Listen: SDI Kenya's Jack Makau & Charity Mumbi discuss Muungano's Covid-19 response on the Global Development Institute podcast
Charity Mumbi and Jack Makau work for SDI Kenya, which works for Muungano wa Wanavijiji, the social movement of 'slum' residents and urban poor people in Kenya, affiliated to SDI International. In this podcast they describe the last few months of working through the initial outbreak of Covid-19, outlining how communities and their organisations have been responding.
Their agile initial approaches, alongside a longstanding ability to accurately map dense informal settlements has led to new partnerships with the Kenyan Ministry of Health, as part of its coronavirus task force. This work is also being supported by an action research project to track coronavirus responses with GDI’s Professor Diana Mitlin.
