Our partnership with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) uses data and technology to tackle hunger. Image The Jameel Observatory The Jameel Observatory is an initiative to support the use of data and earth observation approaches to catalyze early action to avoid food crises among pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in East Africa.The Jameel Observatory brings together a consortium including the University of Edinburgh Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems, Save the Children, the International Livestock Research institute, the Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) and Community Jameel as founding members.Leading researchers and humanitarian agencies have joined forces to harness data and technology in a bid to stop climate shocks resulting in hunger in vulnerable livestock farming communities.By combining the knowledge of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities and other local organisations with innovations in data science and humanitarian action, they expect that communities they work with in East Africa will become more resilient and better able to prepare for and overcome the effects of environmental shocks.
