USING LOCAL & SATELLITE MAPPING TO FIGHT FGM–
CROWD2MAP TANZANIA
State of the Map, HOT Summit
September 2016
Janet Chapman
LUCKY MEETUP AT
MOZILLA
FESTIVAL 2015

“TEST” PROJECT TO
ENGAGE LOCALS IN
CROWDSOURCING /
CITIZEN SCIENCE
DATA COULD BE USED TO
MAKE A MAP!!!
HOW DID CROWD2MAP TANZANIA COME TO BE?
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
• Tanzania Development Trust funds grassroots
organisations in the poorest areas of rural Tanzania
where there are no other international NGOs
working.
• Typical projects include bore holes for villages
without water, solar for clinics so women don’t have
to give birth in the dark, desks so school children
don’t have to sit on the floor.
• These remote villages are EXTREMELY poorly mapped.
• Local officials lack maps of their area.
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
URBAN TANZANIA LOOKS LIKE THIS: (DAR ES SALAAM)
Thanks to great work of Ramani
Huria
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
• Rural Tanzania is blank in Google Maps.
• Received important input from a GIS colleague: “It’s not blank in OSM!”
• But actually…
MOST RURAL TANZANIA LOOKED LIKE
THIS WHEN WE STARTED - AND MUCH OF
IT STILL DOES..
Zeze village, Kigoma,
population 8000
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
THANKS TO MISSING MAPS, SOME OF IT LOOKED LIKE THIS (ZEZE, -4.8987578, 30.0577604)
Roads added in Kigoma from
http://tasks.hotosm.org/proj
ect/1069 due to influx of
Burundi refugees.
But Zeze still not named.
PILOT PROJECT: EPICOLLECT+
Travelling around rural Tanzania mapping with
Epicollect and getting local volunteers involved.
PILOT PROJECT: EPICOLLECT+
LOCALS LEARNING TO USE OSM ON LAPTOPS
OSM training session in Zeze secondary
school. Only 1 laptop available.
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL
TANZANIA. WHY?
LOCALS HAVE BEEN MAPPING POINTS
OF IMPORTANCE, WORSHIP PLACES,
SHOPS, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY
LIBRARY …
FOCUS: FIGHTING FGM IN MUGUMU
Rhobi at a roadshow against FGM in a village near
Mugumu.
TRANSFERRING GOV OPEN DATA TO OSM
data from http://opendata.go.tz/
TRANSFERRING GOV OPEN DATA TO OSM
Over 200 online
volunteers manually
added schools and
clinics.
FINDING A SUITABLE MAPPING PLATFORM
Issues with poor map in Epicollect, and points had
to be manually added to OSM, so changed to
Maps.Me
MAPPING ON MAPS.ME
When new version of
Maps.Me allowed users
to add points directly to
OSM we started using
that instead of Epicollect.
MAPPING ON MAPS.ME
Users in Tanzania loved
Maps.Me, but long list of
irrelevant categories causes
confusion so Maps.Me are
producing a cut down
version, initially in English,
but later in Swahili too.
MAPPING COMPETITION!
Sharing the leader board on What’s App
groups was good at increasing motivation
REMOTE VILLAGES ARE STILL MISSING FROM MAPS …
• Where are they ?
• How are they called ?
• How many people live there ?
• Are they accessible by roads?
Are there bridges?
Posting questions on Facebook group
INACCURATE, DUPLICATE ENTRIES …
Delay in Maps.Me data can lead to 2 users
adding same information and so duplicate data
COMMUNICATION: FACEBOOK
Volunteer mappers were using their
own smartphones which were
generally low spec and often had
issues with finding GPS
COMMUNICATION: WHATSAPP
Posting of updates about
monthly competition
increased motivation.
SATELLITE MAPPING VIA HOT TASK MANAGER /project/1788
http://tasks.hotosm.org/
project/1788#
We need to finish this
before the cutting season
starts in December.
TRIPLE MAPPING PARTY, MAY 2016!

 Better maps will help girls reach
the Safe House on their own
“We’re reaching places that we’ve never reached before”
MAPILLARY IN TANZANIA
Starting to add photos of terrain using
Mapillary – particularly useful to show
road conditions in the rainy season.
MAPILLARY IN TANZANIA
 Develop Swahili version of Maps.Me
 Get more phones before next training round in November 2016
 Project to map clinics and villages in Maswa requested by District Medical
Officer
 Validators needed
 Funding to continue Mapping Competitions for locals & mapathons
 Funding for training local “mapping experts”
