Consultant, University of Glasgow

This visionary project embarked on a mission to delve into the multifaceted world of drone usage across various sectors in Malawi, including scientific research, governmental applications, NGO initiatives, and business operations. At its core, the project aimed to understand and enhance the inclusivity of diverse communities in drone-related practices.

Each activity within the project was meticulously crafted to foster collaboration and generate novel insights into the world of drones. We focused on comprehensively assessing current drone utilizations and their impacts, while also envisaging future possibilities for these technologies in humanitarian and environmental contexts.

Through this project, we aimed to bridge gaps between technology and community engagement, ensuring that drone use not only advances scientific and commercial objectives but also aligns with the needs and aspirations of the local communities. Our goal was to create a harmonious integration of drone technology in societal frameworks, contributing to more inclusive, informed, and sustainable practices in Malawi.
