A Community Case study of Katwe II slum in Kampala, Uganda

Summary

Although the consequences of urbanization on diverse socio-economic groups are well documented, how to address the health and development needs of the most vulnerable children is poorly understood. To gain an in-depth understanding of the factors that contribute to poor nutrition of children among the urban poor and identify the best approaches to addressing these problems, a community case study was conducted in the Katwe II slum in Kampala, Uganda.
