For African cities
Leveraging a high-resolution air quality monitoring network to advance air quality
management in African cities.
Many African cities lack actionable data and evidence on the scale and magnitude of air pollution in order to tackle air pollution, a major urban environmental health challenge.
Our Approach
We empower city authorities and citizens with timely information and evidence to address the air pollution challenge.
Locally developed high-resolution
air quality monitoring network
We want to see cleaner air in all African Cities. We leverage our understanding of the African context and close collaborations with relevant partners to deliver a high-resolution air quality network to inform contextualized and locally relevant approaches to air quality management for African cities.
Community-aware digital air quality platforms
We empower decision-makers and citizens in African Cities with increased access to air quality data evidence to help them tackle urban air quality and achieve cleaner air objectives.
Policy Engagement
We engage city authorities and government agencies to build their capacity and empower them with evidence and digital tools for air quality management and informing air quality public policies.
Community engagement
We empower local leaders and targeted communities with air quality information to create awareness of air quality issues.
