The Cities Alliance 2010 Annual Report focuses on the process of transition which informed the Alliance’s operations during the period under review, which culminated in the adoption of a new business model better aligned with the Alliance’s strategic goal of working as a global partnership for urban poverty reduction and the promotion of the role of cities in sustainable development.
The transitional process notwithstanding the Alliance approved US$16 million in grants for project activities for the year under review, the highest amount since 2006. A total of 38 projects were approved with increasing numbers of these reflecting the Alliance’s shift towards longer term, programmatic commitments that raise the profile of cities and slums and support transformation.
