Tools

The conservation analyst is a web-based tool that integrates and weighs multiple criteria for spatial conservation planning allowing for the identification and selection of unprotected land areas presenting high values in terms of biodiversity and key ecosystem services.

The ACLED Africa Conflict Dashboard is an interactive spatial analysis and data visualization tool designed to track political violence, protests, and armed conflict dynamics across the African continent. Developed by the Africa Knowledge Platform (AKP) team, this application is powered by data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), providing policymakers, researchers, and field actors with a near-real-time, geographic overview of regional security environments.

The Clean Energy Access Prioritiser (CEAP) is an open-source decision-support tool designed to identify priority areas for clean energy interventions and investments.  The spatial planning tool allows users to evaluate clean energy projects with a multi-sectoral approach, including environmental, socio-economic, cultural, and political aspects. 

The Integrated Management Effectiveness Tool (IMET) is a decision-support tool intended to develop the planning-monitoring-evaluation process to improve protected areas (PA) management effectiveness. It is suitable for all PAs, regardless of their management and governance category. IMET is a computer application that can be downloaded for free, installed on a PC and used without an Internet connection.

Protected areas in Africa play a critical role in biodiversity conservation, supporting livelihoods, and mitigating climate change. This tool offers a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of protected areas by country across the continent, examining their evolution, current status, and emerging trends. We employed a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating remote sensing data to capture the complex interactions between ecological systems and human activities within and around protected areas.

The Clean Energy Access Prioritiser (CEAP) is an open-source decision-support tool designed to identify priority areas for clean energy interventions and investments.  The spatial planning tool allows users to evaluate clean energy projects with a multi-sectoral approach, including environmental, socio-economic, cultural, and political aspects.
