WHO WE ARE
ICLEI has put ‘urban’ firmly on the sustainability agenda, working with, and effectively advocating for local and subnational governments in the global arena for over 30 years.
ICLEI Africa continues to enlarge its footprint, reaching over 450 cities and regions in 53 countries across the continent. We work with cities and regions across the various development agendas, aligning with African and global policies, and contextualising our work within the realities of our continent. We influence sustainability policy and drive local action for low emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient and circular development.
