           <h3>Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)</h3>
           <p>A Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) is a strategic plan developed in a participatory and integrated way to meet people's and businesses' mobility needs in cities and to harmonize and integrate existing planning approaches. It sets cities on a sustainable course regarding land use and urban mobility. Because each city is starting with a different baseline of transport plans, MobiliseYourCity implementing partners and city members work together to adapt the SUMP process for local needs. </p>
           <p>Because each measure is costed and prioritised, an adopted SUMP gives a city a credible investment pipeline to present to governments, development banks and other financiers.</p>

           <h3>National Urban Mobility Policies and Investment Programmes (NUMPs)</h3>
           <p>A National Urban Mobility Policy or Investment Programme (NUMP) is a strategic, action-oriented framework for urban mobility, developed by national governments, enacted to enhance the capability of cities to plan, finance and implement projects and measures designed to fulfil the mobility needs of people and businesses in cities and their surroundings in a sustainable manner.</p>
           <p>It aligns ministries, regions and cities around shared priorities and connects them to national budgets and development finance, so that city plans have the backing they need.</p>

             <h3>Implementation support</h3>
             <p>A SUMP or NUMP defines priorities, but its measures are not yet projects. Implementation support adds the technical, financial and institutional detail needed to build, finance and run them.</p>
             <p>It is now the largest share of the Partnership's work, with a focus on areas that are often underfunded, such as paratransit reform, walking and cycling, and governance.</p>
             <p class="note">Most projects combine several of these types, depending on local priorities and capacity.</p>

MobiliseYourCity SUMPs and NUMPs in Africa

MobiliseYourCity has 35 member cities in Africa with a total population of over 53 million, and 9 national governments in member countries with an aggregate urban population of over 100 million. Capitals and major cities in West and Central Africa and the Maghreb are represented, including Abidjan, Yaoundé, Douala, Dakar, Kumasi and Maputo, as well as Casablanca and Rabat.

The French Development Agency (AFD) is involved in almost all MobiliseYourCity projects in Africa and is the leader of the partnership's activities on this continent. With the participation of CODATU and Cerema, AFD supports the preparation of 12 Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), 8 of which under direct management, and 4 under the responsibility of local authorities. Five of these SUMPs have been finalised as of 2023.

As of December 2023, the region has seen the completion of 5 Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and 3 National Urban Mobility Plans (NUMPs). Among these, 4 SUMPs and 1 NUMP are currently in the implementation stage.

The Partnership has also supported the development of National Urban Mobility Policies (NUMPs) in Cameroon (by AFD) and Tunisia (through a collaboration between AFD, GIZ and CODATU), as well as various technical assistance to 6 cities and national governments.

MobiliseYourCity SUMPs and NUMPs in Eastern Europe

MobiliseYourCity has 5 member cities in Ukraine, with a total population of nearly 2 million.

As of December 2023, the region has seen the completion of 3 SUMPs, among which all 3 are currently in the implementation phase.

Ukraine has invested in decentralisation in the past years, strengthening local governments with new capacities and mandates. In line with the approach of integrated urban development, they are expected to tackle urban development issues through comprehensive and interdisciplinary processes. Plans developed on this basis support sustainable development, social balance and diversity.

Member cities in Ukraine are supported by GIZ on mobility planning and support to sustainable mobility through the project Integrated Urban Development in Ukraine. This support is funded by the German Ministry of International Cooperation (BMZ) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
