Core SANA Study Results

	Air pollution	Occupational health	Climate change
Ethiopia	Inadequate research on air pollution levels and associated health impacts Need to establish indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring systems	Limited OSH research Predominant OSH issues included accidents/injuries Lack of systematic hazard surveillance Existing regulatory documents did not address emerging industries such as construction industry and floriculture	Climate changed recognized as a critical national concern Lack of sufficient capacity and collaboration among organizations on the planning and execution of climate change and health activities Lack of policies and programs
Kenya	Inadequate research on air pollution levels and associated health impacts Need to establish air quality monitoring systems	Lack of systematic OHS monitoring system Need for systematic OHS monitoring system Need for specific OSH policies was greatest for the agricultural and informal sectors	Limited climate change and health‐related research and data available Lack of policies and programs that target climate change and health Need research and empirical data in an easily retrievable information system
Rwanda	No data on air pollution levels and associated health impacts Lack of infrastructure and capacity for air quality monitoring Growing number of motor vehicles becoming a significant contributor to air pollution Need for capacity building to conduct exposure assessment research Need to establish air quality monitoring systems and to prioritize traffic‐related air quality monitoring and policy development	Substantial governmental efforts in promoting OSH through laws, regulations, and policies OSH challenges remain due lack of capacity, implementation, and enforcement Need for further capacity building and improved monitoring and information management	Some climate change research and data available; irregularities in climate patterns including rainfall variability found Policy and institutional responses, particularly to support small farmers adapt to climate change Lack of coordination in policy implementation across governmental agencies Need for a harmonized institutional framework for coordination and delivery of services related to the environment
Uganda	Limited research on air pollution levels and associated health impacts Lack of capacity among universities to conduct research Lack of air pollution policies and guidelines including vehicle and factories emissions which are increasing in number Low awareness around the health effects of air pollution Need to establish air quality monitoring systems	Governmental efforts in promoting OSH through laws, regulations, and policies OSH challenges remain due lack of capacity, implementation, and enforcement Need for further capacity building among stakeholders around existing policies	Climate changed recognized as a national concern Documented impacts of climate change include extreme weather events, reduced agricultural productivity, and shifts in disease Lack of policy, legislation, and guidelines for mainstreaming climate change into development programs Need for capacity building and comprehensive research and policy development
