Procurement and Deployment of Low-Cost Air Quality Sensors (LCS) in Kilifi, Kajiado, and Kiambu Counties

About Cities Program
African cities are growing rapidly: The continent's urban population will double by 2050, reaching 1.5 billion people. But urban infrastructure and services are not meeting demand.

Most growth is happening in informal settlements, where people do not have reliable, safe or affordable access to essential everyday services. About 51% of city residents in sub-Saharan Africa live in places that exceed safe limits for air pollution. Many cities are located along coasts and major rivers, exposing citizens to dangerous floods. Globally, urban areas produce 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing escalating climate impacts like heatwaves and droughts.

This puts Africa's cities at a key inflection point. More than three-quarters of the infrastructure that will exist in African cities by mid-century is yet to be built, offering immense opportunity to improve urban planning as cities expand. It is essential that this development is not only low-carbon and climate-resilient, but also enhances access to crucial services such as running water and sanitation, electricity, decent housing, transport, and dignified, healthy urban jobs.

Our goal is to transition Africa's urban systems to provide a better quality of life and health through equitable access to jobs and core services for all residents — especially the underserved. At the same time, we're working to make cities more resilient to climate change and help them achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

WRI works to ensure the future of African cities by helping city administrations, private and public investors and donors make informed decisions on city planning and policy. Our approach in all cities is to:

• Develop liveable neighborhoods. We work closely with city agencies and other decision-makers to reduce air pollution; restore urban forests and watersheds; develop safe and reliable transportation; and ensure all residents can access sanitation, clean water, parks and other services.
• Build resilient water systems. We aid cities in overcoming water challenges and reducing exposure to floods by advancing nature-based solutions for flood mitigation.

About The Kenya —Small Vehicles E-Mobility
The project, "Kenya —Small Vehicles E-Mobility" has the overall goal of accelerating the transition towards e-mobility to achieve reductions in transport sector emissions, as well as create green jobs and industrial growth in the assembly and manufacturing of e-vehicles. The project will focus on increasing the uptake of electric two wheelers (boda bodas) and three wheelers (tuk tuks) in peri-urban and rural areas of Kenya. The project anticipates propelling the market to reach critical mass that will result in market driven initiatives to further transformation of the transport sector.

Objectives of this Assignment

The main objective of this assignment is to procure, deploy, and operationalize a network of low-cost air quality sensors (LCS) in Kilifi, Kajiado, and Kiambu Counties to enhance spatial coverage, data access, and evidence-based air quality management. Specifically, the assignment aims to:

• Expand Monitoring Coverage: Establish a network of reliable, calibrated low-cost sensors to complement reference-grade stations and fill existing monitoring gaps in the selected counties.
• Generate Hyperlocal Air Quality Data: Provide data to identify pollution hotspots, analyze trends, and inform county-level air quality management and mitigation measures.
• Support Evidence-Based Policy and Planning: Enable County governments and WRI partners to use air quality data for policy formulation, enforcement of the Environmental Management and Coordination (Air Quality) Regulations, 2024, and development of county clean air action plans.
• Enhance Community and Institutional Engagement: Increase public awareness and participation in air quality management through deployment in institutions such as schools, hospitals, and local government offices.
• Strengthen Technical Capacity and Data Systems: Build local capacity in sensor installation, calibration, data interpretation, and maintenance; and ensure integration with an online data platform for visualization and public access.
