Cities Alliance is a global coalition of cities and their development partners committed to scaling up successful approaches to poverty reduction.
The Alliance:
- Brings cities together in a direct dialogue with bilateral and multilateral agencies and financial institutions.
- Promotes, through its members, the developmental role of local governments and helps cities of all sizes obtain more coherent international support.
- Promotes the positive impacts of urbanisation and helps local authorities plan and prepare for future growth.
- Helps cities develop sustainable financing strategies and attract long-term capital investments for infrastructure and other services.
