The Partnership for Healthy Cities is a collaboration between Bloomberg Philanthropies, the World Health Organization, and Vital Strategies. It is a technical network. Cities can only join by invitation but no membership fees are required.<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The network numbers 70 cities from all regions of the world, the majority from low- and middle-income countries. Each city has a population of at least a million inhabitants, including metropolitan areas. New members are invited very two years. The decision to join is made by the city\u2019s mayor or governor, on receipt of an official invitation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVES<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

The network supports cities and their mayors to save lives by preventing noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries. Each city selects an intervention from one of 14 possible topic areas of NCD and injury risk. The network then provides:<\/p>

\u2022 Technical assistance if needed.<\/p>

\u2022 Financial assistance for activities.<\/p>

\u2022 Communication support to make the city\u2019s work visible.<\/p>

Since March 2020, the Partnership has also supported cities\u2019 responses to COVID-19.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Priorities for 2021-22 include city-level programmes on tobacco control, food policy, safe active mobility, road safety, opioid overdose prevention, and NCD surveillance. Support for cities\u2019 responses to COVID-19 will also continue to be available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
