Yea, it is pretty similar to Map Kibera. At least in the way its described.
Even done to talking about mapping "invisible" areas. But it's not really the
same thing at all.
The thing is, the slums they are talking about was already mapped for the first
time, by Map Kibera, back in 2010, so not sure where the reporter got their
information.

Improving sanitation has been an ongoing theme.

Security is the big issue in Mathare this week. We were going to visit the Map
Mathare team, but then Mathare erupted over this.

About the other groups. Slum Dwellers uses a participatory GIS and consultative
methodology, designed over a number of years of work. They use maps for the
claiming rights of marginalized communities. I've worked with their chapter in
Dar es Salaam, extending the model to include open information as well.
The other group is an expat owned consulting company. They do not work in
OpenStreetMap, though they are aware of it.
