In 2015, the government of Tanzania launched the Dar es Salaam Metropolitan Development Project (DMDP) to expand the economy and increase the emergency response capacity of the city by improving key urban services and institutional management. Environmental considerations played a major role in the project, in keeping with QII.3. It assessed ecosystem-based interventions in low-income communities to ensure that the construction of urban infrastructure would not harm the environment. Nearly 2 million people in Dar es Salaam will benefit from better roads, facilities, and community upgrades.
