Urban SHADE (Strengthened health service delivery and resilience in informal urban space in the context of extreme weather events).
The Urban SHADE research project, jointly led by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM, UK) and The George Institute for Global Health, India, is a global study conducted across ten informal settlements in India, Kenya, and Sierra Leone. In Freetown, Sierra Leone, the research is implemented by SLURC in Moyiba, and by local partners CODOHSAPA and IGCHR in the Crab Town, Kolleh Town, Gray Bush (CKG) cluster, and Susan’s Bay. This collaborative initiative addresses critical urban health and development challenges within informal settlements.
