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.

Empowering female mappers in rural tanzania hot summit 2017 crowd2 mapJanet Chapman
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.

OpenStreetMap and crowdsourced mapping projects such as Crowd2Map, Data Zetu and Ramani Huria can help empower rural communities in Tanzania to put themselves on the map and contribute towards their development.
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%.

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.

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.

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.

& HELP PREVENT FGM - CROWD2MAP TANZANIA
Janet Chapman
j.chapman@tanzdevtrust.org
2. WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
• The remote villages where TDT works are EXTREMELY
poorly mapped.
• Local officials lack maps of their area.
• This makes navigation and planning difficult.
• We are mapping onto Openstreetmap that is
accessible to everyone online and on phones.
3. WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
• Much of rural Tanzania is blank in Google Maps and Openstreetmap.
MOST RURAL TANZANIA LOOKED LIKE
THIS WHEN WE STARTED - AND MUCH OF
IT STILL DOES..
Zeze village, Kigoma,
population 8200, 2015
4. WE’RE MAPPING RURAL
TANZANIA. WHY?
LOCAL MAPPERS ADDED POINTS OF
INTEREST, CHURCHES, SHOPS,
SCHOOLS, WATER POINTS USING
MAPS.ME ON PHONES…
REMOTE MAPPERS ADDED ROADS
AND BUILDINGS (TASK 1069 –
THANKS PETE!)…
5. INITIAL FOCUS: FIGHTING FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION IN MUGUMU, SERENGETI
Tanzania Development Trust’s largest project is a Safe House
for girls refusing Female Genital Mutilation, run by FGM
survivor Rhobi Samwelly. She visits the villages around
Mugumu to tell girls about the Safe House and the dangers
of FGM. This work was hampered by the lack of maps
showing the location of the villages.
6. MAPPING ON MAPS.ME
When Maps.Me released
version that allowed
users to add points
directly to OSM we
started training local

20. WINS
• Mugumu Safe House able to reach more
girls in Mara via
Discovery of remote villages
Reaching remote villages (limited
roads, bridges, issues in rainy
season)
Fuel planning
Better maps will eventually help
girls reach the Safe House on their
own
“We’re reaching places that we’ve never reached before”
21. WHAT WE’VE ACHIEVED..
• We’ve now recruited over 1500 online volunteers and
199 local mappers.
• mapped an area of over 16,248 square kilometres,
added 5 towns and 175 villages and hamlets.
• added over 62,128 km of roads and tracks and over a
million buildings..
• Countrywide we have added 12,294 schools and 162
clinics to Openstreetmap from government open
data.
22.
23. EFFECT ON FGM
Having better maps helped
• prevent 2257 girls from being cut this year.
However change is a slow process.
• 1076 girls were still cut in Mara, down from
3700 the previous year,
• and 4 girls died, down from 12 last year.
24. PEACE CORPS
Trained 50 Peace
Corps Volunteers

• Child labour positions
• Girls hostels
• Number of children in village with disabilities
• Whether they are in school
• What support they get
• School infrastructure
• toilets,
• water supply,
• teachers’ houses
30. CODING HELP REQUEST
1. Clustering buildings into residential areas / villages.
2. Import of high quality / high accuracy curated datasets, e.g.
from academic institutions.
3. Android apps to support mapping in the field for users who
are unfamiliar with smart phones, eg to monitor GPS accuracy
Whatever we do, and whatever we find, will be shared with the
community, through blog posts, documentation on the OSM
wiki, etc. We’ll take care of that, but would like to find volunteers
who can help with the technical aspects.

Editor's Notes
Sometime hand drawn map on wall, often not. Getting lost driving through rivers in the rain. Asked local reps to draw map of where village was, they couldn’t
Points added in OSM and Maps.Me
Rhobi at a roadshow against FGM in a village near Mugumu. Challenge in outreach in villages, no maps
Moved to maps.me
Tried OSMAND, but difficult for novice users
Maps me brilliant now you can add points, but list not that suitable for rural Africa..

say more on Mapping competition how much are people contributing
EMR: how many people? How well are they engaging? Are the points accurate? Reliable ?
Via Facebook, Whats app
Set up project on HOT for area around Mugumu,

EMR: prepare for Qs about open data. Where did you get it from? Was it government-collected? Are you sure it is usable? Did you consider importing it straight to OSM (not manual)? Is that all the data you got? How recent is it? Are you still accessing other open data from elshwere ?
Over 900 volunteers largely through UN online volunteers, regular contact via email.
It is possible to automatically cluster buildings into residential areas / villages according to some rule set. So you might say if there are “more than 10 buildings no more than 50m from each other" then create an outline - more technically a convex hull, and mark that as residential area. Such a rule set would give you some "definites" - but we need to get the software in place, and need to determine the rule set.
There will be cases that would need to be checked manually / referred to crowd sourcing. So how do we extract those cases, and what crowd sourcing tools can we use to fix those?
With Bjoern Hassler from Cambridge University, I’ve been talking to Chris Grundy at LSHTM about academic (high accuracy) datasets they have available, that are CC / public domain and thus available for OSM. We’d like to develop an automated process that imports these data sets. The challenge is to check for existing data points, and the algorithm would need to check whether a village already exists nearby the new data point, and take action on that basis. Again, there'll be some definites, but also some cases that would need to be checked manually. Again, we'd love to work with a volunteer.
