🔵Advancing the #RightToTheCity in #Africa , with #Commoning as a Tool

We’re looking forward to joining today’s session to share a bit about our work together with the Nigerian Slum / Informal Settlement Federation to advance security of tenure for residents of urban informal settlements through popular/collective processes
