Rapid urbanisation has continued to challenge the security of life and property in many of the sprawling and unplanned cities in Africa. The concentration of vast amounts of people in often small and poorly served cities has increased demands on already poorly resourced authorities for employment opportunities, energy, housing, transport, water, basic education and healthcare.

The 10th meeting of the African Policy Circle (APC) convened to discuss the common position and provide policy solutions under the theme “Safe and Secure African Cities of the Future”. CSEA research fellow, Precious Akanonu participated in this meeting held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on the 30-31 May, 2019.
