The MobiliseYourCity Partnership

Since being launched in December 2015 at COP21, the MobiliseYourCity Partnership has become the leading global Partnership for sustainable urban mobility planning, policy development, and increasing investment for sustainable transport in developing and emerging economies.

MobiliseYourCity’s Implementing Partners are the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), which are working with cities and countries across the world to develop scalable solutions to improve mobility in complex environments.

Today, the Partnership has 70 member cities with a combined population of over 126 million people in 32 countries. Thanks to the generous contributions of the European Union (EU), the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the French Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MTE), the German Federal Ministry for economic cooperation and development (BMZ), the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM), as of February 2023, the Partnership has raised over 40 million euros in grants to support about half of its member cities and countries, which has already mobilised additional loans for concrete sustainable urban mobility projects. With this investment, MobiliseYourCity expects an additional 9 million people to have access to public transportation services.

The Partnership was founded by Agence de l’Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l’Energie (ADEME), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Coopération pour le Développement et l’Amélioration des Transport Urbains et Périurbains (CODATU), Centre d’études et d’expertise sur les risques, l’environnement, la mobilité et l’aménagement (Cerema) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. MobiliseYourCity is an international transport initiative under the UN Marrakesh Partnership for Global Climate Action and a member of the SuM4All Consortium.
