1Assessing Quality of Life in African CitiesAzo iainana Tsara Ve Any Amin'ireo Tanan-dehibe Afrikana ?
2A study by The Economist Intelligence on the most liveable cities in the world (PDF of the complete report), suggests that six out of the ten least liveable cities in the world are situated in Africa.Fanadihadiana iray nataon'ny The Economist Intelligence [en] momba ireo tanàn-dehibe eran'izao tontolo izao azo iainana tsara (ny tatitra manontolo amin'ny endriny pdf) , no manolotra hoe amin'ireo tanàna 10 sarotra iainana indrindra eto ambonin'ny tany, 6 no aty Afrika.
3However, another ranking by the New Economics Foundation shows that, based on the HPI (Happy Planet Index), residents in certain African countries are happier than those in several European nations [fr].Kanefa, misy fandaharana iray hafa nataon'ny New Economics Foundation mampiseho fa araka ny tondro HPI ( Happy Planet Index ), sambatsambatra kokoa any amin'ny firenena afrikana sasantsasany noho ny any amin'ny firenena eoropeana maro.
4So where are we exactly, when it comes to urban quality of life in Africa?Raha izany, aiza ho aiza isika amin'ny famaritana ny kalitaon'ny fomba fiainana an-tanan-dehibe aty Afrika?
5Urban versus rural lifeEny an-dohasaha ny hasambarana
6As Sabine Cessou points out, the Happy Planet Index is fundamentally subjective and seems to favour African countries in terms of respect for the environment.Araka ny fanamarihan'i Sabine Cessou, ny Happy Planet Index dia somary mitongilana amin'ny resaka fananan-tany ary tahaka ny manome tombony ireo firenena afrikana manaja ny tontolo iainana.
7She states [fr]:Manamarika toy izao izy :
8The case of Madagascar is a good illustration of the peculiarity of the measurements used in the HPI.Ny momba an'i Madagasikara no maneho tsara ny mampiavaka ny fomba fandrefesana HPI.
9This country, which was plunged into a profound political and social crisis in 2009, slides a little deeper into the grips of poverty every day.Io firenena io, latsaka anaty krizy politika sy sosialy efa hatramin'ny 2009, dia mikorisa misimisy kokoa isanandro mankany anaty fahantràna.
10This scourge affects 76% of the country's population, compared with 68% in 2010, according to the OECD report on economic perspectives on Africa […] But respect for the environment and the relative optimism of its inhabitants works in favour of the island.Mahakasika 76% amin'ny mponina izany, raha 68% tamin'ny 2010, araka ny tatitra Perspectives économiques de l'Afrique an'ny OCDE [..] Saingy ny fanajàna ny tontolo iainana sy ny fomba fijery miabo ananan'ny vahoakany dia manome tombony ho an'io Nosy lehibe io.
11With a carbon footprint of just 1.2, Madagascar achieves a favourable position on the HPI, ranked between France and Austria.Miaraka aminà tahanà entona Karbona tsy misy afa-tsy 1,2, mitàna laharana ambonimbony ihany i Madagasikara ao anatin'ny fandaharan'ny HPI, eo anelanelan'i Frantsa sy Aotrisy.
12However, an overall carbon footprint of just 1.2 for the nation stands in stark contrast to that of the Madagascan capital, Antananarivo, often ranked amongst the most polluted cities in the world [fr]:Kanefa, io tahanà entona karbona 1,2 monja ho an'i Madagasikara io dia hafa ho an'Antananarivo renivohitra, izay matetika no voasokajy ho isan'ireo tanàna faran'izay maloto indrindra eto an-tany : ..
13In second position we find Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, the air of which is contaminated by lead.Eo amin'ny toerana faharoa no misy an'i Dacca, renivohitr'i Bangladesh, izay miavaka amin'ny fisian'ny firaka mandoto ny rivotra.
14The following two cities are Antananarivo and Port-au-Prince, the capitals of Madagascar and Haiti respectively, “faced with rapid population growth and ever-increasing needs for waste and water management”.Ny tanàna roa manaraka dia i Antananarivo sy Port-au-Prince, izay renivohitr'i Madagasikara iry voalohany ary an'i Haiti ilay faharoa, “miatrika fihazakazahan'ny fitombon'ny mponina haingana be sy filàna ambony be koa amin'ny fitantanana ny fako sy ny rano”.
15This video uploaded to YouTube by user WbMadagascar on 30 June, 2012, is from the World Bank in Madagascar on social protection in Madagascan cities [fr].http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=nGZjEHKW5GE Lahatsary an'ny Banky Iraisam-pirenena ao Madagasikara momba ny fiahiana ara-tsosialy any amin'ireo tanàn-dehibe Malagasy.
16The video depicts the daily hardships that the malagasy population is facing while they transition from the rural to the urban areas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?Tahaka izany no zava-mifanohitra iainana isanandro ao Afrika; tanàn-dehibe ao anatin'ny firoboroboana tanteraka na eo aza ny tandra vadin-koditry ny fahantrana, voahodidin'ny hàbaka voajanahary miavosa izay mametraka ho eny anoloan'ny sehatra ny hany fifangarihan'ny fiainana ambanivohitra sy ny an-tanàn-dehibe.
17v=nGZjEHKW5GE Such is the paradox of life in Africa; urban capitals in full expansion despite endemic poverty, surrounded by abundant natural spaces, which cast into especially sharp relief the unique contrast between rural and urban life.Araka izany, ao Namibia, Antoine Galindo manoritsoritra ny toe-java-misy izay ho mora amin'ireo mponina marobe any amin'ireo renivohitra afrikana ny hamantatra azy :

20The state of affairs in Namibia [fr], as described below by Antoine Galindo, is one which the residents of several African cities would recognise:Ivelan'ireo tanàna be olona, mitoetra ho milamina ny firenena ary ankafizina noho ireo tontolo mahavariana sy maro loko ananany.
21It's principally this type of violence that the various ministries are issuing warnings about. These thefts can sometimes occur alongside physical attacks in larger cities.Fa fotsiny, noho ny tsy fandriampahalemana izay manjaka hatrany eny amin'ireo arabe eny an-drenivohitra, mihisatra ny fizahantany, ary zara raha misy ny fahatongavan'ireo vahiny.
22Outside urban areas, the country remains calm, popular for its spectacular and richly varied landscapes.Ny tanànan'i Windhoek ao Namibie, avy amin'i Bries ao amin'ny Wikipédia.
23Still, due to the insecurity which continues on the streets of the capital, tourism is making little headway, and the influx of foreign visitors remains weak.

25Amel Bouzidi analyses the study conducted by The Economist Intelligence, noting the following [fr] about Algeria:Fitomboan'ny olana ara-poto-drafitrasa ho an'ireo tanàn-dehibe afrikana Mandalina ny tatitry ny The Economist Intelligence i Amel Bouzidi.
26Of the 140 cities put to the test, Algiers came in in 135th, behind Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), Tehran (Iran), Douala (Cameroon) and Tripoli (Libya).Momba an'i Alzeria, dia manamarika izy hoe : Amin'ireo tanàna 140 nojerena akaiky, any amin'ny laharana faha-135 i Alger, aorian'i Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), Teheran (Iran), Douala (Kamerona) ary Tripoli (Libia).
27Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital, came in last.Dacca, renivohitr'i Bandgladesh, no manakatona ny laharana.
28The poor ranking of the Algerian capital with a population of over three million comes as little surprise.Tsy atao mahagaga ny laharana ratsy misy ny renivohitra alzeriana, izay misy vahoaka maherin'ny 3 tapitrisa.
29Algiers lacks leisure spaces, its cinemas can be counted on one hand, traffic is terrible and its residents complain of the filthiness of its streets.Tsy manana toerana fialamboly i Alger, azo isaina amin'ny rantsan-tànana folo ireo efitrano fandefasana sarimihetsika, mahatsiravina ny fifamoivoizan'ny fiara ao ary mitaraina ny mponina amin'ny loton'ny sisin-dàlana.
30Added to all this are the frequent cuts in the power and water supply.Amin'izao fotoana dia manampy ireo rehetra ireo ny fahatapatapahana matetiky ny herinaratra sy ny rano fisotro.
31In Douala, Cameroon, power cuts are one of the symptoms of a dire economic situation [fr].Ao Douala, soritry ny zava-misy ara-toekarena mahatsiravina ireo fahatapatapahan'ny herinaratra.
32Global Voices contributor Julie Owono describes a state of affairs in which the country's infrastructure cannot keep up with its rapidly increasing population:Manoritsoritra ny zava-misy izay tsy aharahan'ny foto-drafitrasa misy ao amin'ny firenena ny fitomboana betsaky ny mponina i Julie Owono :
33According to certain estimates, just 20% of the Cameroonian population has access to a regular electricity supply.Araka ny tombantombana sasany, 20% monja amin'ny mponina ao Kamerona no afaka mahazo famatsiana herinaratra ara-dalàna.
34In fact, those who have access to electricity are accustomed to power cuts every three days.Mikasika izay, ireo izay afaka manana herinaratra dia manomboka mahita fahatapatapahana isaky ny telo andro.
35Electricity is also becoming more and more costly for the rest of the country's citizens.Lafo dia lafo ihany koa ny herinaratra ho an'ny ankamaroan'ny olom-pirenena.
36The private provider, AES Sonel, for example, recently announced a 7% rise in prices starting June 1st, 2012.Ny AES Sonel, mpamatsy tsy mainkina, ohatra, dia nanambàra tsy ela akory izay, fisondrotam-bidy 7% nanomboka ny 01 Jona 2012.
37Rapid changes to quality of life in urban areasFivoarana nalaky be tamin'ny kalitaon'ny fiainana an-tanàn-dehibe
38The urban quality of life study also shows that the rankings are susceptible to rapid change.Ny fanadihadiana mikasika ny kalitaon'ny fiainana an-tanàn-dehibe dia nampiseho koa fa mety hiova malaky be ilay fandaharana.
39One of the criteria taken into account, the city's economic power, sees three Chinese cities dominate the list.Singa iray tafiditra amin'ny fanomezana laharana, ny tanjaka ara-toekaren'ilay tanàna, tanàn-dehibe Shinoa telo no mibahana ny loha-laharana.
40The report explains that other criteria such as the efficiency of its institutions, human capital, cultural attractions, and the financial maturity of the cities weigh more heavily in the balance.Ilay tatitra dia manazava fa manana ny lanjany betsaka amin'ny fandanjàna ihany ireo fepetra hafa toy ny fahaiza-manaon'ireo andrim-panjakana, ny harena ara-olona, ny zava-mahasarika ara-kolontsaina ary ny fahamatorana ara-bolan'ireo tanàn-dehibe.
41Looking to the future, the report suggests certain points of improvement that cities in emergent countries (including African cities) must accomplish to improve their position in the rankings:Amin'ny vinan'ny hoavy, ilay tatitra dia manolotra fanatsaràna vitsivitsy izay tsy maintsy tratrarin'ireo tanàn-dehibe any amin'ireo firenena vao misonga (dia ireo tanàn-dehibe ao Afrika) mba hiakarany ao anatin'ilay filaharana [en]:
42The rise of emerging markets will likely make a number of largely unknown cities rather more prominent by 2020.Ny firoboroboan'ireo tsena vao mimpongatra dia hametraka eny alohan'ny sehatra, amin'ny taona 2020, tanàn-dehibe izay tsy mbola fantatra ny ankamaroany.
43Bandung, Hangzhou, Lagos and Lima, for example, all feature growth rates of 6% or higher, but are familiar to few outside of their home countries today.Bandung, Hangzhou, Lagos sy Lima, ohatra, dia manana taham-pitomboana 6% na mihoatra, nefa mbola olona vitsy amin'ireo miaina ivelan'ireo firenena ireo no mahalala azy amin'izao fotoana.
44That will change.Hiova izany.
45A key question is the speed with which this will happen [..]Ny hafainganan'ny hahatongavan'izany no fanontaniana fototra [..]
46To do so, they need to adapt their investment attraction policies, but this in turn requires more fundamental shifts.Ho fanatanterahana azy io, mila mampifanaraka ny politikam-pisarihana any aminy ireny firenena ireny mba hisarihana ireo mpampiasa vola, nefa izany dia tsy isalasalàna fa hitaky fanovàna goavana amin'ny tetikadin-dry zareo.
47“They have a good stock of infrastructure, but it's highly polluted and there are no public spaces and things like this.«Matetika ireny tanàn-dehibe ireny no manana foto-drafitrasa tsara, saingy matetika koa ireny tanàn-dehibe ireny no tena maloto sady tsy misy toerana natao ho an'ny daholobe na kianja mitovitovy amin'izany.
48They now understand that they have to move to something more qualitative.”[Mba ho toerana mahasarika kokoa,] takatr'ireny tanàn-dehibe ireny ankehitriny fa tsy maintsy manolotra tohan-kevitra tsara kalitao kokoa ry zareo (ho fanampin'ny firoboroboany ara-toekarena).
