The ALPhA study will explore ways that public space is being appropriated for physical activity in Lagos and Yaoundé. Over the next 2years, we‘ll be aiming to understand types of ALPha spaces that exist, experiences of ALPhAs, and #airpollution #safety & #injury risk exposures...
After 3 years, this study has ended! Pleased to share key findings and final report urbanbetter.science/alpha/ This partnership btw @Cambridge_Uni @MRC_Epid @GroupHopit & @chsd_unilag was incredible. Outputs loading... Thanks to @BritishAcademy_ funders.

Huge congrats to the Cameroon @alphactivity team @GroupHopit for a successful workshop with govt & civil society sharing our ALPhA citizen science study findings to shape urban public spaces for #physicalactivity in Yaoundé. @BritishAcademy_ @GDARnetwork @MRC_Epid
ALPHA 2nd stakeholder workshop in Ydé-CMR with sharing of findings on Safety, risk, Air Pollution & exploring approaches to
co-designing #public_spaces supportive of #physical_activity. Grateful for the @BritishAcademy_interdisciplinary urban infrastructures of well-being funding

Last week, we were honored to share scalable experiences on community-driven digital #airquality network for African urban spaces during the knowledge sharing and co-creation workshop at the University of Lagos Nigeria. #AirPollution #CitizenScience

Was great to have this partnership with @Cambridge_Uni Chemistry Dept. Dr Popoola presents in @alphactivity study findings from Lagos
Next up we are sharing findings from #AirPollution monitoring over 12 months in Lagos public space and how/why it matters for #physicalactivity and health
It’s a wrap! Our @alphactivity team convened a fantastic & engaging group of stakeholders from govt, civil society & academia grappled wt approaches to address #airpollution and injury risks in built environment & approaches to embrace and create healthy public spaces in Lagos.
In the final section of the workshop, using public spaces identified by @alphactivity citizen scientists, stakeholders co-design ways to shape these spaces for health

Holding hybrid workshops is no joke! PLUS language translation PLUS interactive breakouts tools 😳But we press on with our 2nd stakeholders workshop exploring perspectives on/opportunities for public space #physicalactivity . After Lagos last wk, this time in Yaounde/zoom 💪🏾💪🏾
Just kicked off our first stakeholder workshop with a hybrid workshop in Lagos and on zoom. Look forward to exploring perspectives from govt, civil society and multilaterals on strategies to reimagine public space for #physicalactivity
