UNDP wants to hear your solutions to three complex urban challenges in five African cities. Find more information about how to participate here.
Application Deadline:13th December 2020
About the Award: The Multi City Challenge is a process by which cities facing common problems pool expertise from residents to discover and implement innovative solutions.
The Multi-City Challenge Africa aims to solve complex urban problems in collaboration with the people most affected by these problems: the residents of the city. The programme offers training to public officials of the participating cities to support them in defining challenges and solving them in collaboration with their residents. It offers the community a space to participate in the design and formulation of public policies and programmes at the local level, allowing them to provide their innovative ideas to overcome these challenges.
Eligible Field(s): The participating cities, Accra, Bahir Dar, Kampala, Kano, and Mutare, have defined three shared challenges to solve together with their communities.
Type: Contest
Eligibility:
Selection Criteria: We seek innovative, low-cost ideas to solve these challenges that can be implemented by the cities in the short term. Solutions can include products, services, software, methods, models, public programme designs, and more. Solutions do not need to be novel. In fact, something that is in use elsewhere is of great interest but must be supported by evidence that the proposed solution will work in one of the participating cities.
Eligible Countries: Members of the cities listed (Accra, Bahir Dar, Kampala, Kano, and Mutare)
Number of Awards: The judges will select up to two winners in each category.
How to Apply: Participation is divided in two steps:
