Developing a Mobile Application to Support E-Waste Processors in Senegal

Abstract

This project was originally proposed by a waste-management company called SetTIC based out of Dakar, Senegal. The goal was to create an application that provides support for the informal e-waste repair economies in Senegal. The application will expand upon an existing version that connects repairs with customers through a marketplace. This iteration of the project facilitates educational opportunities for repairers that will expand their skill set. Additionally, the platform provides a space for educational modules that will inform repairers on how to mitigate the negative health and environmental impacts of their work
