Yes it is an alkali.
Baking powder is an alkali Actually baking powder is a blend of both acid and alkali. It generally contains acids such as calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate or cream of tartar and the alkali sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda. It's due to this blend that, after coming into contact with a liquid it is able to create carbon dioxide bubbles which are used as for leavening in baking.
Bicarbonate of soda (aka sodium bicarbonate) is the alkaline that is found in commercial baking powder along with the inert ingredient corn starch primarily used to absorb moisture and prolong shelf life and an acid which can be either fast acting, slow acting or (for most commercial baking powder) both to create a "double acting" baking powder.
Baking Soda is definitely not an Acid, so it is an Alkali
