'KNOW YOUR CITY: INFORMATION FOR TRANSFORMATION' CITIES ALLIANCE CATALYTIC FUND 14.05.2014

Cities Alliance has launched a call for proposals for the 2014 edition of Catalytic Fund (CATF) and this year’s edition will be based around the theme: ‘Know your city: Information for transformation’.

This topic is in-line with Cities Alliance’s approach to promoting better knowledge about cities and to foster innovative and collaborative ways to generate information with view to bridging the engagement, information and accountability gaps between city governments and their citizens.

Projects should therefore cover one of the following key focus areas:

1.    Know your city finances and assets
2.    Know your citizens
3.    Know ALL of your city and its constituencies
4.    Know the future potential of your city
5.    Know the emerging issues

Project proposals should be limited to US $50,000 – US $200,000 and must demonstrate activities that will maintain gender mainstreaming in-line with Cities Alliance’s approach. The closing date for applications is the 30^th June 2014.
