These concepts all aim to facilitate digital growth in communities using different strategies. They have been applied in designing a digital hub for Mathare, with the goal of creating a model that can be replicated in other informal settlements.
The community pointed out that their digital needs were access to information, CBC learning, digital literacy and online marketing as well as accessing social media and other entertainment sites.
Participants discussed ways of tackling research waste, which predominantly included community engagement from research conceptualization to dissemination and openly sharing data and research outputs with the community and other stakeholders in the Mathare.
The Ecotreat waste digester is a microorganism based product that breaks down different kinds of waste: human solid waste, animal waste, vegetable gums, fats, complex proteins, oils, and greases as well as cellulose (tissue paper) and starches at an accelerated rate.
The workshop provided an avenue for cross-pollination and inter-city learning through presentations and participatory design sessions.
From the forum, it was apparent that people across different socio-economic divides and geographical regions had different views and opinions regarding electric cooking.
