Job description
The MobiliseYourCity Partnership is a leading global Partnership for systemic and transformative urban mobility planning, facilitating investments and linking local action with the global sustainability agenda (Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement). The Partnership is supported by the European Commission, the French Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MTE), the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM), and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Construction and Nuclear Safety (BMUV), which are working in collaboration to enable positive global transformation.
Since 2015 the Partnership has gathered a network of 79 partner cities and 15 partner countries, which are being supported by 10 implementing and knowledge partners led by AFD and GIZ.

The MobiliseYourCity Partnership also acts as a platform for financing by connecting international and bilateral technical & financial agencies with cities and countries across the world that have ambitious goals to decarbonise and improve their urban transport.
