Citizen Science APP

Citizen science allows the participation of interested members of the public to contribute to research, broaden their scientific understanding and raise awareness of environmental issues. When scientists find ways to enlist the participation of the citizens, the results have been very promising and provide extensive coverage beyond what is achievable by a small group of scientists. The increasing penetration of mobile phones across Africa presents an increasing opportunity for scientists to develop applications that citizens can use to support data collection.
