MobiliseYourCity is a global partnership that supports cities and countries in developing and emerging economies to go from sustainable urban mobility plans to concrete actions for green, inclusive and competitive cities. With over €30 billion in urban mobility investments identified and €4.4 billion in financing leveraged, MobiliseYourCity crucially bridges the gap between planning and investment.
Backed by more than €120 million in grants from the EU, France and Germany, MobiliseYourCity plays a catalytic role in mobilising domestic and international finance. As of December 2025, we reached 82 member cities representing 172 million people and 16 member countries. With 75 projects across 38 countries, the Partnership primarily supports mobility planning as a pathway to project implementation, helping de-risk early-stage urban mobility investments. MobiliseYourCity’s planning approach is adapted from the EU SUMP methodology for the Global South context.
MobiliseYourCity provides a platform for aligning planning, project preparation, and financing around coherent mobility pipelines. By using SUMPs as common reference frameworks, MobiliseYourCity helps reduce fragmentation, strengthen partner coordination, and translate global priorities, including the Paris Agreement, the SDGs, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport, and the EU Global Gateway into concrete, country-owned investment opportunities.
The MobiliseYourCity Secretariat consists of an international team of 6 people, 4 of whom are CODATU staff (financed by EU through the AFD) and 2 GIZ staff (financed by BMZ). The advertised position will be part of the CODATU staff for the MobiliseYourCity Secretariat financed by AFD.
