Effective EWS-building is multi-dimensional requiring a holistic, integrated whole system approach. With this in mind, we have established EDGE as a multi-stakeholder transdisciplinary initiative exploring digital innovation between 3 countries, 3 universities, governments, digital tech industry, NGOs, policymakers and practitioners. EDGE connects natural and social sciences and engineering to address technical and social-ecological challenges behind multi-hazard risks in rapidly growing urban areas of Africa.
