It was designed under Cities Alliance’s programme on Land, Services and Citizenship (LSC) to create inclusive and resilient cities without slums, enabling the proactive management of urban growth.
Slum dwellers make up 70% of Greater Monrovia's population. The Liberia Country Programme will bring them into the national development process and improve living and working conditions for the poor.
The toolkit is a simple, user-friendly, flexible tool to help mayors understand what equitable economic growth means for their city, and what kind of opportunities and constraints exist.
The toolkit is a practical, step-by-step guide for local government officials that compiles basic data, system, resources and security needs so that cities can plan and govern more effectively.
