Lagos is cleaner than it used to be. But it is still filthy. Can we use data to clean it up?

The @cMapIT team is on the first phase of mapping Lagos sanitation (project) using @cMapIT (as a tool) with a focus on blocked drainage network in Ikeja and Shomolu Local government areas of Lagos state. This project has a timeline of one year, but the time frame can be reduced by 4 months with access to more resources (personnel, funds).

@cMapIT as the data gathering tool enhanced continuous monitoring of pollution (with a focus on blocked drainage points) by providing real-time transmission of the collected geo-tagged datasets to a central database for the technicians to validate and analyse (possibly in real time too). The datasets are also available for reporting to the public in a spreadsheet (as available above) and as digital data for automated analytics (API).

It's a bit hard to read in places, but certainly worth a look. Read the rest here:
