Advancing thriving African cities through collaboration
Sponsored by the Judith Neilson Foundation, the Million Lives Collective is offering its Members a unique opportunity to collaborate for urban impact at scale in Sub-Saharan Africa.
What becomes possible when you combine the strengths of multiple impactful, proven and rapidly scaling innovations?
Urban challenges are complex, dynamic and unpredictable, but when innovators collaborate - drawing on their unique resources, skills and expertise across sectors - they can be better understood and addressed.
This opportunity will provide flexible grant funding and targeted technical assistance for partnerships of MLC Members and other ecosystem actors — including civil society organizations, public and private agencies, research institutions and community groups — to co-design, test and refine new solutions to pressing urban challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa.
