Use cases and example activities to show how the Opportunity Fund can support your city's work.
Scaling your work
Scale or expand a current intervention by adding implementation sites, new activities like communication campaigns, or hiring additional community-based partners. Funding can also cover materials and supplies such as low-cost sensors, road signage, or school canteen equipment.
Strategic communication to advance policy
Develop clear, compelling messaging for target audiences, build strategic partnerships with trusted voices and community leaders, and engage media through outreach and training to strengthen policy-focused coverage.
Responding to industry interference
Procure local legal technical assistance or provide funding to civil society organizations to support advocacy efforts.
Supporting a novel project related to your current work
Support activities related to a Partnership for Healthy Cities intervention that fall outside standard policy and project objectives, such as consultancy for project design and delivery or communication support.
