Dr. Anayawa Nyambe is a Medical Scientist with a background in Public Health. She is currently affiliated with the University of Zambia and has been volunteering at the Zambia National Public Health Institute in the COVID-19 response. Her doctorate was an in-depth study on the factors affecting the uptake of cervical cancer prevention measures. In climapAfrica, her research will focus on providing strategies and guidelines for the prevention of heat stress during outdoor work by investigating how extreme heat exposure is perceived and exploring the extent to which Zambian farmers have been affected by the rise in global temperatures.

I participate at climapAfrica because...
ClimapAfrica provides an opportunity for African researchers to develop their skills and grow their network while contributing their expertise to the study of climate change. Personally, I appreciate being given this chance to help rural communities in my country adapt to a changing environment.
