  • Global Alliance for Urban Crises

    What concrete actions have you taken in support of the initiative.

    IRC helped establish the coordinating structures of the Global Alliance on Urban Crises. As a founding member of the Steering Group, IRC convened two all member meetings in March and October and established four working groups to advance the key objectives of the Alliance with respect to 1) improving coordination in urban crises; 2) strengthening the deployment of appropriately skilled personnel to urban crises; 3) building the evidence base on protracted displacement in urban crises; 4) promoting multi-stakeholder resilience building strategies and approaches in urban crises. IRC was instrumental in establishing a Secretariat to the Steering Group, securing new funding for the Alliance for 2018, and in raising the voice of the Alliance in the Global Compacts for refugees and migrants. This resulted in an increase in Alliance membership, including from the World Bank and non-traditional actors such as local authorities and built environment professionals.
