Anchor Institutions - UMP Partnership in the Regions Institutional Anchoring Process
A key to the sustainability of the Urban Management Programme is institutional anchoring, or partnerships with selected urban management institutes in the region. There are 20 key Anchor Institutions in the Urban Management Programme. With these 20 regional anchor institutions, the UMP has created a global network of institutions that are established leaders in the field of urban governance. Through these partnerships, city consultations and other UMP activities were jointly undertaken in Phase 3. The result is a considerable resource base for future urban management activities at the regional and global level. In Phase 4 of the programme, Anchor Institutions began taking on more and more of the UMP work and knowledge management. In January 2004, these Anchor Institutions had all officially “transformed” themselves into Regional Networks, which took over the goals and objectives of the Urban Management Programme.
