Kgotso Development Trust
The award will support establishing Zimbabwe’s first real-time air quality monitoring network with 35 low-cost PM2.5 sensors, enabling public access to air quality data and fostering awareness of pollution’s impact. The project aims to support the development of air quality management plans and evidence-based policy making.
With support from EPIC Air Quality Fund, we will be able to establish for the first time a real-time air quality monitoring network across Zimbabwe. The network will go a long way in increasing public awareness about air pollution as well as supporting the development of mitigation strategies towards clean air.
