Through its regional offices in Africa, the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the
Caribbean, the UMP seeks to strengthen urban management by harnessing the skills and strategies of
networks of regional experts, communities and organizations in the public and private sectors. The goal of
the Programme is to strengthen this local and regional expertise.
n City and Country Consultations. The UMP brings together national and local authorities, the private
sector, community representatives, and other actors within a country to discuss specific problems
within the UMPs subject areas and to propose reasoned solutions. Consultations are held solely
at the request of a developing country and often provide a forum for discussion of a cross-section of
issues generally resulting in a concrete action plan for policy programme change.
n Technical Cooperation. The UMP uses its regional networks of expertise to sustain follow-up to the
consultations by providing technical advice and cooperation to facilitate the implementation of action
plans and to mobilise the resources needed for their implementation.
Through its Core Teams in Nairobi and Washington, D.C., the UMP supports the regional programmes and
networks by synthesising lessons learned, conducting state-of-the-art research, identifying best practices,
and disseminating programme-related materials.
The UMP Dissemination
The UMP produces a number of publications which present the findings of specific research activities,
summarize the results of case studies, research, and the insights and broad recommendations developed
under the work of the UMP to date, and illustrate instruments, techniques, or procedures, the UMP has
found useful in addressing the issues surrounding the five components.
