The City Data Alliance funds cities in North and South America with populations over 100,000 to enhance data-informed decision making. Participants receive six months of education, coaching, and consultations on civic data practices, followed by 12 months of assistance to improve data governance strategies such as performance management, procurement, and evaluation. Cities must have strong data use foundations, including a chief data officer and a commitment to civic data training.
Mayors of cities with populations greater than 100,000 are eligible. Cities must have strong data use foundations, including a chief data officer and a commitment to at least five hours per month of civic data-related training.
