Nairobi, Kenya – Dadaab, Kenya
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian network, whose 17 million volunteers reach 150 million people across 190 National Societies.
Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS), supported by its partners, embarked on developing infrastructure to support service delivery in the Dadaab refugee complex IFO 2. The KRCS’s involvement helped to stabilize the indicators which, at the time, were pointing to a major emergency in the camp.
Role
Resided with the Kenya Red Cross Society for one month as a fellow researching knowledge dissemination within International Center for Humanitarian Affairs and between the hospital and residents of Dadaab. Performed a desk review and interviews to describe current reality of dissemination and flows. Designed and conducted visualizations and workshops to explore and test ways to improve that dissemination. This work was used by incoming employees, fellows, and contractors to understand pre-existing work and take autonomous action more quickly and effectively.
