P01.2.2 Consultancy to detect visual polution through SME experts, Abha

BACKGROUND: 

UNDP provides integrated programmatic, policy and financing solutions to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, UNDP has created a Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan. The Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and the Crisis Bureau (CB) are the two anchor Bureaus of the GPN.

Through Local Action, the GRP Hub seeks to contribute to peace and development, achieving a visible impact on communities and improving lives by delivering integrated solutions that harness global expertise and partnerships. The Local Action Unit works closely with local and regional governments as key development players, highlighting their role as public service implementers, as drivers of innovation and the closest institution to people. 

Local and regional governments are already responsible of over 65% of the SDG targets, most of them linked to basic service provision from water, sanitation, mobility, climate action, health or education. Cities and territories are playing a big part on the implementation of SDGs, that are becoming a new tool for strategic planning and budgeting in the mid to long-term. Since 2015, local governments and their associations have been increasingly active in promoting the SDGs through advocacy, working with their local population and partners in transposing the spirit of Agenda 2030 in cities and territories. Local Governments have also started to use SDGs as a strategic framework to deliver better and more innovative public services linked to SDG targets and indicators.

UNDP is supporting the Aseer Municipality in its ambition to strengthen smart city monitoring and municipal asset management through automated aerial inspections. To address this, the development of the Abha Visual Revival Tool (AVRT) system is proposed. This system will leverage advanced image recognition and geospatial technologies to detect, classify, and prioritize visual pollution elements across the city. It will also support the design and implementation of targeted interventions to restore urban coherence and visual harmony. The impact of this initiative is multifaceted, as it enhances the quality of life for residents by creating cleaner and more organized public spaces, improves safety for children and the elderly by reducing visual clutter and hazards, boosts business opportunities and tourism through a more attractive urban image, and strengthens civic pride and identity, thereby fostering deeper community engagement. As part of the Municipality’s efforts to enhance urban infrastructure maintenance. UNDP is seeking a local supplier to develop and implement the Abha Visual Revival Tool (AVRT) system by providing strategic, technical, and project management.
