CONTENT 1.Who we are 2.Current status o the network 3.Current activities 4.Partnerships and funding 5.Way forward

Who we are The Eastern and Southern Africa Region Seismological Working Group (ESARSWG) was ormed in 1993 in Dar Es Salaam It comprises 9 countries special interest in the EARS Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique The group aims at promoting earthquake monitoring and studies in geosciences by enhancing research work in seismology within the region. The group is formally constituted in with affiliation to the IASPEI through the Committee for Developing Countries (CDC).

Seismic Stations in the region

Training PhD - (Norway and Sweden) (4) Masters - (Sweden, Norway) (3) M.Sc. in the region (Ethiopia) Technical Training (10) Seismic Analyst Training (22) funding –IPPS -Government o Norway and Sweden

Analysts Training in Zimbabwe

WORKSHOPS Data Analysis, Hazard Assessment, Bulletin preparation. Tanzania -Dar Es Salaam -April 2009, August 2009 Zambia - Lusaka - February 2008 Zimbabwe -Bulawayo Uganda -Entebbe Kenya - Nairobi Kenya - Nairobi Ethiopia, -Addis Ababa Uganda -Kampala Tanzania -Dar-Es-Salaam Planned Workshops Tanzania 2010, Kenya 2011

Major Research Activities 1.Active fault Mapping of the Rukwa region ( ) 2. Velocity Model for East and Southern Africa 3. Seismic Calibration of North - East Africa 4. Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) Several Publication are published Distribution of mean PGA (in gals) values in Eastern and Southern Africa computed for 10% probability of Exceedance in 100 years (contour interval is 40 gals).

Problems Lack of funding for station operations in all countries (at least running cost) – respective governments are not involved in funding or even not aware of the benefit of running seismic station network Fragile data archiving system Vandalism of equipments, specially in field Lack of spare parts of hardware and competent expertise to maintain stations Brain drain

Way forward To make governments aware of the problem Training more Technicians, Analysts, M.Sc. and PhD students in the region Enhance research on seismology and improve seismic hazard map of the region
