There are many opportunities for business and other organizations to support the Cities Programme.  These are summarized in Global Compact Cities Programme Sponsorship Opportunities (PDF 35kb)

Why support the Cities Programme?

Your contributions help to make real differences in the world.
Whether your company or organization is directly involved with the urban agenda or interested in assisting project based work that improve the livelihoods of communities, your contribution will be contributing directly to ongoing research and development work, which is steering local communities to a sustainable future.
Benefits include but are not limited to:

  • Use of logo on website and event materials, as appropriate
  • Designation as a ‘Foundation Partner’, ‘Innovating Partner’, or ‘Supporting Partner’
  • Provide technical assistance to cities and issues that are of strategic value to your business or organization
  • Invitation to annual UN events and related conferences, as appropriate
  • Speaking opportunities, as appropriate

The benefits are dependant upon the level and type of support received and further outlined in the sponsorship package.

How do I become a supporter of the Cities Programme?

All supporters must be signed onto the ten principles of the Global Compact. If you are not already a member of the Global Compact, the International Secretariat may assist you through this process.
