Dear Sir/Madame,
The AfriAlliance project aims to better prepare Africa for future climate change challenges. One of its objectives is to help improve water and climate monitoring and forecasting processes and tools in Africa. The purpose of this survey is to identify constraints and opportunities for Citizen Science in Africa. Who should participate in this survey?We invite practitioners with experience in implementing Citizen Science (e.g. citizen-based monitoring, citizen-based data collection, crowdsourcing data, etc.) in Africa to share lessons learned from their project(s).Your participation in the survey will help us to obtain a better understanding of the conditions under which Citizen Science may improve monitoring and forecasting in Africa. 

Before you start:
The information provided by you in the survey is voluntary and will be used for research purposes only. Unless you explicitly authorise us to do so, you will not be identified by your individual responses. Most participants find the discussion interesting and thought-provoking. If, however, you feel uncomfortable in any way while completing the questionnaire, you can decline to answer any question or end the interview. Anonymized research data will be archived in the AfriAlliance data archive held by IHE Delft, in order to make them available to other researchers in line with current data sharing practices.To receive a copy of your data or to retract the data, please identify yourself and, referring to this survey, contact us at: Dorothee Baur, Project Management Assistant AfriAlliance, IHE Delft or via email: d.baur@un-ihe.org
