The Cazenga Atlas

Cazenga’s 24 bairros are changing every day. Over 100 people move to Cazenga each day – about 50,000 per year. While population brings opportunities to improve the local economy, with so many new residents there is also increased pressure on basic services. The Cazenga Forum has been working to bring services to the area during this time of fast-paced growth. This atlas is a benchmark to measure progress towards the Forum’s aim of improved services for all. The Cazenga Atlas provides information about residents and the status of basic services today so in the future, residents can look back and know whether Cazenga is better off than before. In addition, it describes social programs and local institutions that are creating solutions for the problems faced by residents. Created by the Cazenga Forum in collaboration with the República de Angola, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Development Workshop.
