Africa@home
Volunteer computing project
Africa@home is a website that allow users to use their home computers to contribute for humanitarian causes at Africa. This project first went public on 13 July 2006.[1] It partners with Swiss Tropical Institute, the University of Geneva, CERN, and ICVolunteers (ICV). It is sponsored by the Geneva International Academic Network (GIAN).[2]
Africa@home together with ICVolunteers, recruited volunteers across Africa to help with the project.[3] The Malaria Control Project (MCP) was the first and the only volunteer computing project run by Africa@home.[2] MCP ran for 10 years and became inactive since 21 June 2016.[4]
