Abstract

Regional monitoring networks have been established in Kenya to enhance environmental data collection and analysis. However, their effectiveness in different regions is not well-documented. A meta-analysis approach was employed to aggregate data from multiple studies. The DiD model, incorporating robust standard errors and confidence intervals, was used to estimate the impact of network implementation on environmental data collection. The analysis revealed that adoption rates varied significantly across regions, with a notable increase in monitoring activity following network establishment in some areas (e.g., up to 40% improvement). The DiD model provided nuanced insights into the effectiveness of regional monitoring networks, highlighting heterogeneity in their impact. Future studies should consider region-specific factors influencing adoption rates and explore ways to enhance network sustainability.
