The document outlines strategies for grounding and sustaining the OSM mapping project in Haiti. It discusses challenges such as limited resources and infrastructure in the post-disaster context. The strategy involves training local actors to consume and contribute OSM data to support preparedness, response, and development goals. Initial outcomes included growing the number of mappers and deploying them to map priority areas. Enablers included the OSM platform, HOT support, and tools like the Humanitarian Data Model to facilitate data collection and use. The next steps focused on strategic areas like emergency preparedness and development, as well as funding, hardware, training, and community building to further the project.

1. Grounding the OSM Project
The Humanitarian OSM Team in Haiti

2. Intro
Preparedness
Disaster response
* remote work
* field work: 7 weeks 3 missions (March - June 2010)
Early Recovery/ Development (MapKibera)
Powered by MapAction/ECHO and World Bank ($)
OSM & HOT
Supported in the field by UN (IOM), CNIGS, FOCS
Growth and sustainability of OSM project in Haiti (OSM Haiti)

3. Challenges
Time
Context :
* post disaster
* LDC & poverty vs VGI
* Accessibility to territories, internet & power
* Institutional fragmentation
* Under resourced ($, staffs & discontinuous GIS capacities
* Lack of IM/GIS culture
* Lack of high quality (geom & semantic) open data
-> Mis-use & under-use of scarce resources

4. Process/Continuum/Strategy
Overall Strategy
HOT Strategy & Planning document
Field Mission strategy
1 ENABLE GIS ACTORS TO BETTER CONSUME OSM
2 ENABLE GIS ACTORS TO CONTRIBUTE TO OSM
3 OUTREACH TO HAITIAN CIVIL SOCIETY
4 FOSTER THE USE OF OSM IN GIS ACTORS WORK
5 FOSTER SYNERGIES GIS ACTORS & HAITIAN OSM
COMMUNITY (grassroot) IN ACTIVITIES

5. Outcomes
* March/ April: 60
* May: 70
* June: 200
* Internationals/ National/ Grassroot actors
* Drivers to GIS practitioners
* Survey - Editing - GIS
* Port Au Prince, Jacmel/ Leogane/ Gonaives
* Empowered with hardware kits & access to functional working
spaces
* OSM in Map Production & in humanitarian baseline surveys

- Incorporate OSM Haiti
- Academic ecosystem
- Economic ecosystem

26. Next
Activities
- Funding
- Hardware
- Data imports
- HDM & questionnaires & Presets & symbology
- Toolkit
** Mobile devices

Training force
Incubator for new economic model
Empowerment
Glocal continuum (development - emergency - development)
allowing collective open cumulative GI knowledge building
process
