Developing Precision IoT Sensors for Low-Cost Environmental Monitoring in Senegal's Urban Slums
type: item
description: Urban slums in Senegal face significant environmental challenges due to inadequate waste management systems and poor air quality monitoring. The study employed a mixed-method approach combining IoT sensor design with field testing. Sensor prototypes were designed using Arduino microcontrollers and wireless communication modules to collect data from multiple locations within the target area. A preliminary test revealed that the sensors achieved an accuracy of 95% in measuring temperature fluctuations, contributing to enhanced urban planning efforts. The results indicate that IoT technology can be effectively utilised for environmental monitoring without requiring high initial costs or sophisticated infrastructure. Further research should focus on scalability and integration with existing municipal systems to ensure sustainable implementation of the proposed solution. Internet of Things, Urban slums, Environmental Monitoring, Low-cost Sensors Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.

Indigenous Knowledge Systems Integration into AI Development in West Africa Contextualized for Kenya's Digital Transformation
type: item
description: Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in West Africa are repositories of traditional wisdom and practices that have shaped agricultural techniques, medicine, and social structures for generations. The study employs a qualitative comparative analysis of existing AI projects that incorporate traditional knowledge systems from various West African countries. A preliminary survey revealed that over 40% of Kenyan AI developers have incorporated IKS into their models, particularly in healthcare applications where the proportion is as high as 55%. The integration of IKS into AI can lead to more culturally sensitive and sustainable technological solutions, though challenges related to data privacy and ethical considerations remain. Policy makers should encourage collaboration between traditional knowledge holders and tech developers to ensure equitable benefits from AI applications.

ICT-Mediated Engagement Strategies in HIV Prevention Programmes for Gay Men in Ugandan Slums
type: item
description: ICT-mediated engagement strategies are increasingly being used to address HIV prevention among marginalized populations in Uganda, particularly gay men living in urban slums where traditional outreach methods may be less effective. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed. Data were collected from 300 participants through online questionnaires and 20 semi-structured interviews. Statistical models included logistic regression to analyse survey data, accounting for potential confounders such as socio-economic status and previous HIV knowledge. A significant proportion (65%) of respondents reported increased trust in the ICT platform compared to traditional methods. However, there was a notable theme regarding privacy concerns among younger participants (aged 18-24). The methodological framework demonstrates that ICT can be an effective tool for engaging hard-to-reach populations but requires tailored strategies to address specific user needs and concerns. Future research should focus on developing more secure and private ICT platforms specifically designed for gay men in slum communities, alongside ongoing community education programmes to mitigate privacy issues.

Cybersecurity Threats and Mitigation Strategies in East African Financial Systems
type: item
description: Financial systems in East Africa, particularly Kenya, are increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats due to rapid technological advancements and inadequate regulatory frameworks. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis of cyber threat reports from financial institutions and qualitative interviews with cybersecurity experts to understand current practices and challenges. Analysis revealed that phishing attacks represent the most significant threat (45%) among all types, while financial institutions in Kenya are less likely to implement advanced encryption techniques (30%). The findings highlight a need for enhanced regulatory oversight and better cybersecurity training programmes for financial sector employees. Regulators should mandate the adoption of multi-factor authentication and increase penalties for non-compliance, while financial institutions are encouraged to invest in AI-driven threat detection systems. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
