Membership

There are many opportunities for cities to engage in the Cities Programme. All cities engage for an initial three year period, with opportunity to re-engage at the completion of their initial engagement period. Membership in the Cities Programme is led by an In-Country Convenor with their Local Secretariat and facilitated by the International Secretariat. This working relationship assists in maintaining the focus on the city's desired outcomes, which are identified from the outset. The Step-By-Step Guide illustrates the phases of engagement for an Innovating city. Interested cities should contact the International Secretariat to discuss their options.
