@yohaniddawela You can also take a look to the project https://t.co/PNquO57CIp where we have been developing a robust and transferable DL model to characterise informal settlements worldwide. An important key is the user-engagement for validating the training data and model outputs :)

Monitoring of ALAN is done from ground and space with many pros and cons (coverage, precision, color sensitivity etc.)

The review comes to the conclusion, that ground based systems are not ideal but the biggest gap exists in satellite technology for night-time earth observation

Let's tune in tomorrow @SpiceFMKE at 9am #TheSituationRoom on a discussion on the 48 hours executive order and the tragic impacts.

[#CommunityMapper. @nicerawanjiruki]

They came fully armed to poor residents who don't even have a proper place to sleep, with only one mission make them homeless, scatter their livelihoods and belongings. As a result lives have been lost. After surviving floods you die during an eviction process.

[Mukuru Community Justice Centre @mukuru_cjc]

It's so unfortunate that the residents of mukuru Kwa Ruben and viwandani have been forcefully evicted from their homes by the government without an alternative. Three people have been killed by the state during the process. We demand the state to resettle the victims immediately.

[Anami Daudi Toure @Anamidaudi]

The state has claimed the lives of three people today in mukuru evictions including a five year old Joseph ombata 😭😭😭

[#CommunityMapper. @nicerawanjiruki]

@MonikaKuffer @dana_r_thomson @abascal_angela @Data4HumanRight this is the current situation.

[#CommunityMapper. @nicerawanjiruki]

#floods in Kenya is causing havoc. The silence and wet homes in our slums is soo loud. Deaths, lose of livelihoods, schools and homes swept away or submerged, it's devasting. It's traumatizing.

1 year since the #conflict in #Sudan - sad and wonderful memories of the work with @SSudtt colleagues within #IDEAMAPSudan - a forgotten conflict with millions displaced. We hope to continue our work on democracy and inclusive urban planning https://t.co/Y5Jd355toE @FacultyITC
