Data Casting Biodiversity Project (DATACAB)

With support from the French Embassy in Nigeria, the DATACAB project uses Data analytics simplification tools to reinforce Civil Society Organisations capacity to contribute to environmentally protection and locally led climate adaptation in rural communities across the Niger Delta and in Nigeria.

The project is focused on building the capacity of civil society organizations, community-based groups, environmental monitors, media reporters, to use and incorporate data analysis for environmental monitoring, incident documentation, reporting, awareness and advocacy. The project is also training rural women to make energy efficient clay based clean cookstoves to facilitate low cost food production and reduced community dependence on wood. The project is setting up environmental clubs, educating young people in secondary schools on environmental protection, biodiversity conservation and climathe DATACAB Environmental data analytic portal enables users to simplify environmental incident data and contents, presenting them in simplified infographic charts that can be easily used by strategic stakeholders for environmental analysis, strategic advocacy and targeted Intervention. 

The data platform is optimised for mobile devices and provides a simplified user interface that supports data inputs compilations and analysis. Resulting analysed information will be grouped and presented in simplified infographic contents, charts and geospatial visual maps using coordinate technology for accurate referencing of identified locations.
