ARISE: Accountability and Responsiveness in Informal Settlements for Equity
About this project
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is pioneering an ambitious new approach to tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges through a £200M investment across 12 global research Hubs. These interdisciplinary Hubs will work across 85 countries with governments, international agencies, partners and NGOs to develop creative and sustainable solutions which help make the world, and the UK, safer, healthier and more prosperous.
The GCRF Accountability for Informal Urban Equity Hub (ARISE) will support precarious and marginalised people to claim their right to health. It will build government accountability and capacity to provide citizens with security and services. ARISE brings together ten partners who will work with disadvantaged people in informal settlements and government in Sierra Leone, Bangladesh, Kenya and India.
By sharing experiences across four countries we will shape national and global policies and best practices through evidence-based advocacy. ARISE will conduct research with people who live in informal settlement to understand their experiences of daily life, health and well-being, and efforts to access services and influence policies.
