Zanzibar, Tanzania - His Highness the Aga Khan, Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismaili Muslims and Zanzibar's Chief Minister Shamsi Vuai Nahodha today signed an Agreement of Co-operation to initiate a comprehensive urban rehabilitation proposal for the Seafront Area of Zanzibar's Stone Town, after a private meeting with President Amani Abeid Karume. The Seafront Area, characterised by many historic buildings and public open spaces, is one of the most culturally and economically significant parts of the Stone Town, itself recently recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Under the landmark initiative, the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) envisages an important contribution to improving maintenance of urban heritage that has suffered considerable decay as well as to bettering the quality of life for the inhabitants of the Stone Town and the island as a whole.
