Solicitation of Expressions of Interest
Habitat III Policy Unit Technical Experts and Co-Leading Organizations

The United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) will be held in Quito, Ecuador from October 17 - 20, 2016. As part of the preparatory process for this event, the Secretary-General of Habitat III is seeking technical experts to serve as members of ten policy units, as well as organizations to co-lead those policy units. The issues discussed by the policy units will serve as technical input for Member States' consideration in the preparation of the New Urban Agenda. A list and descriptions of the policy units can be found on the Habitat III website.

HUD is soliciting expressions of interest from both qualified technical experts wishing to serve on the policy units and from organizations wishing to co-lead the policy units, which it will forward to Habitat III for consideration. The Habitat III Secretariat will make all decisions regarding the appointment of technical experts to policy units and the selection of co-leading organizations. All expressions of interest must be submitted to HUD by close of business on Thursday, June 11, 2015.
