Stakeholder Case Studies

The New Urban Agenda (NUA) recognizes that successful sustainable urban development requires the active engagement of all actors – including major groups and other stakeholders – both in terms of implementation, evaluation and reporting. 

Major groups and other stakeholders refer to women, children and youth, indigenous people, non-governmental organizations, local authorities, workers and trade unions, business and industry, scientific and technological community, farmers, academic institutions, professional associations, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations among other groups.

The role of major groups and other stakeholders in implementing the New Urban Agenda is crucial, as they bring diverse perspectives, expertise, and resources to the table. Also, their engagement in the periodic follow-up to and review of the Agenda through case studies can: 

  • Track progress, assess impact and ensure the Agenda’s effective and timely implementation, accountability to citizens and transparency, in an inclusive manner
  • Be an additional and complementary review to the voluntary national progress reporting of Member States on in which they analyze their progress in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda, and 
  • Aim at creating and reinforcing partnerships among all relevant stakeholders and fostering exchanges of urban solutions and mutual learning.

The Urban Agenda Platform supports this process by making Stakeholder Case Studies available.

2022 Global Stakeholder Consultations

We are proud to showcase case studies presented by stakeholders at The Global Stakeholder Consultations on the Implementation of the NUA and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) held virtually on April 4 and 5, 2022. These studies demonstrate how diverse partners respond to different topics aligned with the four main themes of the NUA: poverty, inequality and education; shared prosperity; environmental sustainability and resilience; and innovation, finance, technology, policy, and legislative change. 

A multi-stakeholder consultative approach was used to develop the New Urban Agenda. As a result, if we are to speed its implementation in advancing the 2030 Agenda, monitoring and reporting procedures must include all stakeholders,” Raf Tuts, Director of UN-Habitat’s Global Solutions Division told the audience. 

Moreover, the participants noted that the current trajectory of sustainable urban development presents both opportunities and challenges for countries as they advance the 2030 Agenda. Therefore, future consultative meetings with stakeholders will try to satisfy the need of action and commitment by partners to promote partnerships, build capacity, and provide data around stakeholder contributions in of the NUA.
