@MakauWaMuli How comes hauwezi soma the name RUBis poa ? Considering hizo zingine ni clear!!!

Blue is the color, if you know you know. Baba was blue. Azimio was blue. Raila Odinga's spirit moved from Orange to blue.

Today, the #IamAPHRC IDEAMAPS Project team hosted a workshop that brought together city leaders, researchers, and community members to explore how data can improve urban services. Discussions focused on using community-created data and AI-driven earth observation for better planning in areas such as healthcare access, flood risk, waste management, and road networks. IDEAMAPS is helping shift the understanding of urban deprivation from labels to data-driven, community-led insights that support decision-making and resilience. This work is part of APHRC’s efforts to build participatory data systems to address urban challenges in low- and middle-income countries. #WeAreAfrica #APHRCResearch @kabariac @BlessingMberu @calecheru @judy_esthe27988 @j_p_albuquerque @OderaDolly @CFOnyambu @ndonyesarah @DMdiarafa @amveyange @CKyobutungi

This week, the #IamAPHRC IDEAMAPS Project team participated in a City-Wide Validation of five critical urban models shaping the future of our cities and communities: Morphological Informality, Road Access Deprivation, Flood Hazard, Emergency Obstetric Care Access, and Accumulated Waste Piles. These models are part of APHRC’s efforts under the Integrated Deprivation Area Mapping System (IDEAMAPS) Data Ecosystem project, which is co-developing a participatory data-modelling system to routinely and accurately map deprived areas in cities across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). By combining AI analysis of earth observation data with community mapping, IDEAMAPS aims to redefine how urban deprivation (“slums”) is understood, empowering diverse local stakeholders with data-driven, community-informed tools for better decision-making. #APHRCResearch #WeAreAfrica #IDEAMAPS @IDEAMAPSNetwork @kabariac @j_p_albuquerque @CFOnyambu @calecheru @judy_esthe27988

Since the beginning of January, six planets have been visible in the night sky at the same time in a fascinating event known as a planetary alignment or parade. This phenomenon, which occurs because the planets orbit the Sun within nearly the same plane called the ecliptic, will continue until February. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, while Neptune and Uranus require a telescope for viewing. To fully experience this celestial spectacle, join us on Saturday, the 25th, at the Waterfront in Karen. Together with @leoskyafrica, we’ll explore the night sky through telescopes and marvel at this incredible phenomenon. If you can’t make it, don’t worry! You can use apps like Stellarium, Skeye, or Starwalk to navigate the night sky and view the four brightest planets a few minutes after sunset.
