Since 2021, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) have officially taken on the role of Technical Secretariat to provide support and advice to MINURVI member countries. This strategic collaboration reinforces the United Nations' commitment to sustainable urban development and the strengthening of housing policies in Latin America and the Caribbean.
MINURVI Declarations are drafted annually during its General Assemblies, where the authorities reaffirm their commitments to address regional challenges and needs in urban development and housing. These declarations represent a joint commitment to strengthen policies and actions that promote more sustainable, inclusive, and productive cities.
This section provides access to a complete archive of official records and documents from MINURVI meetings and general assemblies, serving as a comprehensive resource for historical reference and institutional knowledge.
