Résumé

Le point de départ de cet article est la reconnaissance que l’Afrique urbaine est confrontée à un ensemble de défis économiques, sociaux, politiques et infrastructurels suffisamment spécifiques à son contexte pour justifier son propre échantillon (jusqu’ici modeste) de feuilles de route de localisation des objectifs de développement durable (ODD). S’appuyant sur des recherches comparatives sur le terrain au Caire et à Dar es Salaam, et se focalisant sur l’ODD 6 (eau et assainissement) et l’ODD 11.2 (mobilité), le document développe une méthodologie de recherche qui aide à détecter les lacunes entre le cadre général des ODD et les réalités microscopiques. Sur le terrain dans les villes africaines. Bien que chacune des deux villes ait un ensemble spécifique de réalités urbaines et de paradigmes de développement, le document développe un processus de localisation applicable dans les deux zones géographiques (et au-delà) sur la base de la similarité de l’informalité urbaine dans les villes africaines, que le cadre actuel des ODD aborde insuffisamment ou, parfois, de manière inexacte. La méthodologie comprend trois éléments clés : 1) une analyse politique descendante des réponses aux ODD aux niveaux national et de la ville ; 2) une recherche sur le terrain fondée sur les pratiques locales au niveau du quartier ; et 3) une révision des cibles et des indicateurs des ODD par le biais d’une proposition de « boîte à outils pour la localisation ».
