UN-Habitat Scroll of Honour Award
UN Habitat Scroll of Honor Award
UN Habitat Scroll of Honour Award was created by the United Nations Residential Centre in 1989 to encourage and recognize the countries, governments, organizations and individuals who have made great contributions to the development of housing. It is the highest standard reward for such activities. It is an award given by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme in recognition of work carried out in the field of human settlements development. The aim of the award is to honour individuals and institutions instrumental in improving the living conditions in urban centres on the world.
Winners
Each year, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme receives a large number of projects nominated by governments after selection. Recommended candidates can be government/organization, individual or project and contents can be involved in any aspects of human settlements, such as housing, infrastructure, urban renewal, sustainable human settlements development, or post-disaster reconstruction.
