Within this framework, UN-Habitat supports federal and state governments, as well as local authorities and other partners to implement the Habitat Agenda, the 2030 Agenda with the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda. UN-Habitat helps the low-income population living in urban centers by transforming cities into safer, more inclusive, compact, integrated, resilient, and connected places, with better opportunities, where everyone can live with dignity. It works with organizations at all levels, including all spheres of government, civil society, and the private sector to help build, manage, plan and finance sustainable urban development.

Indeed, for the past years, UN-Habitat has expanded its portfolio in Brazil by working with the three tiers of government in order to support the formulation and implementation of more effective, sustainable, participative and socially fairer urban economic, social and environmental policies.
