EiA Hub
Development Project
EiA Hub
CSIR-INSTI
INSTI's role in the EiA project is to design a mobile and web-based cropping calendar. This initiative, known as "Excellence in Agronomy for Sustainable Intensification and Climate Change Adaptation," is a CGIAR effort that connects public and private partners with CGIAR centers to create scalable agronomic solutions across six regions. The cropping calendar serves as a valuable tool within this project, enabling efficient planning and management of agricultural activities.
CLIMACCESS
Research Project
Climate Accessibility
CSIR-INSTI
This study intends to rely/draw on existing datasets gathered within the CLIMACCESS project, such as flood-prone locations and city-wide transport network. Data would be collected on the location of emergency services such as Hospitals/Polyclinics, Police Stations and Posts, Fire Service, National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and Ambulance Services. Further, data would be compiled on the population to determine access to these service centres in the delineated localities/ catchment areas. So far, activities carried out include a reconnaissance survey with the various agencies, taking of coordinates for areas identified as flood spots and those identified as safe havens or shelters. Locational coordinates using GPS has been established and a spatial database for the locations, including flood spots has been developed and draft maps produced.
