The United Nations Human Settlements
Programme, UN-Habitat, is the United Nations
agency mandated by the UN General Assembly to
promote socially and environmentally sustainable
towns and cities with the goal of providing
adequate shelter for all�
In 2015, the General Assembly adopted the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that
includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs)� Building on the principle of “leaving
no one behind”, the SDGs emphasize a holistic
approach to achieving sustainable development
for all�
The New Urban Agenda (NUA) committed
leaders from all the nations to promote inclusive,
sustainable urbanization, to ‘Ensure that all
citizens have access to equal opportunities
and face no discrimination�’ The NUA calls
upon leaders to take into account the need of
vulnerable groups, including ‘Women, Youth,
children, people with disabilities, marginalized
groups, older persons, indigenous people, among
other groups�’
Implementing National Urban Policies (NUP) is one
of the five key pillars for implementing the NUA,
where National States commit to “Establish
legal and policy frameworks, based on the
principles of equality and non-discrimination,
to enhance the ability of Governments
to effectively implement National Urban
Policies, as appropriate, and to empower
them as policymakers and decision makers,
ensuring appropriate fiscal, political and
administrative decentralization based on the
principle of subsidiarity�” (NUA paragraph 89)
UN-Habitat has been supporting countries develop
National Urban Policies (NUP) for many years� The
Agency is currently helping 41 countries develop
National Urban Policies� UN-Habitat´s work on
gender equality in cities is closely in conjunction
with women and women´s organizations, ensuring
that women have a strong voice in policies and
programmes that affect them�
UN-Habitat, with the support of The Andalusian
Agency of International Cooperation for
Development (AACID), has developed several
worstreams related to sustainable urban
development� Particularly in relation to the
National Urban Policy Programme, AACID has
provided support for the development of the
National Urban Policy of Cuba, and will be
supporting UN-Habitat for the development of
National Urban Policies in Senegal and Burkina
faso in 2019�

Despite economic growth and development across
the world, inequalities continue to grow in cities,
not only between rich and poor, but between
men and women, young and old, majorities and
minorities� This is present across the globe and
Bolivia is no exception�
Women, youth and other marginalised groups
continue to face significant barriers to opportunities
in cities� These groups face challenges related to
safety, poor access to public transport, unequal
use of public space, poor security of tenure,
and limited access to economic opportunity
undermine their ability to actively participate in
their communities and policy making�
Cities offer opportunity to address inequalities,
by improving access to housing, public space,
basic services and mobility� These are not only
basic human rights, they also facilitate access
to education, employment and independence�
Cities also offer a major opportunity to empower
communities and different groups� Cities have
historically been the places of social change and
are now the centres of economic growth� This dual
role presents an opportunity to address inequality�
Bolivia has become a predominantly urban country
over the last few decades� According to UN data,
67,5% of its population lives in cities� This is a
major fact for a country that was perceived as
rural up until recently� Nevertheless, this figure
is below the average percentage of urban
population in the Latin American region (around
80%) which gives Bolivia the opportunity to utilise
the coming urbanisation process to foster social
development and create conditions for a better
life its population� Bolivia expects to reach 80% of
its population living in cities by 2030�
The urbanisation process has come with
opportunities in terms of jobs and access to
services helping in the country’s great efforts to
fight poverty but also with challenges� Bolivia
continues to have jobs that offer income below
the poverty line� This problem is particularly
distinguishable among the young population,
90% of whom do not have a formal contract
(permanent or temporary)� Youth unemployment
affects women more than men� A large part of
the population in Bolivia is indigenous� 41% of
the population identify themselves as a part of
one of the 36 indigenous nations� These nations
are distributed among the nine Departments of
Bolivia all in rural areas and in urban centres�
The Bolivian Constitution supports values of
equality, inclusion, complementarity, equal
opportunities, social equity and gender� It
incorporates the equality of conditions between
men and women, and prohibits all forms of
discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, among
others� In order to guarantee gender equality,
the main concerns are the high prevalence of
different forms of violence and femicide, the
persistent high rates of maternal mortality, the
increase in the number of pregnancies among
girls and adolescents, the labour inclusion and
working conditions, and the disadvantages and
the constant segregation of women in labour
markets� It is essential to take into account these
elements for the development of a public policy
that will guarantee spaces for inclusion and
free of violence for women and other groups in
vulnerable situations�
Addressing inclusion is a high priority of the
Government of Bolivia and is a central pillar of
the UN-Habitat programme in Bolivia� Therefore,
the EGM will contribute to the ongoing work on
social inclusion and human rights in Bolivian cities�
The UN-Habitat Programme in Bolivia aims to
enhance the capacity of the government through
all instruments of the National Urban Policy,

to monitor and use quality information in the
situation analysis for decision-making, adequate
planning and implementation of legislation,
effective policies and programmes, ensuring
rights and equality among all inhabitants, taking
into account gender issues and inclusion of youth
and other identified vulnerable groups�

This report summarizes the Expert Group Meeting
(EGM), supported by the Andalusian Agency
of International Cooperation for Development
(AACID), and the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), and
hosted by the Bolivian Vice-Ministry of Housing
and Urbanism (VMVU) and the Association of
Municipalities of Bolivia� The event took place
over the course of two days, April 25 and 26th
2019 in Cochabamba, Bolivia�
The meeting brought together a diverse group
of eight international experts from: Peru,
Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Canada, Jordan,
Bangladesh and Kenya, with around 20 national
participants, representing older persons, persons
with disability, indigenous persons, women, LGBT,
youth, children and policymakers (see participant
list in Annex)�
The EGM was designed with four key aspirations:
• Bring people’s voices to national urban policy making processes and engage citizens in the process;
• Build the urban and policy capacity of citizens to be part of national urban policies process;
• Develop the Bolivian National Urban Policy into a people centered policy;
• Develop a National Urban Policy tool to promote inclusion, incorporating all social
inclusion dimensions�
The aspirations follow: the New Urban Agenda
mandates, the framework of the National Urban
Policy Pillars and consider the UN-Habitat Strategic
framework�
Thus, the objectives of the EGM were to:
• Highlight best practice in Socially Inclusive National Urban Policies; review the Quick Guide for Socially Inclusive National Urban Policies and deliver key messages for policy makers for advocacy work at global levels on Socially Inclusive NUPs;
• Enhance exchange of knowledge and tools for empowering women, youth and marginalized groups, and foster networking among different working groups to build sustainable, equal and inclusive cities;
• Provide recommendations for the development of an inclusive Bolivian National Urban Policy, and use the Bolivia NUP as a model of inspiring practice in socially inclusive
NUPs�

Open Youth Forum The event started with an Open Youth forum at the
“Universidad Mayor de San Simon” on April 24th� The
forum was an opportunity for the youth to highlight
their priorities and demonstrate their potential
to contribute to sustainable urban development�
According to data from the Bolivian National Institute
of Statistics, in 2018, the number of children between
0 and 29 years of age reached 6,679,276, equal to
59% of the population (percentage of the highest
youth population in the history of Bolivia); Of the
total, 66% resided in urban areas�
The objective of the Open forum was to have an open
space for a participatory and pro-active dialogue with
children, adolescents and youth (NNAJ), towards the
construction of the Bolivia National Urban Policy� The
event was organized by the Interagency Group for
Adolescents and Youth of the United Nations System�
The same took place in the city of Cochabamba, in
the facilities of the faculty of Architecture of the
Mayo University of San Simón�
The event had a participation of 260 adolescents and
young people from public and private universities,
schools, working children, homeless young people,
representatives of the LGBT+ community, among
others� The first approximation was made to the
central issues of urbanization, detected from the
NNAJ, as well as proposals and possible solutions
having Bolivian youth as agents of change, towards
more inclusive, safe and resilient cities� See Box 1
for the identification of the youth responsibilities�
The young women and men prioritized the
following topics as the most important:
• Security
• family disintegration
• Poverty
• Urban planning
Figure 2 Youth Presentation at the Universidad Mayor de San Simon, Cochabamba Bolivia © UN-Habitat
Regarding each of the topics discussed the youth identified the main problems and solutions� for urban
planning the youth identified:
Main problems: Accelerated growth of cities; Lack of planning; Invasion of agricultural spaces
(urbanization) and lack of urban mobility system planning�
Main Solutions: Strengthen territorial planning mechanisms by districts and municipalities; Vehicle
restriction programs; Improvement of roads; train; Interprovincial planning

global mandates and the work on National Urban
Policy (including global frameworks and country
support); (2) to build capacity on tools, and cases
where social inclusion challenges were addressed

Day 1 - Morning session
Presentation: UN-Habitat’s approach to Socially
inclusive National Urban Policy
The first presentation “Socially Inclusive National
Urban Policies” by Remy Sietchiping, leader of
the Regional and Metropolitan Planning Unit (UN-
Habitat Headquarters) had two main sections;
the first section focused on UN-Habitat`s role and
mandate for sustainable development, including
information about global trends of urbanization,
and the global agendas (the Sustainable
Development Goals, and the New Urban Agenda);
and the second focused on UN-Habitat´s approach
to Socially inclusive National Urban Policies (NUP)
as an instrumental tool to build sustainable and
socially inclusive cities for all, and that it aims
to: Reduce inequalities, promote an inclusive
participation, equality and it has a human right
based approach�
The presentation achieved a common
understanding of the National Urban Policies
approach� It covered; what is a National Urban
Policy, which countries are or have undertaken
a NUP process, what are the main drivers for
countries in their NUP, how NUP are a pro-people
process and, how a NUP can help you achieve
a common vision for urbanization and this gets
reflected in inclusive urban development� The
presentation also highlighted the connection
between social inclusion challenges, NUP and the
global agendas which provided an overall picture
on the concept�
Mr� Remy Sietchiping emphasized the importance
of social inclusion and mentioned as one of the
key principles of NUP “leave no one behind”� He
highlighted NUP are a pro-people process that
contributes to increase opportunities for all, aims
to reduce inequalities and enhance equity� He also
underscored that NUP as a territorial approach
aims to “Leave no space or territory behind” and
respect, protect and fulfil human rights�

Working groups
The working groups where divided into the
different social groups represented in the EGM:
Older persons, People with disabilities, Gender,
Multicultural, Youth, teenagers & children,
and LGBTQ+� Each working group had around
10 national and 2 internationals participants�
However, it was acknowledged that each person
does not necessarily fall under one category� The
main reason of dividing the participants into groups
was to ensure everyone had the opportunity
to share their ideas and concerns towards an
inclusive urban development� Discussions where
moderated by the international participants�
The working session was divided into two, the
first one focused on identifying challenges and
indicators from the different perspectives and
the second one focused on identifying tools
and methodologies to make our cities inclusive
for all� The overall objectives from the working
groups were to generate consensus and common
understanding of challenges and consider them
as urbanization opportunities�
Figure 3 Older Persons working group, Increasing Social Inclusion in NUP EGM, Cochabamba Bolivia © UN-Habitat
The groups allowed everyone to participate and
have a voice� Discussion started with “What
makes an inclusive city?” The debate suggested
indicators that make our cities inclusive to all�
Each participant shared their view and jointly
within the group all concepts where prioritized
according to their necessities to feel fully included
on cities (see Box 2 for the prioritized concepts)�
There were common concepts across the groups
such as “a city without discrimination”, “a city
with the right to land and housing” or other
indicators related to transport, mobility, public
space, participatory mechanisms, among others
(see Box 2)� Common concepts from all of the
different discussions were further debated during
the Plenary at the end of day one�

General Analysis and mainstreaming of Accessibility and Universal Design Concepts into the National Public Trans-
port Plan of the Republic of Ecuador
The project analysed the current status of accessibility, use of universal design and concepts for persons with disabilities in the
ground transportation systems of Ecuador� This included the physical state of transportation, the legal framework, and Public
Administration processes� The aim of this study was to contribute to the development of the National Plan of Urban Mobility in
Ecuador�
The expected results from this study are the creation of national and local strategies involving the parameters of universal design
and accessibility into Ecuadorian mobility strategies, policies, plans, programs, and projects�
The National Plan under development by the Ministry of Transport and Public Works encompass an axis of inclusive transport
involving, in the urban context, barrier- free in the pedestrian and motorized displacement (route chain) as a basic framework
for accessible transportation� The recommendations provided are designed to help reduce the deficits and create truly accessible
cities�

• Maria del Pilar, Colombia National Policy for the Colombian system of cities
• Myriam Ababsa, Jordan NUP
Moderator: Javier Zarete, UN-Habitat Bolivia�
Key questions:
1� What are the main inclusion challenges in your context?

4� Lessons learned from the process?
Figure 8 Panel discussion: Socially Inclusive National Urban Policies © UN-Habitat
The challenges faced in each country provided
diverse situations for NUP development� In Jordan the
inclusion of refugees in urban development is a major
challenges, whilst in Colombia rural-urban disparities
are a major concern� In Argentina, the National Urban
Policy is seeking to challenges gender inequalities�
The panel was an opportunity to understand how a
NUP policy process had incorporated social inclusion
challenges; In the case of Argentina through a clear
path line across Policy Principles – Policy pillars – Policy
Guidelines; The case of Colombia through identifying
6 policy implementation strategies that align to
all the policy objectives including the objective on
reducing social gaps and improve equity in urban and
rural areas of the city: and the case of Jordan which
is in the diagnosis stage on the relationship between
challenge identification and the existing projects/
programs� Also, the panellist shared the NUP lessons
learnt towards a better a Socially Inclusive NUP,
including the importance of participation across the
process and of using urbanization as an advantage
(for further information on the policies see Box 7)�

Box 7. National Urban policies from speakers
(based on panel discussion and case study shared)
Argentina National Urban PolicyNational Policy for the Colombi-
an City SystemJordan National Urban Policy
Challenges
• Imbalanced regional development
strategy, to encourage functional
relationships between large cities,
metropolitan areas and intermediate
cities�
• Lack of participation mechanisms
• Safety in public spaces and
transportation
• Limited and gender unbalanced
economic development
The Policy
Has as one of its six principles: Equity on
access to the city� NUP has eight pillars,
as one of them is: Empowerment of
the Community� Argentina NUP establish
guidelines to follow and achieve the axis:
L17: Incorporate the perspective of
gender and cultural diversity as a
transversal axis in urban planning,
legislation and territorial economic
development�
L18: Generate spaces for citizen
participation in decision-making
processes�
Lessons Learnt
NUP Participation is a strong pillar;
National Urban forums are a key
element to achieve good participation,
communication and feedback collection
of outputs and process is also essential
Challenges
• Social gaps in housing,
mobility and urban economic
development between urban
agglomerations�
• Disarticulated territorial planning
• Physical and digital connectivity
between cities is insufficient
• Limitations on the productive
growth of cities
• Limitations in improving the
quality of life in cities
• Disarticulation between
investment and financing and
the needs of cities
• Interinstitutional de-coordination
to face the challenges of
urbanization
The policy
Has as one of its objectives: Reduce
social gaps and improve equity in
urban and rural areas of the City
System�
The policy has 6 implementation
strategies;
1� Planning with Sustainable Vision;
2� Interjurisdictional coordination; 3�
Efficient financing; 4� Connectivity;
5� Productivity; 5� Quality of life�
Lessons learnt
Taking advantage of the benefits of
urbanization and agglomeration,
and a new approach to public
action based on the territorial
dimension
Challenges
• Gender inequality in land, housing and
property
• Social inequalities with high disparities
between informal areas developed
around Palestinian camps
• High population densities�
• Housing crisis with overcrowding�
• Lack of public transportation;
• Lack of green areas�
The policy
One of the NUP guiding principles is: Social
and economic inclusivity (local economic
development, economic opportunities and
potentialities, gender, social-mix, equity,
culture and conviviality�
The Jordan NUP is currently in a Diagnosis
phase that had identified urban trends,
challenges and also, has identified
implemented projects and strategies that
had worked towards social inclusion issues�
An example: Urban Growth Scenarios
and Sustainable Urban Expansion for the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan� And other
participatory mechanisms�
Lessons learnt
(from the Urban Growth Scenarios)
Jordan must find ways to include land
value capture mechanisms to limit urban
sprawl� Compact growth would reduce
infrastructure costs and improve Social
inclusion�

Cities for All in Bolivia
Cochabamba, April 2019
UN-Habitat recently held an Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on ‘Socially Inclusive National Urban Policies’
in Cochabamba, Bolivia� The meeting brought together a diverse group of international experts from
all regions and 50 National Participants, representing older persons, persons with disability, indigenous,
women, LGBT, youth, children and policy-makers�
The Event started with an Open Youth forum at the “Universidad Mayor de San Simon”, for youth to
highlight their priorities and demonstrate their potential to contribute to sustainable urban development�
The forum and the first day of the EGM tackled questions such as “What makes an inclusive city?”,
“What are the main challenges experienced while living in urban or rural areas?”, “What are the tools
available to make human settlements inclusive for all?” and “What are the Principles a National Urban
Policy has to consider to achieve an inclusive policy process and have impact on peoples life regarding
inclusion?”�
Discussions were an opportunity for all participants to engage and to present the challenges, solutions
and ideas of the components that make a human settlement, a policy process and implementation to be
socially inclusive� The first day main conclusion, as observed by Douglas Ragan, Chief of the UN-Habitat
Youth Unit, was that “… We all experience life in human settlements in different ways and we all
have different necessities� However, we are all mentioning the same key areas for improvement: Public
Space, Transport, Housing, Data available, Participation and Capacity building�” Day Two translated
these conclusions into Key Global Urban Policy Principles and recommendations to the Bolivia Urban
Policy�
The Event concluded with Key Recommendations for the Bolivian Government to ensure inclusion in
their cities, as UN-Habitat continues to support the development of the Bolivian National Urban Policy�
The EGM was a major contribution to the ‘Guide to Socially Inclusive NUP’ which will be released
following revisions from the experts present�
