Abstract

This report provides an overview of Action Against Covid-19 Transmission in Nairobi (ACT Nairobi), a community-based, participatory public health project in an informal settlement of the city. The project sought to leverage citizen science and creative forms of expression to help combat misinformation about Covid-19, and encourage residents to take feasible steps to help reduce the spread of the virus.
