From
6 to 8 June 2001, five years after Habitat II, the General
Assembly of the United Nations will hold a special session
to review and appraise implementation of the Habitat
Agenda worldwide. In assessing progress toward the Habitat
Agenda commitments and strategies, all Member States
of the United Nations were invited to prepare a report
on national and local implementation of the Habitat
Agenda, reflecting the views of the government and of
its partners.
"All
partners of the Habitat Agenda, including local authorities,
the private sector and communities, should regularly
monitor and evaluate their own performance in the implementation
of the Habitat Agenda through comparable human settlements
and shelter indicators and documented best practices...."

Agenda, paragraph 240
