WELCOME
The Best Practices and Local Leadership Programme
(BLP) is a global network of institutions dedicated to the identification
and exchange of successful solutions for sustainable development.
The BLP partners' network identifies initiatives in such
areas as housing, urban development and governance, the environment,
economic development, social inclusion, crime prevention, poverty
reduction, women, youth, infrastructure and social services.
Every two years, up to 10 outstanding initiatives
receive the Dubai International Award for Best Practices
to Improve the Living Environment, a biennial environmental award
established in 1995 by the Municipality of Dubai,
United Arab Emirates. Those initiatives meeting the criteria for a
Best Practice are included in the Best Practices database.
The lessons learned from selected best practices are analysed in case
studies and guides and transferred to other countries,
cities or communities.
Together with the Global Urban Observatory (GUO), BLP forms
UN-HABITAT's facility for monitoring global trends in sustainable
urban development and evaluating progress the implementation of the
Habitat Agenda, Agenda 21, and the MDGs. The policy implications and
lessons learned from Best Practices are incorporated into Habitat's
State of the World's Cities Report series and the Global Report on
Human Settlements.
