The World Alliance of Cities Against Poverty (WACAP) is a network of cities working together to confront development challenges collectively. The Alliance supports its member-cities to mobilize individuals, governments, and all sectors of society to confront the many challenges of urban poverty and to share successes - and failures - with other cities.

The potential of these partnerships is enormous. Partnership and collaboration between local authorities enable them to tap into a larger pool of resources and experiences while promoting widespread participation in development, with their partners from diverse sectors. Through WACAP, best practices are shared, adapted to local contexts and upscaled to benefit everyone.
