Abstract
This is the second part of a case series dealing with the distribution of FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) to low income areas (slums) in Kenya. It describes the successful launch of KasKazi Network - a revolutionary concept of distribution by bicycle to the 'bottom of the pyramid'. It reveals how Wanjohi dealt with the key stakeholders (FMCG manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers) as well as operational issues and HR policies. This case is part of the IMD free case collection (visit www.thecasecentre.org/imdfreecases for more information on the collection).
