Using Information and Communication Technologies to Reduce Exposure to Air Pollution in Colombia

This Technical Cooperation (TC) has two broad goals: (i) to measure the effects of using Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) that provide detailed real-time information on air quality—a smart phone application and an SMS text messaging system—on the behavior and environmental attitudes of residents of Bogotá metropolitan area; and (ii) to use what is learned about these effects to inform the design of scalable, pilot ICT alert systems in Bogotá and possibly other Colombian cities.
