Our presenter caught up with him in London, at DFID's headquarters ahead of the visit of the new Secretary of State, Penny Mordaunt, to Northern Kenya.

This episode is all about money, hustling and superfans. It was recorded between Kenya's 2017 national elections and the 2017 presidential rerun.

The episode includes interviews with three Shujaaz superfans in Western Kenya, who explain how their hustles connect them to young people.

Terrorists use spectacular moments of death and destruction to create division and fracture communities. But can public art create equally spectacular moments of beauty and love, that can heal division and unite communities? This episode focuses on three “social practice art” projects, which linked people together as participants of a common experience and created a collective reconsideration of an urban environment by ‘invading’ the public space. In Kabul, 130 youth volunteers handed out 10,000 pink helium filled balloons on an ordinary Monday morning. In Johannesburg, the decaying empty buildings of the central business district were made to ‘cry’ hot pink paint from their broken windows. In Nairobi and the coastal Kenyan town of Likoni, people painted each other’s house of worship bright yellow, as an act of love. To see photos of the projects, see: http://www.welltoldstory.com/how-spectacular-public-art-can-heal-division-and-unite-communities/ Featuring: Nabila Alibhai, from our Well Made Strategy consulting team Produced by: Stephanie Boy

This episode focuses on 'audience segmentation' of young people (15-24 year olds) in Kenya, ahead of the 2017 national elections. We discuss why 'youth' is not a homogeneous group and discuss five 'audience segments' that we found when we asked young people in Kenya about their relationship to politics, governance and voting.
