The Metropolitan Development Project in the districts of Dar es Salaam

The Dar es Salaam Metropolitan Development Project (DMDP), financed by the World Bank, saw Lattanzio KIBS support the Kinondoni Municipality PIU as a beneficiary district of the sub-projects under the urban development programme. The Project was implemented in three districts of Dar es Salaam (Ilala, Kinondoni and Temeke) and provided for the infrastructural development, as well as improved services, of the areas covered by the DMDP.

For the implementation of the funded sub-projects in the Municipality of Kinondoni, the team provided specific assistance and capacity building on technical aspects in issues such as resettlement, environment, impact assessments.

Project Pluses

Involvement in this metropolitan development project had the undeniable advantage of providing the Lattanzio team with a further update of expertise in local, metropolitan and environmental development. It also gave the experts the opportunity to confront themselves in a developing context, contributing to the efficiency of district services for the population of Dar es Salaam.
