Personal profile

Overview

Kibui Edwin Rwigi is a PhD researcher at the Global Development Institute, University of Manchester. He holds a master’s degree in development studies from the Institute for Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Nairobi. He has close to a decade of experience implementing and managing programmes in non-profit, civil society, and research settings in Nairobi, Kenya. In his recent research work, Kibui was part of the ‘Towards inclusive partnerships: the political role of community based organisations and the official development aid system’ project, which was supported by NWO-WOTRO and Include Knowledge Platform. The project interrogated how Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in Nairobi are linked and integrated into aid chains in the ODA system and explored how these linkages shape the everyday dynamics and practices of CBOs in relation to the ‘communities’ in which they are embedded. Kibui's research interests revolve around social policy and participatory governance in urban margins, specifically the micro-politics of informal settlements and their influence on co-produced urban services.
