This experience has been implemented by two public universities, Universidade da Coruña (Spain) and Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (Mozambique) -one at the global north and another at the south with the aim to learn/research thorough a citizen’s service. And this will happen while improving the conditions of self built neighborhoods of a sub-Saharan city. There are two parallel objectives in this LS experience: to learn what the self-managed city has to offer to academicians and bring to deprived dwellers the service they are unable to access in the way to upgrade their habitat and achieve the rights they can´t access. Kaya Clinica represents an innovative LS experience as it works from an office located at the heart of the area, where all academic stuff is allocated. KC run from December 2015 until March 2018. It has been granted by the referred universities, the Municipality of Maputo and AECID, the Spanish international cooperation agency. The area elected to deploy the activity was the 45.000 inhabitants Bairro Dimitrov, north of Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique.engSlum upgradingHabitatHabitabilityMozambiqueSDOconference outputopen access
