The Cities Alliance is
a coalition of cities and their development partners
committed to urban poverty reduction. The Alliance
aims to improve the efficiency and impact of urban
development cooperation in two key areas:
scaling up
slum upgrading and promoting participatory and
inclusive
city development strategies.
The
Alliance's overall strategic objectives are to build
political commitment and a shared vision for scaling
up slum upgrading and city development strategies,
to distill and share knowledge on sound practices
and experiences, and to catalyze citywide and
nationwide impacts.
The Cities Alliance manages a
small grant facility ("Core Funds") to encourage
innovations and reach its strategic objectives.
(Grants range in size from $40,000 to a maximum of
$500,000 (from Cities Alliance Core Funds)). The
Alliance also manages "Non-Core Funds" which usually
target specific activities, countries or regions.
