AirQo Air Quality Monitoring Network

AirQo was founded in 2015 at Makerere University in Kampala to close Africa's air quality data gap using low-cost, locally built sensors and AI-driven calibration. The network has since expanded beyond Uganda, with monitors reported in use across eight African countries as of early 2024, feeding a free public air-quality app and dashboard. AirQo has received Google.org grant funding to support its sensor network and pollution-mitigation work.
