sensors.AFRICA is a citizen-science focused project by Code for Africa that seeks to address data gaps by providing low cost sensors, which people can use to measure and monitor the quality of the air, water, and sound in their communities.
Are you interested in working with us, using our data, or learning more about what we do? Please fill in this form and we'll get back to you ASAP.
The key goals for this site:
- Provide an online platform to explore sensors.AFRICA data and initiatives (networks)
- Provide information + contacts on how users can kickstart their own network
- Provide an action path to petition local governments to do something about the quality of environment
This project uses yarn as a dependancy. See the documentation to set it up on your machine.

yarn
yarn devThis project will be primarily using airbnb react and material-ui as our main style guides when implementing components.This is to create code consistency and readability.
