Impact of Investing in Cities and Local Governments
Source: USAID | Year: 2024
The Making Cities Work (MCW) indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract (2014-2024) issued 18 task orders (TOs) for urban governance work, totaling over $500 million. MCW aims to provide access to short- and long-term technical services, training, and capacity-strengthening in areas related to improving urban and local governance. MCW enabled the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Missions and Washington Bureaus to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the unprecedented pace of urbanization around the world and supported USAID’s implementation of its Sustainable Service Delivery in an Increasingly Urbanized World policy. The MCW outcomes consist of technical assistance in five functional areas:
Improved urban and local government public service delivery with an emphasis on transportation, water and sanitation, and solid waste management (SWM).
Greater autonomy, transparency, responsiveness, and accountability of urban and local governments.
Enhanced ability of urban and local governments to adapt to climate change, improve environmental management practices, and expand pollution control systems.
Better urban and local government disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
Strengthened urban and local government finance, creditworthiness, and borrowing
