The award will facilitate the establishment of a reliable and affordable air quality monitoring network in Abidjan and Korhogo, Côte d’ivoire. Data collected through the 10 low-cost monitors will be made available to various policy forums, laying the foundations for long-term goals—revising national air quality standards, developing an air quality warning system and achieving a 30-40% reduction in PM2.5 emissions.

The project represents a unique opportunity to provide, at a very affordable cost, access to reliable information on air quality in Côte d’Ivoire and thereby strengthen our national air quality observation network (RNO-Air). It will also provide a platform for awareness raising among all stakeholders and enhanced actions on air quality at the national level.
