APREA - Applied Probability Research in Eastern Africa

The Applied Probability Research in Eastern Africa (APREA) was formed in the year 2018 to consolidate ISP training and research efforts and to ensure that sustainability in mathematics is created.

APREA comprises of members from:

• University of Nairobi, Kenya
• Kenyatta University, Kenya
• Technical University of Kenya, Kenya
• Makerere University, Uganda
• Kyambogo University, Uganda
• Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique

Supervising/mentoring collaborators from Sweden are:

• KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
• Linköping University, Sweden

The activities are coordinated by Professor Patrick Weke, Department of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, Kenya.

ISP has supported the network since its formation in 2018.

Objectives

The main objective of APREA is to form a sustainable statistical research group whose focus is in solving health, economic and environmental issues using applied probability theories which eventually will contribute significantly towards poverty reduction.

The group organises bi-weekly virtual seminars and our future plans include joint scientific workshops, collaborative research and joint publications.
