This platform provides a unified view of Africa’s air quality monitoring landscape. It integrates metadata on monitoring initiatives across Africa, combining both low-cost sensors and high-precision reference monitors installed in Africa. Users can explore the geographic distribution of monitoring stations by country, identify active coverage, understand the types of instrumentation in use, and the institutional stewardship for each monitoring location.
By offering a structured and comprehensive overview of Africa’s air quality monitoring capacity, the platform seeks to incentivise collaboration towards scaling the development of open data infrastructure
