Our Work and Skills
GHAIDEMS’ work cuts across a wide range of areas, from agriculture and climate to education and software development. We are passionate about projects related to development, education and the mathematical sciences and particularly work that impacts more than one of these areas. The majority of our projects are in Africa and we have a strong commitment to building capacity locally whenever we work by involving and supporting local partners whenever we can. GHAIDEMS works closely with its affiliates ( IDEMS in the UK and INNODEMS in Kenya).
Social Development:
As a community interest company GHAIDEMS is set up to serve the needs of society. We are grateful that so much of our current work aligns with our social mission. The following list highlights a few projects that directly impact social development while demonstrating the range of areas we touch upon. As we grow our social development work will always remain an important part of our portfolio.
Our projects
Agriculture:
GHAIDEMS is keen on promoting food security. We have been involved in supporting the Ghana Agro-Ecology hub to promote better agroecology practices.
Our projects
Climate:
GHAIDEMS has always placed importance on climate as an area of contribution. The urgency of the climate emergency has drawn attention to the importance of work in this area. Our background has come from analysis of historical data, an area of significant importance in its own right. We are naturally drawn into data management and quality assurance processes pertaining to the data as well as working with satellite estimates and reanalysis products which complement and extend the data.
Education:
We have a background in education and many staff are passionate about mathematical science education in particular. This will always be a place of innovation and creativity for the GHAIDEMS team as we are content experts alongside our technical role. GHAIDEMS uses technology as a tool to improve educational activities across all academic levels. In Africa, we are also well placed to work directly with grassroot local implementers having an extensive network of personal contact.
