In cities of the developed world, more jobs are being created in the financial sector and in informal management as a result of globalization, while in the developing world, trends point toward an increasing “informalization” of the urban economy, as the formal sector fails to provide adequate employment opportunities for the number of young people and adults seeking work.

|
Sida has since 2002 supported a programme aiming at introducing holistic, participatory planning methods in urban settlements on the shores of Lake Victoria, facilitated by UN-HABITAT (“City Development Strategies”, CDS). UN-HABITAT has implemented the first and second phase of the project aimed at mobilizing city authorities along Lake Victoria, and other stakeholders to develop a regional framework for laying out City Development Strategies. The first phase introduced the methodology of CDS in three cities: Kisumu (Kenya), Kampala (Uganda), and Musoma (Tanzania). The second phase extended the programme to Homa Bay (Kenya), Entebbe (Uganda) and Bukoba (Tanzania).
