Updated in 2025 to include our new tool on actions and indicators for integrating climate adaptation and mitigation into urban food policies.
The Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP) Monitoring Framework Handbook and Resource Pack, developed by RUAF and FAO and launched with MUFPP Secretariat, offers a set of tools and resources that help any city in the world to develop a way of measuring progress of their own priorities against clear baselines. It provides practical steps, simple tools, top tips and resources. The purpose of the monitoring framework is to make it easier for cities to both identify priorities and keep track of and report on yearly achievements.
The Handbook is based on the results and lessons learned from three pilot cities – Antananarivo (Madagascar), Nairobi (Kenya) and Quito (Ecuador) – which implemented the MUFPP Monitoring Framework over a seven-month project in 2019, with technical support from RUAF and FAO.
In 2025, we extended the framework to include updated and newly developed MUFPP actions and indicators, designed to help cities more effectively integrate climate mitigation and adaptation into urban food policies. Drawing from the Barcelona Challenge for Good Food and Climate (BCGFC) and other sustainability frameworks, these are flexible, voluntary recommendations that cities can adapt to their own contexts – a complementary resource for addressing the interconnected challenges of food security and climate change.
