Impact Case Study: Linking vulnerable groups to social protection interventions in Nairobi informal settlements
The ARISE research study in the Korogocho, Viwandani and Mathare informal settlements in Nairobi found that the most vulnerable community members such as people with disabilities (PWDs), children heading households (CHH) and older persons are often invisible to government support and lack agency, causing them to miss out on essential government services, including those specifically intended for them such as social protection programs. The Ajibika project under ARISE embraced the ‘leaving no one behind’ agenda to enhance equity for vulnerable community members, amplifying their voices and making them visible.
