Our work with climate models and data provides informed system data and forecasts to support sustainable water management, resilient energy systems, and tailored climate adaptation solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa under the changing climate.
At FARR, our research focuses on developing advanced hydrological models for river basins and water resources across Sub-Saharan Africa. We address challenges in water resource management, extreme events such as droughts and floods, and access to clean water. By shaping the future of hydrological sciences, we aim to improve the design, efficiency, and resilience of water systems that are vital to sustainable development.
Our focus is to develop secure, accessible databases that support evidence-based research across diverse disciplines. We integrate technologies to enable real-time collaboration, broaden access to reliable information, and amplify the impact of academia-industry research partnerships.
Wondering how to leverage AI in professional systems and drive efficiency, at FARR, we are using machine learning and deep learning to train and build predictive models that support data-driven decision-making. Our AI research is focused on optimizing operations, improving forecasting, diagnostics, and intelligent planning.
Our commitment to capacity building is central to our mission. FARR nurtures young changemakers through mentorship, hands-on research, and tailored training programs that empower students, early-career researchers, and professionals. We focus on developing practical skills, leadership, and innovation capacity—ensuring the next generation is equipped to solve Africa’s most pressing challenges through science and collaboration.
FARR promotes research and collaboration to support inclusive, resilient, and environmentally sustainable urban growth. As Africa’s cities rapidly expand, we focus on creating systems and policies that prioritize people, sustainability, and innovation.
Fostering Applied Research Reach (FARR) is an initiative committed to connecting academic research with real-world industry challenges across Sub-Saharan Africa
