The recent network development work in February 2014 in Nairobi, Kenya, is an extension of the developing community mobilisation model undertaken by the 2 East Africa country networks alongside INPUD while in Mombasa and along the coastal region of Kenya, during November 2013.

This network development model involves the application of a grassroots hierarchy approach placing the maskani (using sites) members who have no IT access, mobile phones, enduring chronic health issues, and the most stigmatized, as the leading and most significant members of the mobilisation. This had to be complimented and strengthened by a complete decentralization of capacity building activities from INPUD for the purposes of this project.
