The Global Alliance is a multi-stakeholder initiative made up
of a broad membership that also includes actors not traditionally considered
humanitarian responders: development actors, urban professionals such as
planners, architects and engineers, and local authority networks.
The Alliance will provide knowledge, build capacities and
develop data-informed and evidence-based approaches in order to more
effectively prevent, prepare for, and respond to humanitarian crises in urban
settings; ultimately contributing to longer term, recovery, development and
resilience building efforts.
The Alliance is an initiative that arose out of consultations
for the World Humanitarian Summit, during which a number of committed
organisations led an urban expert group and developed a series of Urban Recommendations which are reflected in the
Synthesis Report for the Summit. The Alliance is the vehicle through which
these recommendations will be put into action. It is guided by a series of
principles as laid out in the Urban Crises Charter.
