The Cities Alliance provides grants in support of city development strategies, citywide and nationwide slum upgrading, and national policies on urban development and local government. Support is prioritised to cities, local authorities, associations of local authorities and/or national governments that are committed to:

  • Improving their cities, and local governance, for all residents;
  • Adopting a long-term, comprehensive and inclusive approach to urban development;
  • Implementing those reforms necessary to effect systemic change, and to achieve delivery at scale; and
  • Decentralising resources to empower local government.
