Organizational Context

ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability is a leading global network of 2500+ cities, towns and regions committed to building a sustainable future. ICLEI works with local governments through international performance-based, results-oriented campaigns and programs. In its result-based approach, ICLEI brings cities around the world together to build partnerships and share techniques to promote participation and the effectiveness of environmental protection through local-level initiatives. ICLEI's South Asia Secretariat operates from New Delhi, India.

Engagement with cities is enabled through project offices located across cities and states in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. With a membership base of over 70 cities, ICLEI South Asia offers a wide range of technical services, support and customized methodologies on sustainable urban development, climate change, energy through donor funded programs and projects. ICLEI South Asia helps cities strengthen their technical capacity, improve awareness of sustainability issues among elected representatives, administrators and citizens, provide information, and develop a greater capacity for cities to deliver basic services in the most sustainable manner. ICLEI’s substantive focusis helping cities build and share solutions to the challenges of:

• Climate Change
• Water and Air Pollution
• Waste Management
• Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
• Built Environment
• Clean Transport

Data Analytics & Modelling

• Collect, analyse, and visualize multimodal mobility data (traffic, public transit, micro-mobility, freight flows).
• Conduct geospatial and network analysis to identify gaps in accessibility, charging infrastructure, and freight logistics hubs.
• Simulate passenger & freight flows to optimize fleet operations, route planning, and charging strategies.

E-Mobility Strategy (Passenger & Freight)

• Support planning of EV charging networks (public, private, fast-charging, depot-based).
• Evaluate electrification pathways for public transport, shared mobility fleets, and logistics operators.
• Assess economic, social, and environmental impacts of e-mobility transition.
• Provide strategic insights into last-mile delivery electrification and urban logistics hubs.

Policy, Planning & Decision Support

• Translate complex analytics into actionable recommendations for government agencies, urban planners, and private operators.
• Contribute to sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs), climate action strategies, and freight masterplans.
• Develop KPIs to track electrification progress (uptake, charging accessibility, emissions reduction, equity impacts).
