Empowering City Leaders to Take their Data Expertise to the Next level

The AMALI Data Programme empowers Mayors and Governors to achieve their legacy goals by offering personalized coaching and targeted technical assistance. We work to close data gaps and develop a robust data reporting tool for rigorous performance monitoring and evaluation. Our aim is to foster data-driven cities that enhance service delivery, program effectiveness, and resident outcomes.

Our Work

Cohort 2023 and 2024

Since the inaugural 2023 cohort, the AMALI Data Programme has worked with up to 20 cities that have received direct coaching, tailored technical support, training, or light touch support from a dedicated City Data Advisor during an 8-month engagement.

Throughout the programme, executive leaders and their city data team will:

  • Use data to monitor indicators, evaluate results and identify opportunities to improve performance based on the established legacy goal.
  • Build capacity and improve foundational data practices to best manage and use data.
  • Enhance their understanding of how to use data to improve city operations and programming and of how city leadership affects the conditions for success.
  • Communicate the progress made on the legacy goal in ways that transform the quality of life of residents.
