Mayors Migration Council

The Mayors Migration Council

The Mayors Migration Council (MMC) is a mayor-led coalition that accelerates ambitious global action on migration and displacement. With most of the world’s migrants and displaced people living in cities, our mission is to use the power of city diplomacy and practice to create a world where urban migrants, displaced people, and receiving communities can thrive.

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

Created by mayors for mayors, we are a nimble team of political advisors and urban practitioners led by a Leadership Board of global city leaders, including the mayors of Amman, Bristol, Dhaka North, Freetown, Kampala, Milan, Montevideo, Montreal, and Zürich. We are managed as a Sponsored Project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA) and operate with the institutional support of the the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the IKEA Foundation, the Open Society Foundations, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, in addition to other project-based donors.
