Summary
The WRI Air Quality Program intends to award a consultant an eight-month fixed price contract to analyze data from our Pollution Insights tool in four cities - Bogota, Kampala, Nairobi, and Monterrey – delivering pollution insights maps and finalizing a data analysis methodology that can be replicated by policymakers and practitioners. This is an essential component of the team’s CanAIRy Alert project, which aims to deliver air quality monitoring tools for cities in low- and middle-income countries.
Program Overview
WRI’s air quality team applies a data-to-action approach to addressing these bottlenecks, working directly with city governments in LMICs worldwide on a range of projects (USAID-funded Clean Air Catalyst, U.S. State Dept.-funded South-East Asia Community of practice, etc.). WRI’s strategy focuses on translating existing, already-paid for science into decision-relevant, action-provoking and locally relevant tools.
