Anderson seeks to support evidence-based policy making by engaging regional stakeholders to provide African governments with the information and tools they need (low-carbon and air quality economic models, quantified simulation scenarios, transition pathways and indicators) for monitoring and evaluating the roll out of low-carbon and air quality policies and programs in the energy, industry and transportation sectors.
