The ninth annual Measuring Development Conference (MeasureDev) took place in Washington DC, USA on 4th May 2023, as part of the World Bank’s Development Impact Week, bringing together climate change practitioners and showcasing innovative data sources and analytical techniques to better monitor emissions and appraise efforts to mitigate their consequences. Organised by World Bank’s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME), Department and Data Analytics and Tools (DECAT) unit, the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA), and the University of Chicago’s Development Innovation Lab (DIL), the theme for this year’s conference was entitled Mitigating the Risks and Impacts of Climate Change.
Digital Earth Africa presented on Empowering Communities in addressing Climate Change – Zanzibar, Tanzania. DE Africa is helping African communities with near-real-time satellite imagery such as Sentinel 2 at ten metres spatial resolution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and make data more easily accessible via the internet. DE Africa has trained the lecturers at State University of Zanzibar (SUZA), and the students, who are part of the YouthMappers network, and work closely with the community in terms of providing local knowledge of mangroves. The communities are now empowered to prioritise restoration efforts of mangroves along African coast lines. View the presentation هنا
