Using maps to help fight against Gender Based Violence April21Janet Chapman
This document discusses how maps are being used to help prevent and respond to gender based violence in rural Tanzania. Local activists in rural areas were trained to add missing places and villages to online maps using a smartphone app to help locate girls at risk of FGM or in need of safe houses. Digital champions in each village were also selected and trained to map their villages, report gender based violence incidents using an app, and provide ongoing training and support to community members around issues like women's rights. The mapping data and reported incidents are then visualized and used by social workers and police to quickly protect vulnerable girls.
Six years of community mapping in rural TanzaniaJanet Chapman
This document summarizes 6 years of community mapping efforts in rural Tanzania led by Crowd2Map and Tanzania Development Trust. Over 16,000 volunteers have mapped over 5.3 million buildings, 300,000 km of roads, and 12,000 sq km across Tanzania. The mapping helps connect over 10,000 people living in areas not shown on any map. Through training local digital champions, the maps also help protect girls from female genital mutilation and gender-based violence by allowing them to find safe houses. In total, the mapping efforts have helped over 3,000 girls avoid being cut and coincided with a 75% reduction in FGM death rates over 5 years.
Community Mapping in Tanzania: a local solution towards SDG monitoringJanet Chapman
This document discusses how community mapping in rural Tanzania is helping to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Local organizations trained "Digital Champions" in villages to map locations like safe houses and report incidents of gender-based violence using smartphone apps. Remote volunteers also contribute to base maps using satellite imagery. The mapping helps activists and police quickly find and protect at-risk girls. Digital Champions also surveyed village services and priorities. Ongoing monitoring will track progress on priorities like healthcare access and clean water.

This document discusses efforts to map rural areas in Tanzania to help end female genital mutilation (FGM) and promote development. Community mappers, including some female mappers recruited through a grant, are using Maps.me to map their local areas. However, female mappers face additional challenges like harassment and being told their work is a waste of time. Suggestions to overcome these challenges include educating communities about the importance of mapping and promoting gender equality. While mapping has helped prevent some FGM cases, change remains a slow process.

Fighting Female Genital Mutilation in TanzaniaJanet Chapman
The Tanzania Development Trust works to end female genital mutilation (FGM) in Tanzania through various programs. They conduct community outreach to educate about the dangers of FGM, run safe houses for girls during "cutting season" school holidays, set up anti-FGM school clubs, screen films, map at-risk villages, and train "digital champions" to monitor and protect girls. They have helped over 1,000 girls and re-educated some former cutters, but face challenges of inadequate facilities and funding, as well as potential increased risk of FGM due to COVID-19 impacts.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is still practiced in parts of Tanzania. Activists there are using maps and mapping to help protect girls at risk. Volunteers in rural Tanzania have been trained to map local areas, places like safe houses, on an offline smartphone app. These improved maps are helping activists locate girls to prevent FGM, and have coincided with a 75% reduction in FGM deaths. The mapping work is also identifying missing places and helping activists and police respond faster to protect girls.

Humanitarian Openstreetmap Community Webinar on Mapping to End FGM in TanzaniaJanet Chapman
Crowd2Map is a volunteer run mapping project that has been mapping rural Tanzania since 2015, particularly to help protect girls from Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Since then, Crowd2Map have recruited over 1,300 online volunteers and 200 local mappers, and mapped over 1.1 million buildings and 64,000 km of roads and tracks. This has all been done on zero budget. Better maps in Serengeti have helped the number of girls being cut drop from 3700 last year to 1076 this, and the number of girls dying from 12 to 4.
This year, Crowd2Map are also very excited to be awarded a HOT Microgrant, which they are using to train village level Community Change Agents in 4 different areas of rural Tanzania. During the webinar, Janet will share the planning for this project, the barriers and enablers we have identified so far, and seek advice from the HOT community.

Crowd2Map Keynote at SOTM Nigeria Dec 22Janet Chapman
Over the past 7 years, Crowd2Map has mapped rural areas in Tanzania with over 17,000 volunteers contributing. They have mapped over 5.3 million buildings, nearly 300,000 km of roads, and over 12,000 sq km, adding over 10,000 points of interest. This mapping helps end female genital mutilation (FGM) by identifying safe houses and routes for activists. Recently, they have trained over 151 local digital champions and youth mappers to continue mapping in their villages and educate about FGM and gender-based violence. As a result of these mapping efforts, over 3,000 girls have avoided being cut, and the FGM death rate has reduced by 75%.
Lessons learnt from 5 years mapping rural Tanzania to fight FGMJanet Chapman
This document summarizes Crowd2Map's 5 years of experience mapping rural Tanzania to help fight female genital mutilation (FGM). Key lessons include that engaging uneducated rural communities is challenging but rewarding, people appreciate seeing maps of their villages for the first time, and training and building long-term relationships are important. Crowd2Map trained police and activists to use maps to find and protect girls at risk of FGM, and involved remote and local mappers through online tools like Slack. Their goal is to fully map Tanzania with the help of volunteers.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

29. Slack channel is good for
generating a community, and
for volunteers to ask
questions and get instant
feedback on their 1st
mapping attempts etc. – if
anyone would like to join
please let me know,
particularly if you can help
giving feedback to new
mappers!

34. REMOTE MAPPERS VS COMMUNITY MAPPERS
Highly educated to degree level or
beyond
Many did not complete secondary
school
Have used maps in their daily life since
childhood
Had never seen a map of their local area
Own and can skilfully use a large range
of technology
Had never used a smartphone, or laptop
or been online.
41. HOT Microgrant in 2017 enabled us to recruit
female mappers for the first time
42. But female mappers face additional challenges
with:
• Men telling them they are “wasting their
time” and should be at home doing their
chores
• Harrassment, threats and inappropriate
touching from men, particularly when
travelling on public transport
• Plots to lure them to remote places to be
raped
43. How can these challenges be overcome? IN THEIR WORDS
1.Educating people about maps
and mapping and its importance
to the community and nation at
large.
2.Men in villages to be educated
on gender equality and treating
women right.
3.Security to be increased in
villages; for example presence
of more police stations
44. SO WHY DO WOMEN MAP? IN THEIR WORDS
1. We do it to help increase
development in our communities.
2.To help girls escape FGM -activists
houses are being added and roads.
3.To help other women in villages be
able to escape gender based
violences like women beating
4.To be part of change in our
communities
45. HOW CAN THE MAPPING COMMUNITY HELP?
• Recognise additional challenges faced
• Put in structures to assist ie 50% participation,
women only groups, role models, being mindful
of male domination in training.
• Mapping aspects that are of importance to
women.
• More materials on why mapping rural areas
benefits women.
• Recognising additional funding needs
46. Digital Champions:
We have set up digital champions in all
87 villages in Serengeti, with a
smartphone for the 1st time, linked in a
WhatsApp group.
They help us monitor and protect the
girls in their village, and report any
issues.
We thank USAID for the initial $9000
funding for this through
WomenConnect.
54. And trained the police
and activists to use the
maps to quickly find and
protect girls at risk.
And also add missing
places to the map.
55.
56. Better maps have:
• helped 3000+ girls to find safehouses
and avoid being cut
• coincided with a reduced FGM
death rate of 75%
57. We have trained over 1600 local activists to map their
communities in Tanzania, around 40% female
58. We were invited to organise a
mapathon at UNFPA in New
York in September 2018.
It was attended by 60 people
from UNFPA, UNICEF,
HOTOSM, Youthmappers and
others
59. To coincide with this
we held a global
mapathon events in 60
countries.
Including at the
Ministry for Women in
Somalia, in Mali,
Guinea, Kenya, Niger,
Uganda and many
others.
60.
61. Lessons Learnt
• Engaging uneducated marginalised rural communities is hard but
rewarding
• Training opportunities are hugely appreciated
• Women have additional challenges
• Building relationships is key
• Long term
62. Please join us and help map Tanzania!
