About KINAQ

The Kinshasa Air Quality Project (KINAQ) is implemented by WASARU (led by KASEREKA ISEVULAMBIRE), in partnership with Professor Daniel WESTERVELT of Columbia University (USA), with financial support of the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC).

KINAQ provides innovative solutions that include the deployment of low-cost sensors, providing real-time open data, and sharing actionable information for air quality monitoring to reduce air pollution, improve air quality, and prevent air pollution related effects in Kinshasa and the DR Congo. We also raise awareness about air pollution and advocate for clean air policies with national and local government.

Our Mission

Dedicated to providing accurate and real-time air quality open data and actionable information to protect communities from the effects of air pollution and help them make informed decisions about their environmental health.
