  • Design Of The Food Hives Programme For The Informal Settlements Of Nairobi

    Design Of The Food Hives Programme For The Informal Settlements Of Nairobi

    About the job
    SecondMuse is a group of people working vigorously to better the world. It is doing this by putting people first, and boldly challenging itself to find solutions to complex issues and fearlessly introducing new ideas that may seem impossible at times. As an impact and innovation company, it has inclusive and mandate diversity in every program it pioneers — because it believes that diversity is absolutely vital in enabling innovative solutions. The organization also believes that resolutions to inequality and injustices are waiting to be found. Every day it sees talent, intellect, passion, and energy invested in developing some of the greatest inventions and technology that has and will continue to change humanity.
    For Oxfam Kenya, food systems are critical for the urban poor dwellers in informal settlements who are vulnerable to the vagaries of urban food insecurity, manifesting in high food prices. Effective food systems play a major role in redistributing food to the sections of the population that do not have access to it, in times of crises or as a basic necessity in recommended quantities, in a country where inequality is one of the highest in the world. Equitable and fair food systems present groups in the periphery of the cities such as women and youth with opportunities to create employment and earn stable incomes to keep themselves out of poverty and strengthen the resilience of cities. Food systems that work for the poor would need to have mechanisms in place to monitor and disseminate market signals whenever there is evidence of stress- food shortages, rising prices. Strengthening existing legal, policy and institutional systems for greater urban resilience, inclusive and the economic empowerment of urban dwellers especially women and youth is of strategic importance to Oxfam.
