The Partnership
The Hungry Cities Partnership (HCP) is an international network of cities and city-based partner organizations which focuses on the relationships between rapid urbanization, informality, inclusive growth and urban food systems in the Global South.
The HCP aims to provide solutions to the challenge of building sustainable cities, policies and programs that promote food security in cities.
The HCP currently operates in China, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique and South Africa.
The IPaSS Hungry Cities Partnership is supported with grants from the International Development Research Centre and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Ottawa, Canada.
