 The Reference Group has made excellent progress this year in implementing the IASC Strategy and Action Plan for Meeting Humanitarian Challenges in Urban Areas. Meetings
of the RG MHCUA, chaired initially by UN-HABITAT and subsequently co-chaired with
UNFPA, were regular and well-attended with the active participation of implementing
agencies as well as global cluster, NGO and other IASC subsidiary bodies’ representatives.
The RG served as an effective platform of a community of urban practitioners for peer
reviews of products developed by agencies implementing the MHCUA Action Plan.
