This research project aims to contribute to a better understanding of the context in which mining investment in Africa takes place.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can play an important role in helping communities prepare for and adapt to the effects of climate change.
The rocketing growth in the number of people online and improvements in computer capacity are making it possible for governments and the private sector to collect and share information on every facet of people's lives.
This project will help strengthen research and teaching capacity in earth sciences at the University of Limpopo, South Africa, to prepare students and faculty to better meet the demands of mining on society, the environment, and the economy.
Barriers to education in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) limit the development of human capital, leading to significant skills gaps.
Ethiopia suffers from a serious level of food insecurity, exacerbated by increasing population pressure, land degradation and frequent cycles of drought.
DNA barcoding is a new tool for taxonomic research. The DNA barcode is a very short standardized DNA sequence in a well-known gene.
Achieving water security in Africa remains a major challenge for policymakers. Moreover, there is evidence linking climate variability to deteriorating water security in the region, particularly its cities.
Climate change and urbanization will have both upstream and downstream implications for African cities, mainly the urban demand for potable water and water for agriculture and the production of wastewater.
Forest resources in North Africa are significant in terms of area, and ecological and socioeconomic function. The forests are mainly located in the transboundary Atlas Mountain Chain, which extends from Morocco through Algeria to Tunisia.
