Launched at the United Nations in 2015, Strong Cities is an independent global network of more than 220 cities and other local governments dedicated to addressing all forms of hate, extremism and polarisation at a local level.
The Head of the Western Balkans Regional Hub will lead engagement with mayors and cities, as well as other relevant partners including national governments, multilateral and civil society organisations and donors, fostering strong and effective relationships to deliver the Strong Cities mission. The role will lead coordination and implementation of an annual workplan, build high-level strategic partnerships and strong relationships with relevant stakeholders and partner institutions in the region, and lead ongoing development and sustainability efforts. Overall, the role will ensure that the Network’s strategy and activities are driven by – and ultimately responds to – the needs and gaps that cities themselves identify in their ability to prevent hate, violent extremism and polarisation at local levels.
