Cities Alliance Annual Report 2018

BEST PRACTICES COMPETITION FOR FUR
To spotlight some of the innovative ways local actors are accelerating the
implementation of the global agendas, Cities Alliance issued a call in April for
best practices that take an integrated approach to the Follow-up and Review
process at the local level.
Five best practices were selected, and Cities Alliance invited the top three –
Monitoreo CDMX, Mexico City; #weResilient, the Province of Potenza, Italy;
and Red de Ciudades Cómo Vamos, Colombia – to highlight their approaches
during the Cities Alliance Secretariat’s activities at the HLPF in New York.
