Case studies and best practices
Community currencies have emerged as a tool for building more inclusive local economic development and governance.

Communities in informal settlements in Kisumu have shown interest in introducing their own community currency. Challenges remain concerning the best diffusion strategy of such grassroots monetary innovations among communities and local governments.
