\n

The late Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who was also Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has become the first individual to receive the Outstanding Donor Award for the Special Human Settlements Programme for the Palestinian People (SHSPPP) by UN-Habitat.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

At a ceremony in New York<\/a>, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, presented the award to Ambassador Abdallah Y. Al-Mouallimi, the Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations -on behalf of the late Crown Prince- for his remarkable support to the needy people of Palestine since 2007. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Executive Director of UN-Habitat, Dr. Joan Clos, also expressed his sincere thanks and reiterated that the late Crown Prince Nayef will always be remembered for devoting his life to promoting humanitarian and relief work all over, including his tremendous dedication to the work of UN-Habitat.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Crown Prince Nayef was the Supervisor General of the Saudi Committee for the Palestinian People Relief and the Campaign of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for the Relief of the Palestinian People in Gaza, which has given to UN-Habitat financial support of about $17 million since 2007, representing the largest donation to the UN-Habitat Special Human Settlements Programme for the Palestinian People.<\/p><\/div>\n

About the Special Human Settlements Programme for the Palestinian People (SHSPPP)<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

UN-Habitat is mandated to work in Occupied Palestinian Territory since 2003, when its Governing Council created the Special Human Settlements Programme for the Palestinian People and the Technical Cooperation Trust Fund (<\/span>GC 19\/18<\/a>). The resolution was approved by consensus.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In 2011, during the 23rd Governing Council of UN-Habitat, a new resolution was adopted (CG23\/2) calling upon UN-Habitat to further focus its operation on planning, land and housing issues with a view to improving the human settlements conditions of Palestinians, addressing the urbanization challenges, supporting the buildings of a Palestinian State and fostering humanitarian action and peace building in the areas where acute humanitarian and development needs.<\/p><\/div>\n
