All the UFI will be in Dakar from 6 to 10 December 2021 for the first multi-stakeholder exchange and capitalisation meeting organised by the UFI network!

On Friday 1 October 2021, the network of urban nurseries organised an exchange between the Abidjan and Dakar nurseries and the Fabrique Collective, an association set up in 2020 by students after an initial trip to Douala in 2019, during which a project to develop the area around the Kondi drain was drawn up in conjunction with the Douala Urban Community and the Agence française de développement.

A new urban nursery will be built in Nairobi, Kenya, as part of the KISIP phase 2 urban restructuring project. KISIP is a project to rehabilitate shanty towns in 15 Kenyan cities, with the aim of improving living conditions for residents by financing infrastructure and improving services.

In the spring semester of 2021, students from three Master's degrees at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) "Innovation, Human Development and Sustainability", "Territorial Development" and "African Studies", took part in the English-language workshop Urban Futures, dedicated to innovative urban planning.

Peer-to-peer learning, capitalising on and co-constructing knowledge necessarily involves meetings between project leaders and visits to urban incubator sites.
