The City of Medellin is awarded for the successful implementation of three programmes to reduce urban poverty, provide health care for children and give citizens a say in urban services. The poverty reduction programme has targeted 40,000 of the city's poorest households. The health programme ensures that all of five and below have institutional, paediatric health care, while the third programme seeks to consistently survey the impact of city services to ensure that decisions taken have the right impact in the right areas.
