Our management
Healthy Cities for Adolescents (HCA) is managed by an intermediary organisation on behalf of Fondation Botnar
Phase I (2018–2022) was managed by the International Society for Urban Health. Phase II (2022–2026) is managed by Ecorys. Our management team for Phase II is known as the HCA Global Team.
The HCA Global Team works closely with Fondation Botnar to ensure strategic alignment and ongoing exchange of ideas and approaches. The HCA Global Team also works together with grantees to promote impactful projects and generate evidence and learning that will increase impact and benefit the wider sector.
HCA Global Team
The HCA Global Team consists of Ecorys staff, consultants and partners based in the UK, Europe and Australia. Each of the six target countries has an In-Country Advisor who offers contextual insights and in-person support to projects.
