Under the Future Cities Africa programme, Future Earth lead cross sector engagement and capacity building for the implementation of a DFID funded project to
1. Develop an integrated IOT management platform; 2. Build capacity across government entities to use integrated tools; and 3. Finance ongoing platform costs. The platform was intended to help the government of Accra improve urban resilience to climate change, social and economic shocks.

Context
Context
The Greater Accra Region contains 29 districts and many more sub-districts. The smooth running of energy, water and waste services relies upon timely, accurate coordination of physical, financial and human resources to plan, expand and maintain the services. As public sector financing and capacity is often a challenge, Accra suffers from delivery service gaps harming businesses, livelihoods and community wellbeing in an increasingly uncertain climate.
Approach

Alongside the development of the tool by the technical team based at Imperial College, London, Future Earth designed and delivered the Stakeholder Engagement Strategy and Technical Capacity Building programme to enable government ministries and their agencies to use digital IoT tools for collaboration and coordination on infrastructure planning, and the management of energy, water and waste resources.
