Highlights

This is the inaugural Middle East and North Africa Urbanization Knowledge Platform (MENA UKP) newsletter on urban development. The newsletter is designed to facilitate knowledge exchange on policies and initiatives that aim to leverage urbanization. It is oriented towards decision makers, individuals and groups from all realms interested in urban issues and opportunities in MENA. In each issue, we will showcase a different theme linked to urban development. 

The newsletter will highlight support to MENA countries provided by several development partners including the Arab Urban Development Institute (AUDI), the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the Center for Mediterranean Integration (CMI) the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the European Investment Bank, and the World Bank (WB). In this inaugural issue, the newsletter focuses on measures to strengthen city resilience. The newsletter is produced by the CMI.
