Cuba has assumed its commitment to promote the NUA to advance with environmental, economic, social and cultural equality towards universal access to adequate housing and quality urban infrastructure, increase the resilience and sustainability of human settlements, paying special attention to the adverse effects of climate change. Based on the environmental, economic, social, demographic and political characteristics and conditions, the implementation of the NUA is aimed at determining the relevant and priority actions that consolidate cities and human settlements as drivers of sustainable development.

Cuba, as a State committed to achieving a sustainable urban development leaving nobody behind, coordinated the drafting of this report through the Institute of Physical Planning (IPF), the national entity under the Council of Ministers (highest government organs) that guides territorial and urban planning in the country and is in charge of the implementation of the NUA, presiding the National Habitat Committee (NHC)  and coordinating the National Urban Forum (NUF). 
The report was prepared with the participation of the State Central Administration Organisms (OACE), national entities and their divisions, local governments, the academia and civil society organizations, all of which have been involved since 2016 in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda in Cuba (NAUC).
Through a participatory, analytical and consultative process, qualitative and quantitative information was contributed on the progress of the implementation of the New Urban Agenda in Cuba, in order to prepare this report.

L’année 2015 a été marquée par l’adoption de l’agenda 2063 « l’Afrique que nous voulons » et du Programme mondial pour le développement durable à l’horizon 2030. En octobre 2016 à Quito, le monde a adopté le Nouveau Programme pour les Villes dans le cadre de la Conférence des Nations Unies sur le Logement et le Développement Urbain, dénommée « HABITAT III ». 
Chaque pays avait alors la latitude de s’organiser pour la mise en oeuvre de ces agendas en tenant compte de son contexte et de ses spécificités. 
Dans cette perspective, le Gouvernement entend renouveler son engagement en faveur des ODD, à travers l’élaboration d’une contribution nationale volontaire sur la mise en oeuvre de l’ODD 11 et du Nouveau Programme pour les Villes, à l’Assemblée Générale des Nations-Unies qui aura lieu le 28 avril 2022 à New-York. 
La méthodologique ayant encadré la préparation de la participation du Cameroun à cette importante rencontre s’est déclinée en quatre principales phases : 
-    la mise en place d’une équipe de coordination du processus ; 
-    la revue documentaire et la collecte des données et informations sur l’état de mise en oeuvre de l’ODD11 et de l’agenda 2036 ; 
-    la production du rapport ; 
-    la validation du rapport.

The report was compiled by a team comprising of officials from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing Development, Ministry of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services, Statistics Botswana, Gaborone City Council and City of Francistown Council. It draws from stakeholder submissions on the implementation of respective laws, policies, programmes, strategies and initiatives towards implementation of the New Urban Agenda. It details achievements, challenges and strategies on broad dimensions of the NUA, which include transformative commitments on social inclusion, and ending poverty, sustainable and inclusive urban prosperity, environmental sustainability and resilient urban development, implementation structures and framework as well as and mechanisms for continuous monitoring, follow up and review.
