The World Urban Forum (WUF) is a non-legislative technical forum convened by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), and has been held since 2002. The Forum gathers a wide range of experts from every walk of life. Participants of the Forum include, but are not limited to, national, regional, and local governments, non-governmental organizations, community-based organizations, professionals, research institutions and academia, professionals, private sector, development finance institutions, foundations, media, United Nations organizations, and other international agencies.
The World Urban Forum presents an opportunity to further support UN-Habitat’s engagements in India. Under the supervision of the World Urban Forum Secretariat Coordinator, working guided by the Country Manager based in the Delhi, the consultant will carry out stakeholder-related mapping and research in India, and work through internal and external engagements to identify possible opportunities for engagements linked to WUF.
