Description
Description | The JWP works with development partners to produce global knowledge, facilitate policy dialogues and support city-level diagnostics and policy recommendations.
The JWP is unusual in that it combines support for global knowledge, financing, tools and dialogue, and connects them with on-the-ground technical assistance and implementation. While many other resilience organisations focus on one or more of these aspects, the Cities Alliance JWP brings them all together for a more holistic, integrated approach. |

Objectives | The goal is to support growth trajectories increasingly characterised by equity, inclusion and environmental sustainability.
Objectives: 1. Convene diverse international organisations to work in partnership for more resilient and sustainable cities and communities. 2. Strengthen local governments by developing and piloting tools to integrate resilience into city planning and development strategies. 3. Ensure urban poor groups are at the centre of citywide resilience solutions. 4. Support local governments and communities to access and deliver finance for resilience, with a focus on innovative global finance opportunities. 5. Drive the collection and application of innovative data tools for more risk-informed, resilient city development. |
Activities | The JWP implements its partnership approach through two focus areas, one aimed at the global level and the other at the local level, each with three sub-components:
Focus Area 1: Global partnerships to facilitate the flow of knowledge and resources to enhance city resilience, supporting the emerging Post-2015 framework, climate change and Habitat III processes. Focus Area 2: Promoting local resilience strategies through inclusive long-term urban planning processes. |
