Abstract
This article examines the role of social innovation in the management of COVID-19 in slums. Drawing on the existing literature, three relevant cases of social innovation – two in India and one in Hong Kong - were analysed to ascertain the qualitative attributes of these innovations and the latter’s contribution to the management of the pandemic. The findings suggest that social innovations have the potential of effectively managing COVID -19 in slum communities and informal settlements, as these take into consideration the pertinent special needs.
