The 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. Using a simplified data analysis platform, the DATACAB portal will totally reinvigorate grassroot participation in environmental protection and climate change adaptation.
The Media Awareness and Justice Initiative (MAJI) under the Soot Mapping project in Port Harcourt will be supported by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) to expand the DACATAB online portal to cover air quality monitoring, mapping and analysis for the development of sustainable community networks, effective stakeholder interactions and data oriented strategic interventions.
