All Things Urban

The Global Alliance - Cities4Children was established to tackle the huge challenges and numerous issues faced by children living in urban areas, especially the most marginalized children. We believe that together we will achieve greater collective impact and influence, we will avoid replication and siloed work, we will be able to encourage country and city level collaboration and will have a louder voice with joint advocacy and communications geared to change the narrative on urban areas that are fit for children.

In order to achieve our advocacy, knowledge sharing and partnership building goals, we plan on participating and hosting a variety of in person and online events focused on improving the livelihoods of children living in urban areas. The events will be structured in various formats ranging from presentations, workshops, panel discussions and training events. The events will both be organised within international conferences such as WUF11 and COP27, as well as stand-alone events for internal and external audiences. These will also include regular webinars. Events are organised in partnership with members of the Global Alliance – Cities 4 Children and the audiences will range from city governments to practitioners and youth activists. The Global Alliance is looking for an events coordinator to support the planning, organising and managing of the events.
