Les scores se concentrent dans le haut de l’échelle ; la position au sein du catalogue est donc souvent plus parlante que le chiffre seul.
Evidence of impact / measured results3/3
AirQo's sensor data has been used in peer-reviewed studies (e.g., Environmental Science: Atmospheres) quantifying Kampala PM2.5 levels of 60-100 µg/m³, several times WHO guidance.
Transferability / demonstrated replication3/3
The Kampala-born network has been replicated in Nairobi, Lagos and Accra, with data services referenced for further African cities.
Scalability3/3
The project scaled from a single-city Makerere pilot in 2015 to a 200+-sensor, multi-country network backed by $4.3M in Google.org funding.
Sustainability / continuity2/3
Nine years of continuous operation is documented, but funding remains substantially grant-dependent (Google.org and research grants) rather than embedded in recurring public budgets.
Innovation3/3
AirQo engineered its own low-cost (~$150), solar/battery-powered sensor units specifically to function in areas with unreliable grid power and connectivity.
Inclusiveness / equity3/3
The project's explicit purpose is closing an air-quality data gap that disproportionately affects lower-income African cities excluded from global monitoring networks.
Multi-stakeholder collaboration2/3
The network is a university-led, multi-country effort with Google.org as funder, though public materials show fewer documented formal government co-implementation partners than peer city-innovation programmes.
