In a drive to better understand urbanization processes in Sub-Saharan Africa, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) supported research to address knowledge gaps, particularly related to the ‘just city’ pillars: dignity, rights and responsibilities, equity and diversity, and democracy – as well as opportunities for the ‘urban poor’ to influence urban policy. In Tanzania, the baseline survey was conducted by REPOA in April 2021. The survey used a similar questionnaire administered in Kenya, Uganda, and Senegal, with a few country-specific questions. The data were collected from 2,014 respondents:
- In five districts of Dar es Salaam region, i.e., Ilala, Kigamboni, Kinondoni, Temeke, and Ubungo, representing urban areas
- In Karatu district/ Arusha region and Makete district/ Njombe region, representing rural areas
The research focused on three domains of urbanization: i) Transformation of cities ii) Public services iii) Political participation
