he afterlives of development interventions: Retracing theK enya-Finland Cooperation (Kefinco) Project in western Kenya

Since the end of colonialism, cooperation between African and Europeanc ountries has given rise to countless and varied internationald evelopment projects, which in turn left contested and often unexpectedl egacies. Drawing on the Iscte-based European Research Council (ERC)p roject AfDevLives, in this lecture we will discuss a cases-tudy involving such a Euro-African development collaboration - namely, a large-scale waterp roject called Kefinco, which was implemented in Kakamega, western Kenya, in the 1980s and 1990s. This session will feature four speakers, three of whom will join us remotely, and willf ocus on the retracing of such afterlives and on them ethods used for their ongoing exploration, and in particular on thec onvergence of ethnographic and archival material."
