dc.description.abstract | The pandemic has led to rising precarity and has exacerbated several
human rights violations in Nairobi’s informal settlements, including
unemployment, food insecurity, sexual and gender-based violence, police
brutality and other socioeconomic concerns. Grassroots groups have
collaborated to address these challenges by developing arts-based
strategies, mutual care and bottom-up knowledge generation. Our project
has explored these community-led responses to COVID-19 in Nairobi’s
informal settlement of Mathare and asked how the pandemic may
encourage more equitable development trajectories to address multiple
risks. The initiative has generated valuable risk data from Mathare to
inform future interventions, while simultaneously strengthening relations
with local decision makers and other grassroots organisations. | en |
