review of the entire UN Development System, and the call by member states for a UN that is more transparent, accountable, effective, and nimble.<\/p>\n<p>UN-Habitat is glad to be among the first UN entities to enjoy this scrutiny, and looks forward to actively contributing to the forthcoming process in the months to come. The organization commends the stewardship of the UN Secretary-General in welcoming the report, and thanks the Panel members for their professionalism and hard work over many months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/un-habitat-welcomes-high-level-panel-report\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In that context, the report recognises that UN-Habitat\u2019s work is much sought after by donors and &hellip; <a title=\"UN-Habitat welcomes high-level panel report\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/un-habitat-welcomes-high-level-panel-report\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">UN-Habitat welcomes high-level panel report<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5726,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[41],"class_list":["post-5725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-property"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UN-HABITAT.jpg?fit=1200%2C674&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6077,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/africa-rejects-un-habitat-reform-new-agency-to-tackle-global-urbanisation\/","url_meta":{"origin":5725,"position":0},"title":"Africa rejects UN-Habitat reform, new agency to tackle global urbanisation","author":"Amazing Property","date":"September 4, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"U.\u202fN.
