About Tuwe Pamoja

Tuwe Pamoja is led by a consortium of non-governmental and community-based organisations, research institutes and regional sub-Saharan African networks. The project is led by two principal investigators committed to Tuwe's core themes of nature-based solutions, climate risk and intersectionality.

Our goal

With a name that means “Let’s be together” in Swahili, the aim of Tuwe Pamoja is to bring together city residents, government officials, NGOs, community groups and researchers from four African cities. Together, we want to strengthen the capacities of city actors to plan equitable, climate resilient nature-based solutions that centre the voices of marginalised residents in informal settlements.

Change we want to see

Methodological and technical capacities that support city actors in generating and engaging with various sources of evidence and related uncertainties.

Relational capacities that support city actors in collaboratively planning across sectors and scales.

Learning capacities that support city actors in taking adaptive actionalong climate resilient development pathways.

Capacities for collaborative planning that allow city actors to meaningfully plan orpartake in co-governance processes.
