Success stories

• Map Kibera’s Security maps used by Police and Peace builders to enhance security and promote peace in the local neighborhoods.

Printed Maps were distributed to the Police, The local administration and the District Peace Committees in both locations.

• Map Kibera successfully used its methodology and tools to monitor the 2013 general elections in Kibera, Mathare and partialy in Mukuru slums reducing likelihood of violence to almost zero in these election hotspot locations.

• Since Map Kibera began focusing on dangerous or ‘black spots’ and mapping them in Kibera and Mathare, New police posts have been constructed in response.

• Kibera and Mathare slums are now open more open and accessible than before. Generated map data has made development agencies and devolved government committees enhance their intervention approaches to minimize duplication of projects and design more relevant interventions.

• Several agencies, researchers and organizations continue to approach Map Kibera for more data on various thematic subjects covered by Map Kibera’s mapping.

“Your maps have saved my life, You should do this allover the country!”
