It's no secret. Trees help communities stay cool. 🌲 Also no secret — trees and green space aren't always distributed equally across neighborhoods.
Here's how the City of Austin (@austintexasgov) maps it's tree canopy for maximum impact. https://t.co/jJVn4kAPgC
Prof. Peter Elias shares why and how we must use technology, innovation and digital health platforms to help our urban health systems reach different communities where they are and expand access to health services #UHCDay
By now most folks know that the most commonly map projection (Mercator) distorts the size of landmasses. The further away from the equator, the larger a country appears on the map. HT @geoallday

Today, the #IamAPHRC IDEAMAPS Project team hosted a workshop that brought together city leaders, researchers, and community members to explore how data can improve urban services.
Discussions focused on using community-created data and AI-driven earth observation for better planning in areas such as healthcare access, flood risk, waste management, and road networks.
IDEAMAPS is helping shift the understanding of urban deprivation from labels to data-driven, community-led insights that support decision-making and resilience.
This work is part of APHRC’s efforts to build participatory data systems to address urban challenges in low- and middle-income countries.

We welcoje you to APES2. If you have youths in your home/organisation support them to join others and discuss the People; Planet; Peace interlinkages. Time to rethink how we are treating our shared home- Mother Earth.
This week, the #IamAPHRC IDEAMAPS Project team participated in a City-Wide Validation of five critical urban models shaping the future of our cities and communities: Morphological Informality, Road Access Deprivation, Flood Hazard, Emergency Obstetric Care Access, and Accumulated Waste Piles.
These models are part of APHRC’s efforts under the Integrated Deprivation Area Mapping System (IDEAMAPS) Data Ecosystem project, which is co-developing a participatory data-modelling system to routinely and accurately map deprived areas in cities across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
By combining AI analysis of earth observation data with community mapping, IDEAMAPS aims to redefine how urban deprivation (“slums”) is understood, empowering diverse local stakeholders with data-driven, community-informed tools for better decision-making.

@l_sumba@WASPAKenya@LVNWWDA The workshop was a culmination of weeklong consortium meeting of SISTARS partners from University of Ghana, University of Nairobi, APHRC & WIWAS. SISTARS embodies Ikigai - a Japanese concept to find meaning & fulfillment by aligning one's passions, skills, & what the world needs
An awe-inspiring week learning from trail blazing women leaders in Engineering & Mathematics. Prof Mumenya, the 1st ever female Dean, Faculty of Engineering, UoN championed that given a supportive environment, girls excelled with 4 out 5 top honors in Engineering awarded to girls
The #IamAPHRC SISTARS Project (Transforming Institutions to Advance Women Leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) team is today disseminating findings from Ghana and Kenya.
Key findings from the study show that the facilitators and barriers to the progression of women leadership in STEM are;
✅ Sociocultural factors – work-life balance and demanding caregiving responsibilities
✅ Institutional factors – Gaps in the existence and implementation of policies and guidelines that support women's progression in the STEM sector
✅ Knowledge factors – Limited awareness of existing policies and guidelines on women in STEM leadership
This event provides a valuable platform for reflecting on the findings, sharing insights, and deliberating on a way forward.
The project is a transdisciplinary collaborative action research in Ghana and Kenya that seeks to promote women leaders in STEM institutions through understanding the nuances that inhibit their progress to leadership positions and co-designing and testing solutions with selected case study institutions.
