Environment and Urbanization 34(2), Oct, 2022: p.349-371 In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, small-scale and everyday disasters are a manifestation of the multidimensional inequalities faced by residents of informal settlements. The co-production of knowledge about disaster and other risks, bringing together residents with local NGOs and local government representatives, is a potential entry point for addressing inequalities. This paper reports on such a co-production process in two informal settlements, carried out by the Centre for Community Initiatives with the Tanzania Urban Poor Federation and local government at the Mtaa level, and it looks at how community assessments of risks travel into local governance and policymaking. The involvement of Mtaa officials in this process has led to incremental changes in local governance, for example better linking of local budgets with disaster risk reduction (DRR) priorities and the representation of civil society on the municipal disaster management committees. The paper also points to the challenges of achieving integration of DRR and development activities at the local level. – Reproduced Africa, Community, Co-production, Disaster risk reduction, Informality, Participation, Tanzania, Urban equality. 36177 Environment and Urbanization DISASTER MANAGEMENT AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 396579 IIPA IIPA 2023-03-01 34(2), Oct, 2022: p.349-371 AR128164 2023-03-01 AR
