Habitat III is the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development. Habitat III offers Member States an opportunity to discuss a New Urban Agenda that will focus on policies and strategies that can result in effectively harnessing the power and forces behind urbanization. Preparatory Committee 3 for Habitat III was help in Surabaya, Indonesia on 25-27 July 2016.

Since IMCS had been involved with Habitat III process through the UN Major Group of Children and Youth since the beginning, IMCS members could contribute to the PrepCom 3 as well. IMCS UN Advocacy Team Coordinator, Christopher Dekki , IMCS Asia Pacific Coordinator Ravi Tissera and the members of Indonesian IMCS national movement, PMKRI participated the event contributing to side events as panelists and in advocacy. It was a good opportunity for local IMCS members to observe and learn about the United Nations system and the international advocacy.
