Constraints on Neighbourhood Activism
This paper tries to explain why community action and partnering in services upgrading in Nakuru, Kenya, has only produced very modest results. Although inhabitants feel connected to their neighbourhood, they do not automatically translate their attachment into concrete action to improve liveability.

The strengths and weaknesses of the new partnerships are tested using a set of c…
