Viwandani is an informal settlement (known locally as a "slum") in the city of Nairobi, Kenya.
[2] Viwandani is one of two informal settlements included in the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NUHDSS) operated by the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) since 2002.

It is the source for numerous research publications indexed on the APHRC website.
