Day 3 | SDI East Africa Hub – Nakuru, Kenya 🇰🇪
The energy was high and the reflections deep. Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania continued building collective power through dialogue, learning, and community!

🔑 Highlights:
✅ Savings at the center the lifeblood of our movement. ✅ Lindiwe Mahlale, Learning, Monitoring and Evaluation lead @sdi_net unpacked our unique Learning, Monitoring & Evaluation framework rooted in grassroots impact. ✅ Powerful sessions on UPFI, storytelling & amplifying community voices. ✅ Field visit to Nakuru West & Greenfield housing projects proof that savings + resilience = transformation, even after climate shocks.

As we closed Day 3, a shared spirit of solidarity, innovation & purpose was undeniable. 3 joint priorities set. Next stop? Action & accountability.

🙌🏾 Great to see the East African Learning Hub kick off today!

💡 At SDI, peer-to-peer learning is at the heart of sharing knowledge across federations to co-produce real solutions for slum upgrading, bridging the gap between policy and action in the cities of the Global South.
