Over the past decade, migration and forced displacement have become one of the most contentious but poorly understood political issues across the globe.
The objective of Cities Alliance's Cities and Migration programme is to enable partner cities, local governments, private sector host communities and migrants to manage challenges and leverage opportunities arising from migration to cities for sustainable and inclusive development.
The objective of this Call for Proposals is to enable partner cities, local governments, the private sector, host communities, migrants and forcibly displaced to design and implement approaches to provide equal access to quality public services, labour market integration and economic opportunities to migrants, forcibly displaced and vulnerable host communities in secondary cities of low-income countries.
The present call is a follow-up of the programme's phase I (2018-2022). Phase II (2022-2026), will consolidate the cooperation with the following cities: Adama and Jigjiga, Ethiopia; San Marcos and Amatitlán metropolitan area, Guatemala; and Arua and Jinja, Uganda.
Through this call, Cities Alliance seeks project proposals which will support city stakeholders in three intervention areas:
● Improve labour market integration for migrants, displaced persons, and host communities.
● Improve gender-responsive, climate-resilient and sustainable provision of basic services
for migrants, displaced persons, and host communities.
● Address persistent gender inequalities with contextually relevant responses by including a local organisation with a gender equality mandate for the design, implementation and evaluation of the project.
Interested parties are invited to check all the requirements and apply through the United Nations Global Marketplace website.
Estimated start: 1 March 2023
Duration: 3 years
