Audio slideshow: On the map
18 January 2011 Last updated at 00:20 GMT Until recently, what is often billed as one of Africa's largest slums - Kibera, in the Kenyan capital Nairobi - was a blank spot on official maps. But a group of volunteers have been training young people living there to create their own digital map of the area. The result is the first complete map of Kibera, which it is hoped can form the basis of plans to improve the area and the lives of its residents.

Future of Health: Map Kibera Creates An Infrastructure For Health Care @PSFK
As part of the Future of Health report published last week, we interviewed key innovators during our research to illuminate ideas and innovation developing in healthcare. Map Kibera is an open-source project started in 2009 in response to the lack of information available for the Kibera district of Nairobi, Kenya – one of the world’s largest slums. The majority of Nairobi is geographically documented for health, education, and sanitation purposes, but these basic requirements are neglected without any mapping to guide the municipal infrastructure.
