The Cities Alliance, hosted by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), is the global partnership for the promotion of cities in poverty reduction and sustainable development. Headquartered in Brussels and supported by a Secretariat, it is a unique partnership with a diverse membership including - global organisations of local authorities, national governments, international non-governmental organisations, foundations and multi-lateral organisations - which have come together to strengthen both impacts and coherence in urban development.

To assess the extent to which its efforts and those of partners are making progress toward that objective, the Cities Alliance monitors, evaluates and publicly reports its activities within an agreed-upon corporate results framework and through a dedicated result-based management system. The Cities Alliance is also strengthening its learning systems and approaches and integrating learning into the project cycle and M&E.
