**Responsibilities**:
Organizational Setting

UN-Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities. It is the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system.

Introduction

Urbanization is a key driver of development and cities are seen to be on the frontline of many of the global challenges the world is currently facing. In Egypt, 75% of the GDP is generated in urban areas and 80% of the jobs are in existing cities. However, unplanned, and imbalanced urbanization contributes strongly to inequalities and inefficient use of resources. 68 percent of the total population are living in three regions, Greater Cairo Region, Alexandria and Delta; representing 1.8 percent of Egypt’s total area, while 77 cities comprise 4 percent of the urban population.

In this context, the Greater Cairo Region (GCR) - being one of the world's largest and important metropolitan areas
- play a vital role as Egypt's political and economic capital, apart from being one of the largest urban agglomerations in the Arab world, Africa and the world. Its population of 20 million people is distributed over five governorates, i.e. Cairo, Giza, al-Qalubiyya.

In light of the State policy of achieving sustainable development and in recognition of the urban, political, social and economic role GCR plays, the General Organization of Physical Planning (GOPP), as the technical arm for the Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities (MoHUUC) prepared a long-term Strategic Development Vision for GCR. Under a technical cooperation agreement between UN-Habitat and the General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP), the vision aimed to achieve sustainable development through improving the quality of life for residents and increasing the competitiveness of the region. Following the created vision, the cooperation project ‘Strengthening Development Planning and Management in Greater Cairo’ was initiated in June 2016 in cooperation with the GOPP, and New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) as a representative of the MoHUUC and Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Egypt with UNDP and UN-Habitat; to ensure continued effective implementation of outcomes & results of the vision and to contribute effectively to the realization of priority projects.

The UN Policy brief “COVID-19 in an Urban World” emphasized that urban areas have become the epicenter of the pandemic with an estimated 90 percent of all reported COVID-19 cases. Simultaneously, the policy brief shows the opportunities that cities have that enable them to manage this crisis and emerge as hubs of energy and innovation leading sustainable response and recovery. Moreover, existing research shows that the COVID-19 crisis entails a great opportunity for planners and policy makers to take transformative actions towards creating cities that are more just and resilient and that supports healthy living and wellbeing. There is therefore a growing priority to supporting human settlements’ recovery to their added COVID related threats with their existing socio-economic and environmental vulnerabilities. Even though there has always been a focus on health in cities yet, due to the pandemic a need to focus on planning for healthy cities has increased significantly.

In 2021, UN-Habitat published the report “Cities and Pandemics: Towards a More Just, Green and Healthy Future” to promote rethinking the urban space from both health and ecology perspectives.

In this context, this task builds on the identified vision for GCR to ensure post COVID recommendations and tools for healthy cities are developed, piloted and showcased as a part of the GOPP mandate to promote healthy cities in Egypt. It aims to adopt the planning guidelines and criteria in a pilot Study area in Greater Cairo region. The Study area will be selected based on its potential to become a Study for a healthy city based on the guideline developed, which can be scaled-up to the city level. As such the area that will be selected will ideally encompass diversity of land use, social composition and economic activities including green spaces, recreational areas, and public services.

The intervention area is approximately 4.2 km2 (1000 feddans) located in Greate

The main goal of the project is to launch an expanded Healthy Cities Programme in the UN-Habitat’s Arab States and WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean regions with expanded, green-based urban health indicators aligned to WHO and UN-Habitat frameworks.

The new indicators will be tested in two pilot cities, Tunis, Tunisia and Manama, Bahrain through a needs assessment conducted with the local government and partners to identify gaps and opportunities based on the expanded indicators.

Pilot interventions will be implemented, and resource mobilization events organized in each city.

**Responsibilities**:
Organizational Setting

UN-Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities. It is the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system.

Background and Justification
Urban areas were the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic with an estimated 90 percent of all reported infections. The Arab region was additionally hit hard by the socio-economic consequences of the outbreak. The impact of COVID-19 further exacerbated existing vulnerabilities in the region including gender, urban and economic inequalities.

The United Nations Secretary-General policy brief on the impact of COVID-19 on the Arab Region, produced in 2020, stated that the consequences of the pandemic are likely to be long-lasting. The report expected the region’s economy to contract by 5.7 percent, and the economies of some conflict countries were projected to shrink by as much as 13 percent, amounting to an overall loss of US$ 152 billion. These economic setbacks have a direct impact on the region’s path towards achieving sustainable urbanization and advancing the issues of urban health. Especially when taking into consideration the pressing urban health and climate induced issues the region was facing prior to the pandemic.

Therefore, the COVID-19 shock calls for a stronger focus and increased investments in urban health and climate change to increase the resilience of cities. Furthermore, the response to the COVID- 19 crisis can also be used to address some of the long-standing structural weaknesses in the region, notably to build back better in line with the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development through stronger support to local authorities.

WHO’s Healthy Cities Programme is a well-established initiative which has been running for the last 30 years. After recent developments, where our urban world was faced with the danger of pandemics and the effect of natural disasters on urban communities, it has become more relevant than ever as an important mechanism to address the public health challenges of the 21st century. These recent developments provide a timely opportunity to integrate, expand and compliment the green urban indicators to the healthy cities initiative and formulate green based indicators that help create implementable initiatives to mitigate the climate change impacts that are harmful to public health in addition to creating enabling environments for promoting health and wellbeing.

WHO and UN-Habitat have a global MoU emphasizing their commitment to promote health and wellbeing in urban settings. At the regional level, WHO EMRO and UN-Habitat ROAS have agreed to expand and scale-up the Healthy Cities Programme by developing a wider set of green urban indicators aligned to WHO and UN-Habitat frameworks to include within the Healthy Cities Programme related indicators and domains to be used for co-awarding to cities in the region who fulfill the criteria.

Reporting Line
The Technical Consultant will work with a joint programme team led by Programme Officer, UN-Habitat ROAS, Regional Adviser Health Promotion and Social Determinants of Health, WHO EMRO

The consultant will be working under the overall supervision of UN-Habitat’s Regional Representative for Arab States and the Director of the Division of Healthier Populations at WHO EMRO. He/she will engage on a regular basis with relevant institutions, partners, researchers and academics to ensure state-of-the-art research and use of data and information.
