Cities Alliance provides financial and technical assistance to local city stakeholders in low-income countries to identify and implement approaches for improved local migration management that are relevant to each city’s context. As migration and displacement in developing countries are characterized by informality, Cities Alliance builds partnerships among various constituencies at the local, national, and global levels to jointly identify and negotiate a better way forward. Sustainable urban planning instruments, such as urban expansion planning, are at the forefront of Cities Alliance’s work to provide equitable access to a city for all. The Cities Alliance is seeking leadership for the implementation of its activities in Ethiopia and Somalia.

Key responsibility of the In-Country Coordinator will include the successful implementation of the Cities Alliance portfolio in Uganda, Sudan and DRC. Currently Cities Alliance is implementing its Global Programme on Cities and Migration in several cities of Uganda, Sudan and DRC. This Global Programme includes two specific funded programmes:

The Resilient Systems of Secondary Cities and Migration Dynamics Programme and the Sustainable Urban Integration of Displacement Affected Communities (SUIDAC).
