Abstract
The Institute for Global Prosperity, in partnership with the Centre for Community Initiatives, is launching the Maisha Bora (‘Good Life’) Index for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The Maisha Bora Index is Africa’s first citizen-led prosperity measure co-designed over five years with citizen scientists, community members, community leaders and government officials. This working paper summarises headline findings from the Maisha Bora Index. It discusses the implications for urban governance, policy, planning, and development of co-designing new prosperity measures and strategies for action with communities to create more just and inclusive cities.
