MCI

Millennium Cities

MCI works to help selected sub-Saharan cities accomplish the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight universally endorsed targets focused on poverty eradication, health, education, gender equality, environmental protection and global partnerships. MCI’s social sector and investment-related research gives these regional capitals the information they need to generate comprehensive, integrated city development strategies aimed at ensuring the delivery of social services and attracting job-generating investment.

MCI is currently working in the following 11 cities across eight countries:
