Our Operations

Cities Alliance provides direct operational support to urban programmes aimed at reducing urban poverty and gender inequality. We focus on countries grappling with rapid urban growth, particularly in secondary cities where the needs are greatest and resources the least.

We also serve as the international platform that convenes countries and diverse organisations seeking to engage, learn and to share their specialised knowledge, expertise and resources in support of a common vision and advocacy.

How We Work

Cities Alliance works through two main funding windows:

The Country/City window provides technical assistance at the city and national level across multiple countries. Our established Country Programme model is at the core of this window, which also includes the smaller, flexible Innovation Fund. Our Country Programmes include Burkina Faso, Ghana, Liberia, Mozambique, Tunisia, Uganda  and Vietnam.

The Global window promotes new analytical and collaborative approaches to tackle key policy issues. It comprises our thematic Joint Work Programmes (JWPs) and Regional Programmes.
