This report documents demographic characteristics and health conditions of Nairobi City's slum residents based
on a representative sample survey of urban informal settlement residents carried out from February to June 2000.
The aims of the "Nairobi Cross-sectional Slums Survey (NCSS)" were to determine the magnitude of the general and
health problems facing slum residents, and to compare the demographic and health profiles of slum residents to
those of residents of other urban and rural areas as depicted in the 1998 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey
(KDHS). The NCSS is probably the first comprehensive survey explicitly designed to provide demographic and health
indicators for sub-Saharan city slum residents.
