This working paper presents the findings of the study on the process that has taken place over
the past decade to turn around the city of Luanda, the capital of Angola. It is part of a broader
research project that examines the case of Luanda, alongside Johannesburg and Lagos, to
shed light on the governance practices that have started to emerge on the continent in an era
that has been marked by rapid economic growth.
Luanda has been the main beneficiary of Angola’s economic boom that started in 2002
fuelled by oil revenue. Two projects were undertaken as part of efforts to turn the city around:
the redevelopment of the Bay of Luanda and the construction of the New City of Kilamba. The
Bay of Luanda work included the redevelopment of the waterfront to create pedestrian spaces,
cycle lanes, sports fields and spaces for cultural events, while the New City of Kilamba
consisted of the construction of 710 buildings, kindergartens and schools, along with water
and electricity infrastructure.

Cortes no abastecimento de água, falta de contratos de prestação de serviço, fraca aceitação dos munícipes do projecto das 700 mil ligações domiciliares, danificação das condutas constam das dificuldades registadas pelas associações de consumidores de água.

USAID is pleased to present the seventh edition of the CSO Sustainability Index (CSOSI) for Sub-Saharan Africa. The index describes advances and setbacks in seven key dimensions of sustainability in the civil society sector in 2015—the legal environment, organizational capacity, financial viability, advocacy, service provision, infrastructure, and public image. The reports are produced by an expert panel of CSO practitioners and researchers in each country included in this year’s index. The panels assess each dimension of CSO sustainability according to key indicators and
agree on a score, which can range from 1 (most developed) to 7 (most challenged). The scores for each dimension are averaged to produce an overall sustainability score for a given country’s CSO sector. An editorial committee composed of technical and regional experts then reviews the scores and corresponding narratives with an eye to ensuring consistent approaches and standards to allow for cross-country comparisons. The scores are grouped into three overarching categories—Sustainability Enhanced (scores from 1 to 3), Sustainability Evolving (3.1-5), and Sustainability Impeded (5.1-7)—which provide additional comparative benchmarks. Further details about the methodology used to calculate scores and produce corresponding narrative reports are provided in Annex A. The index is a useful source of information for CSOs, governments, donors, academics, and others who want to better understand and monitor key aspects of CSO sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa. It complements similar indices covering countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. A publication of this type would not be possible without the contributions of many individuals and organizations. We are particularly grateful to the Aga Khan Foundation, which supported the assessments of Kenya and Mali (as well as the indices for Afghanistan and Pakistan) and our implementing partners in each country, who facilitate the expert panel meetings and write the country reports. We also thank the many CSO representatives and experts, USAID partners, and international donors who participated in the expert panels in each country. Their knowledge, perceptions, ideas, and dedication are the foundation upon which this index is based.
