Landscape of Citizen Science Projects in Africa with emphasis on SDG 6 & 11
I am Adenike Shonowo, a Postgraduate student of the Department of Geography, University of Lagos, Nigeria. I am an intern working with the International Science Council’s CODATA–WDS Task Group on Citizen Science for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The goal of this survey is to document the value and potential of citizen-generated data for monitoring progress towards the SDGs, and to provide guidance to citizen science initiatives on how to measure the SDG indicators. Evidence of the capacity for Citizen Science-led monitoring has been collated for other continents but does not currently exist to persuade UNICEF and WHO of this capacity in Africa. We aim to  identify and document current uses of citizen science tools and projects for monitoring and tracking progress towards SDGs 6 (on water and sanitation) and 11 (on sustainable cities) in Africa.

The set of questions below will help us to compile this information.  Please fill out a separate form for each project you are involved in on or before September 30, 2021. Any personal views shared by you during this interview will be considered as confidential unless we explicitly obtain your permission to quote you in resulting reports. Thank you for your time.
