Abstract: Abstract Currently, the role of civic participation in welfare provisioning is highly lauded by donor agencies in an environment of liberalization, privatization and globalization. But how does civic participation actually work? Who participates? How is popular support mobilized? What kinds of collective undertakings are pursued? Who actually benefits? Are there added benefits? What unforeseen problems are encountered? Is civic participation sustainable over time? This chapter explores the opportunities and pitfalls of urban welfare provisioning through civic participation in Dar es Salaam.
