Data-driven approach in flood mitigation: developing real-time mapping of floods in Mali.  

Deadline: July 17, 2023

This technical assistance aims to strengthen the existing early warning system for flood risk in Mali with the help of remote sensing and deep learning. The expected outputs are as follows:

  • Overcome the lack of accurate data to develop a hydrological model using deep learning models in a commune in Mali (initial proposal to be confirmed: Sébékoro) using satellite and UAV data.
  • Precise characterization of infrastructure types in at-risk areas;
  • Integrate the PGRCI’s hydrological models and flood warning system in the selected commune.
  • Implement low-cost hazard monitoring technology based on the use of automatic stations with real-time remote transmission in the selected area.

If you are not a CTCN network member yet, you may still apply (further details are found in the document).

The complete details of the requirement will be provided in the tender documents that will be issued to bidders after this request for EOI is closed. 

For more information, please visit the UNGM portal and UNPD Intranet.
