Overview As part of the masters’ course programme in collaboration with ArkomJogJa, a community architects organisation and Kalijawi, a network of women savings group.

I was a key team actor not only for facilitating our team discussions and encouraging co-operation, but also by coleading participatory mapping activities, semi-structure interviews and co-developing an accurate diagnosis and the planning strategies. The findings were presented to different audiences, as government authorities, academics, international development organisations, civil society organisations and community members.
