- 2. 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?
- 3. 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.
- 4. WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY? URBAN TANZANIA LOOKS LIKE THIS: (DAR ES SALAAM) Thanks to great work of Ramani Huria
- 5. 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
- 6. 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.
- 7. PILOT PROJECT: EPICOLLECT+ Travelling around rural Tanzania mapping with Epicollect and getting local volunteers involved.

- 12. TRANSFERRING GOV OPEN DATA TO OSM data from http://opendata.go.tz/
- 13. TRANSFERRING GOV OPEN DATA TO OSM Over 200 online volunteers manually added schools and clinics.
- 14. 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
- 15. 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.
- 16. 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.
- 17. MAPPING COMPETITION! Sharing the leader board on What’s App groups was good at increasing motivation
- 18. 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
- 19. INACCURATE, DUPLICATE ENTRIES … Delay in Maps.Me data can lead to 2 users adding same information and so duplicate data
- 20. COMMUNICATION: FACEBOOK Volunteer mappers were using their own smartphones which were generally low spec and often had issues with finding GPS
- 21. COMMUNICATION: WHATSAPP Posting of updates about monthly competition increased motivation.
- 22. 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.
