To fulfill our mission, we support mayors and the cities they lead with:

• City Diplomacy to influence policy decisions on migration and displacement at the national and international level.

• City Practice to unlock financial and technical resources to implement local solutions for migrants and displaced people.

• Communications to raise awareness on city leadership among global audiences.

• Knowledge to generate and share evidence on urban migration and displacement.  

• Stakeholder Engagement to build a coalition of local and global champions.

Our Coalition 

Our coalition includes mayors of all city sizes, geographical locations, and migration contexts. Our core city partners are organized along three tiers of engagement: 

• Leadership Cities: Cities whose mayors serve on the MMC Leadership Board, acting as our primary ambassadors and guiding our programmatic strategy.

• Action Cities: Cities that actively participate in MMC core programs, such as the Call to Local Action or Global Cities Fund for Migrants and Refugees. 

• Coalition Cities: Cities that engage in MMC diplomacy or practice activities, such as diplomatic dialogues, joint statements, technical sessions, or research initiatives.

The MMC is not a fee-based membership network. Any city across the world can join our growing coalition by participating in MMC programs and showing their commitment to support migrants and displaced people.
