Future Health Systems Research Validation Workshop
22 November 2018
The Sierra Leone Urban Research Centre looks forward to welcoming participants of the recent study of living conditions in informal settlements and their impact on health, to our research validation workshop tomorrow (Thursday 22nd November 2018).
Attendees will include representatives and health workers from the four Freetown seaside and hillside communities who participated in the study – Cockle Bay, Portee-Rokupa, Dwarzark and Moyiba - as well as participants from Freetown City Council, the Ministry of Lands, Country Planning and the Environment, and Ministry of Health and Sanitation.
SLURC team members will present the findings of the research, and facilitate a participatory workshop to validate these findings before they are consolidated into a report. The workshop is also an opportunity for various actors to come together and discuss the many issues that impact health in Freetown’s informal settlements from their own perspectives and establish common ground.
This work forms part of SLURC’s Future Health Health Systems (FHS) research project, in partnership with John Hopkins University (JHU) in Baltimore, USA, and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), University of Sussex, UK and funded by DFID. For more information on this, please click here.
