The UK is offering £1 million or around R20.8 million to an organisation that can deliver data, technology, and evidence capabilities in South African cities as part of a broader urban development programme.

The newest programme, designed to build on urban governance, spatial planning, and economic development strategies delivered during the Global Future Cities project, will run from 2023 to 2027.

While the broader programme aims to fund technical assistance of up to £8 million over four years, this first call for proposals deals exclusively with data gathering. One of these proposed projects deals with regional data strategies in KwaZulu-Natal and, specifically, in"core municipalities like eThekwini". This project includes a data environment scan, co-development of strategies and governance for eThekwini, and piloting use cases.
