Communication on the prevention and management of COVID-19 needs to borrow a leaf from the lessons learned in dealing with HIV, eschewing fear-mongering and stigmatization and instead focusing on the social and behavioral change that will help us to contain the spread of the coronavirus even as science seeks a remedy.

This podcast is hosted by Oby Obyerodhyambo, a strategic thinker, innovative and creative concepts creator, and focused implementer seeking to make an impact sustainably.

Oby Obyerodhyambo looks at our cities and whether they are truly African cities. 60 years later can we say that our cities are Africa-centric and remnants of colonial designs? Are we making efforts to Africanize these areas?

Kinara's piece on this episode almost connects to Oby's as he talks of our towns having identities. He covers how and why we need to make towns uniquely recognizable.

The transition is a poem from the series Fikira Zangu by Bonyo Buogha.
