01 / CASE ARCHIVE

Work we've done. Systems that are still running.

Resilience is not a project; it is a permanent infrastructure of adaptability. We document our history to prove that sustainable systems outlast their funding cycles.

FEATURED CASE: MATHARE, NAIROBI

Context

A high-density informal settlement facing recurring seasonal flooding and systemic infrastructure gaps. Previous interventions had failed due to a lack of local ownership and maintenance frameworks.

Core Approach

  • / Participatory mapping of informal drainage networks.
  • / Establishment of Community Resilience Committees (CRCs).
  • / Hybrid governance models linking CRCs to municipal authorities.

"Before IRSC, mapping was something done to us by outsiders. Now, we own the data. When the rains come, our committees don't wait for a phone call—they already have the protocol in hand."
