Call for Expression of Interests: Asia-Pacific Mayors Academy 2022-2023 Class
The Asia Pacific Mayors Academy was launched in 2019 by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) - in cooperation with the United Nations University, Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS); the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU), United Cities and Local Governments Asia-Pacific (UCLG ASPAC) and Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES).
After the successful conclusion of three classes, we are launching the fourth one for this year.
The Academy engages newly elected or appointed city mayors/governors in the Asia-Pacific region to participate in annual fellowships and build their capacities to develop and implement sustainable urban solutions in their communities, in support of the New Urban Agenda and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This year the Academy will take place from February 2023 to October 2023. The Academy will deliver tailored activities to mayors through both virtual and physical sessions coupled with ongoing peer-learning and builds a network of local leaders in Asia-Pacific committed to sustainable urban development. The physical sessions will coincide with the 8th Asia-Pacific Urban Forum (APUF-8) that is to be held in October 2023 in Suwon, Republic of Korea.
Fellows are selected on an annual basis to join the Academy classes. City mayors/governors interested in fellowships are encouraged to review the eligibility criteria and complete an application available through the website. Applications from female mayors are strongly encouraged. Applications are reviewed on a continuous basis and mayors will be notified if selected to join a class of fellows.
The Academy is accepting the application for the 2022-2023 Class. Deadline is 23rd December 2022. You can find the application form here: https://www.asiapacificmayorsacademy.org/call-for-expressions-of-interest
