Vulnerability Consultation Meetings

From Map Kibera

Vulnerability Consultation Meeting #1, Kibera, 20100415

Attending: Map Kibera KIKOSHOP Kibera Peace and Development Netowkr Kibera Slum Education Program Youth Development Forum PSI Kenyatta Hospital Kibera Shelter Women's Empowerment Network

networking of all groups involved in vulnerability and gender based violence. two interesting outputs. first, service providers are making who should be responsding to what at what time (particularly after 5) ? Once they have this flow chart complete, they are interested in possibility of leveraging SMS for instant response. Good contacts at Kenyatta Hospital which are trying to improve response. Map Kibera introduced project and all were keen to use a map of hot spots in the community, though did not have any insight immediately into how exactly to collect that data.

Vulnerability Consultation Meeting #2, UNICEF, 20100416

Attending: Josh, UNICEF Jonna Carlsson, UNICEF- Kenya Child Protection

looked through National Violence Survey, in consultation with Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. Decided focused a bit too much on specific personal experiences (have you ever paid for sex? have you ever been raped?). Map Kibera strategic advantage perhaps more along lines of (where do you feel safe? Where do people go to pay for sex? is it common? where do you parents tell you not to go?) and perhaps combined and parced together with results of national violence survey. Recommended we get in touch with National Bureauof Statistics guy, and will continue to brainstorm questions.

overall collecting data and stories on community/service providers in the field of HIV, public health through mapping and community consultation, and empowerment of community owned means to express needs.
