Combining satellite imagery with local data gathered by students from the University of Kinshasa, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is compiling information on waste accumulation, the drainage system, water bodies, erosion sites, and green areas. This data, integrated with demographic and infrastructure data, is pivotal in devising targeted solutions and investments to improve the city's waste management infrastructure and practices, including through the Kin Elenda World Bank project.
