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 Urban
Indicators Programme, the BLP forms the Global
Urban Observatory (GUO), UN-Habitat’s
facility for monitoring global trends in sustainable urban development
and evaluating progress the implementation of the Habitat
Agenda and Agenda 21. 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.
