Joe Muturi is president of the SDI Network, a social activist, and leader of Muungano wa Wanavijiji, the national federation of slum dwellers in Kenya. Muungano is the largest social movement in Kenya, which for over 20 years has campaigned against forced evictions and in support of secure tenure and improved services for Kenya’s poor communities.
He talks to Rachel this week about urban politics, putting communities and their expertise at the center, and more.
We recorded this episode in person, so you may hear some extra background noises and movement this week.
