The Urban Competency Framework was developed by RedR UK based on an initial research report and in close consultation with a panel of twelve expert advisors, on behalf of the Global Alliance for Urban Crises. A wider section of organisations and individuals were also consulted during later stages of the framework development (see Annex 1). The framework, research report and this guide were produced through funding provided to the International Rescue Committee from EU Humanitarian Aid (ECHO) and is part of a wider project for the Alliance entitled ‘Developing the skills to meet the needs of urban populations in crises through the alliance of urban responders’.
