Data that is generated and owned by residents of informal settlements provides a basis for making the risks facing these neighbourhoods more visible to city planners, and for enabling collaboration between a range of urban stakeholders . In Freetown, this process has been led by the Federation of the Urban and Rural Poor  and the Centre for Dialogue on Human Settlement and Poverty Alleviation . The FEDURP belongs to the global Slum Dwellers International network, committed to empowering poor residents in urban spaces, and has a presence in several other African cities . With the support of CODOHSAPA, FEDURP coordinates community development committees  and community disaster management committees  in nearly all the informal settlements in the city. Both CODOHSAPA and FEDURP
