Sustainable Eco-Cities

One of the main programs of the State Of the African Diaspora (SOAD) is to build sustainable-eco cities in Africa and the Diaspora.  As a matter of fact, since 2022, more than 50% of the African population lives in cities, but not all the infrastructure is in place to serve all this population. Therefore, 60% of this urban population actually lives in slums.

The State of the African Diaspora is in the process of building sustainable-eco cities in Africa, and also in the Diaspora. So far, 25 cooperation agreements have been signed to build cities in countries such as Botsawana, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire DRC, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo, etc.

These cities are based upon 3 pillars :

– new technologies

– sustainable development (our commitment to the 17+ SDGs and for climate justice)

– a Pan-African identity (each one will have a particular identity, that shall be celebrated)
