Mathare Digital Hub project (Eng sub)
Tens of billions of dollars are lost yearly due to ineffective research in poor areas. The growth of informal settlements and the increasing urban population in East Asia and Africa have heightened interest in research among low-income urban communities. In Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, there are over 100 informal settlements, which leads to an increase in inadequate research that does not promote social transformation. There is another way. Community researchers from Mathare, Kenya, and researchers from Erasmus University Rotterdam share their experiences to enhance social benefits.
