The African Centre for Cities (ACC) has recently been awarded £1 974 408 from the ESRC/DfID Joint Fund for Poverty Alleviation Research (Poverty in Urban Spaces theme). The research team will be led by Prof. Vanessa Watson. The research will focus on urban poverty, specifically through the lens of food, in three secondary cities in Africa: Kisumu in Kenya, Kitwe in Zambia and Epworth in Zimbabwe. The project aims to contribute to frontier research on the articulations and remediation of poverty in urban Africa. The research is particularly innovative in its focus on food and on secondary cities. The project anticipates theoretical and applied research contributions, in addition to academic capacity development within the region and the strengthening of local government institutions. Further details of the research will follow.
