As we shall discuss in this research brief, this entails not only having access to financial resources but also public and private leaders sharing the same views. The case of the now aborted Sustainable Mwanza Project, a squatter upgrading scheme initially supported by DANIDA, illustrates how political ambitions and competition for funds may become an obstacle for genuine partnership.”
