ABSTRACT

We organized ourselves in various ways, using the toolkits described above, to begin to understand something of the problems and opportunities in our settlement. At first, we role play – each group designated an expert task – the housers, health workers, solid waste managers, enterprise and small business entrepreneurs, land rights and tenure, water, sanitation. The exercise is blandly called ‘Getting Information’. Each group is asked in respect to its expertise – what information do you need? Why do you need it? How will you get it? How will you use it once you have got it? The exercise has four objectives.
