The efforts of community-based projects such as Open Street Maps and Wikimedia that are concentrated on activating Africa's spaces and knowledges face more challenges than most regions. At times it seems like there are insurmountable odds stacked against them – especially when it comes to access, control, representation, and participation. In this talk I use the Wikipedia work as an example of where we currently stand; hoping that together as aligned communities, we can leap over these challenges, whilst taking the opportunity to do it on our own terms.

Reusing OpenStreetMap Data and FOSS4G This presentation will demonstrate OSGeoLive and how to reuse OpenStreetMap, with several Free and Open Source Software for GeoSpatial included. [OSGeoLive](https://live.osgeo.org/en/) is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around. It provides pre-configured applications for a range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysis and manipulation of data. Not only that, but it also contains sample datasets (such as OpenStreetMap, etc.,) and documentation. The [Open Source Geospatial Foundation](https://www.osgeo.org/about/) (OSGeo) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to foster global adoption of open geospatial technology by being an inclusive software foundation devoted to an open philosophy and participatory community driven development. The foundation provides financial, organizational and legal support to the broader open source geospatial community.

For editing, the contributors used JOSM Editor with several plugins to ease the conflation process. The instructions were developed to ensure that the import would result in data which would be as good, if not better, than what is usually produced by manual digitizing/traditional remote mapping. Each building proposed for import was to be compared with the project-specific Maxar mosaic and with the data already existing in OSM. We’ll describe the OSM import guidelines that were followed, then the specific challenges met with this dataset extracted through machine learning will be explained. Considering the growing availability of such AI-related datasets, we’ll review common errors and how we adapted to them and to other issues such as imagery offsets, heterogeneity of existing data and other context specific challenges. Eventually we’ll propose recommendations regarding this type of editing and aspects to consider before starting such imports.

Even with the access of satellite imagery and mapping softwares like JOSM and QGIS, the process has still been slow. To help solve this problem, researchers, engineers and developers have developed a new method (Map With AI) that uses deep learning techniques to predict features like buildings and road networks from commercially available high resolution satellite imagery. Map With AI also offers a new set of specialized map-editing services and tools. It includes an editor interface (RapiD) which allows mapping experts to easily review, verify and adjust the map as needed. As OpenMap Development Tanzania (OMDTZ) we have been mapping several tasks that involve Artificial Intelligence data in road networks. Based on the objectives and the core goals of the project only roads were mapped. Mapping activities were first done remotely and later we sent a team to do ground verification in one of the aforementioned regions (Dodoma). The ground truthing was important because it allowed us to verify the remote work, and also add additional data only obtainable from the ground. Starting with remote mapping, we used special edition of the OSM Tasking Manager, JOSM software (customized with presets, validation rules, map paint styles) and installed with the MapWithAI plugin (for adding predicted roads to the OSM layer). To ensure high data quality, a professional workflow has been deployed: editing, reviewing, publishing and final checking. During remote mapping, some features were unclear from the imagery so there was a need to go to the field for verification and add value to the imported road data. Since the imagery we had for the Dodoma region was unclear, it was selected to be the first region for ground truthing. Different road attributes, including street names, the nature of the surface (paved and unpaved), road condition and public transport stops were also mapped to make the mapping more impactful. In data collection various field mapping tools and mobile applications were deployed to facilitate the task such as OpenDataKit (ODK), Mapillary, and mobile phone cameras. Data collected were uploaded to OSM and to Mapillary. With respect to the survey conducted in Dodoma the following were the achievements: verification of unclear objects, gaining new skills of data collection to Youth Mappers and community members, new added road attributes to the map, and developed relationships with Institute of Rural Development Planning (IRDP) and the Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Authority (TARURA). Despite the achievements mentioned above there are also some challenges encountered during the survey such as accessing some Points of Interest (POI) which were remote and hard to reach, capturing street view images on busy roads was very challenging, and some locations had restricted access. We plan on completing the remaining regions by the end of the year, and are optimistic about the many ways that the road networks in Tanzania will impact communities and businesses across the country.

Leaders can use location intelligence(such as OSM, GeOSM, etc) to visualize and analyze business and community growth potential, combining data about demographics, lifestyle, and spending. This strategic approach helps communities create jobs, identify opportunities for economic gardening, and attract new business. Maps provide community leaders, businesses, and investors with key data and iterative development plans in real time. Spatial analysis and mapping can empower critical decisions about residential or commercial areas, land use, transportation, emergency preparedness and public spaces. The goal is to help build resilient, sustainable communities with long term economic and environmental sustainability by empowering critical decision making through provision of tailor made decisions.

Return of experience in France with OSM France. OpenStreetMap is a free geographic database of the world; one can find there data going from a street (crosswalk, traffic lights, etc.) to those of a territory (ground occupation, administrative divisions, buildings, etc.). This database is used a lot for the creation of maps. Only each map created with OpenStreetMap, shows only the data that the creator wanted to show according to the need he wants to cover. OSM DATA is a space where you can let your imagination create cartographic renderings on OSM data. The renderings are customizable thanks to QGIS, which allows to take advantage of the rendering engine of this software. OSM DATA is a demonstrator because it shows and convinces on the level of maturity of the OSM contribution at the scale of France with more than 365 layers (more than one layer per day in the year)! Finally, OSM DATA is a viewer because it allows you to understand in a user-friendly way how the expertise of the communities of contributors is distributed. We will see how OSM DATA works in France, the team behind, how to create a rendering and visualize some of the renderings already present.

The global impact of the OpenStreetMap project as a geospatial database of the people, created by the people and for the people is a measurable driving force for community engagement at local levels. In Nigeria, flood disaster is seasonal, ravaging vulnerable communities annually. This year 2021, about 121 local government areas in 27 states of Nigeria were declared highly vulnerable flood risk communities by the Nigerian Hydrological Service Agency. These communities need urgent response to save lives and properties before the peak of the disastrous flood season. Without critical geospatial data that unveils the estimated population by household at risk to the imminent flood, a proactive rapid response would not be achieved. This paper, therefore, provides an analysis of building footprints contributed by volunteer mappers using the HOT Tasking Manager project as well as its challenges and opportunities for sustainable geographic data infrastructure in Nigeria. The Unique Mappers Network mandate for open map data development in Nigeria using the OpenStreetMap Project is a sustainable development action to be leveraged upon by all stakeholders for disaster risk reduction in Nigeria.

Difficult geographical terrain adds more stresses on emergency preparedness and disaster management in the districts. Similarly, lack of proper road networks, vulnerable and risky trails pose critical challenges in management of logistics and delivery of emergency relief and support to the affected region during crises. Hence, these districts were in extreme need of identifying and mapping existing trails and infrastructures to enhance emergency preparedness and effective response during an emergency. During the project period (2019-2020), over 80 local people including local government officials, security forces, ground level emergency responders, women and other community members from these three districts were sensitized on the importance of mapping and data preparedness for disaster. A selected group of 63 local people (local youths, women and emergency responders) were provided hands-on training on the use of digital tools such as OSMTracker and GPS for field based data collection. As a result, over 4000 data points (education, health amenities, security, trail network, river crossings, market centers, hazards, constraints, settlements, utilities, landing zones and others) and their attributes were collected and over 1700 km of local trails were mapped in these districts. These collected datasets have also been uploaded to OSM, shared to respective local governments, humanitarian and relevant agencies for wider dissemination. In addition, these data points have also been plotted in thematic GIS maps and compiled in the form of atlas map books and shared at local levels for better data visualization. This project primarily required the participatory involvement of local governments and relevant stakeholders and their engagement in the project since its commencement have led to recognition of the importance of data, data preparedness and emergency preparedness to respond to crises. Identifying data gaps and the need of intervention to bridge data gaps have now become one of the major priorities at local level. Similarly, the involvement of local people from these districts has also developed a sense of ownership on the data and collective outputs generated during the project. These activities are aimed at creating a strong database for effective planning and decision making relevant to DRR at local and municipal levels in the district. Moreover, capacity building at local level and mobilization of local human resources to collect data for DRR reflects data preparedness at local level and the sustainable approach of this project.

Geohazard Risk Mapping Initiative (GRMI) is an initiative that brings together volunteer to contribute to the mapping of locations that are susceptible to flood during the 2021 rainy season. Those flood prediction maps are made with the goal of sharing with the communities and emergency management agencies so as facilitate flood preparedness. The output of the flood prediction analysis demands information on the location of buildings and road networks, which are to be shown on the map as the potential building and infrastructure that might be affected by the predicted flood. Hence, GRMI conducted numerous remote mapathon events that entail the mapping of those areas that are susceptible to flooding in Nigeria. Aside from the mapping of buildings by the indigene of Nigeria, GRMI also collaborates with other International Youth mappers to host mapathon event all in the effort of contributing to open data mapping which is critical for effective flood preparedness and response to the most vulnerable communities in Nigeria. Those contributed open data are then used by the GRMI to develop interactive flood early warning maps (https://bit.ly/3i3o1UP), through this webmap which indicate various flood risk level, the communities member can easily query and search of their house and see the level of risk to flood.

Quote from Floriam Marembo from SDFN: “From Namibia's perspective, we can testify that OSM is important, especially as a source of spatial data. We have realized that mapping is key to knowing and understanding infrastructure. Through OSM we map not only to have access to spatial data but also to make it accessible and available. Quality data may just be what we need as inhabitants of informal settlements to create platforms of discussion on upgrading.” The session will likely include short case study presentations from panelists (tbc), followed by a curated discussion on the successes, challenges and lessons learnt experienced by communities leveraging geospatial data (including OpenStreetMap) to try to solve priority issues for inhabitants of informal settlements, as well as exploring the importance of partnerships and coalitions in this process. The purpose of the session is to: share and amplify knowledge around mapping of informal settlements by local community groups; highlight the importance of community leadership in this process; and to understand the role that OpenStreetMap data and communities can play in support of positive social change for people living in informal settlements. Our panel of experts for the session are: Florian Marembo, graduate of the University of Namibia and a student at the Namibia University of Science and Technology, founder and director of Marembo Charity Foundation, member of Shack Dwellers Federation of Namibia and OSM facilitator.

Congo. It was meant to house 10,000 people but has reached its maximum absorption and now has over 43,000 registered refugees and asylum seekers. This increase means that the resources in the camp barely cater to the needs of the already vulnerable population. The Dzaleka mapping project aims at generating geospatial data by integrating drones, OpenStreetMap and other geospatial technologies. The data generated will show the provision of basic needs at the refugee camp. Mapping out the different centers together with their relevant statistics will allow us and any interested party to get a picture of the extent to which people living in the camp have access to the different amenities.

Looking to many African cities, urbanization challenges is increasing over the past years that lead to increased urban disasters among other challenges such as Flooding (Bapari, Haque et al. 2016). Due to the increase of these challenges, local skills for solving these challenges is needed in order to be able to find a solution during the rise of these challenges. Provision of skills to young university students is currently based on the basic university curriculum training that is not necessarily looking on the current urban challenges. Hence there is no long-term sustainability to using the local skills to finding urban solutions. Young, graduated experts need to be able to steer urbanization to sustainable trajectories with digital skills of geospatial data and technologies, which enable urban transformation. Therefore, this is a major opportunity for African universities and their students’ future employment.

Map Kibera and GroundTruth Initiative worked to track these impacts in Nairobi, focusing on the themes of education, water and sanitation. This talk will present the outcomes of the project, which focused on the mapping in OSM of schools, water points, and toilet facilities in the informal settlements of Kibera and Mathare. These updates to existing OSM data help show how the pandemic affected these sectors by looking historically at changes. Additionally, individual surveys about access to water during shortages and impacts of school closings and disruptions help paint a picture of how Nairobi's lower income residents have been particularly impacted by the pandemic. There is also a strong gender component to the impacts which will be highlighted. The project used a combination of tools, which will also be presented: Kobo Toolbox for mapping and individual survey collection, OSM for map data, and data analysis in QGIS. The Kenya team was supported by many other team members from the C2M2 project for data analysis. Additionally, participants in Africa included Bukavu in the DRC and Pemba in Mozambique; we will briefly share their map outcomes as well. The "Africa Hub" which included Nairobi, Pemba and Bukavu showed that across the continent, economic and social impacts of Covid-19 on vulnerable groups were particularly challenging.

This work has centered around making existing secondary datasets available via open source platforms and collecting data via remote and field data collection sessions to fill in data gaps to OSM in target CP3 areas. It additionally supports integrating this data, and information management workflows, into Red Cross National Society and CP3 program needs. As a program centered around epidemic and pandemic preparedness, COVID-19 has brought to the forefront the relevance of data for food distribution, border screening, installation of handwashing stations, and health facilities. The data and map products made available for National Society Covid-19 planning and response were the result of not just the availability of individual cartographers, but also the data collection and open source advocacy that has been central in CP3 in Guinea, Uganda, DRC, Kenya, and Indonesia.

From the Kivus to Moanda via Kinshasa, from Lubumbashi to Bunia through Kamina, discover the mappers, how they map and get organized, and how they deal with their local challenges. ##Podcasting: Promoting Awareness of Open Geo in Africa ###Africa GeoConvo There has always been a need to promote awareness of open geo including Openstreetmap by using different communication channels, especially in Africa. When people don't have information they need, they miss out on a lot of opportunities, ultimately resulting in low morale. Creating a content library of podcast is a great strategy to promote and disseminate useful information to the community - this is what we are doing with Africa Geospatial Conversation (Africa Geoconvo). ##5 Tips for Building Local OSMCommunities in Low Income Economies ###Thando Mathe This talk explores 5 ideas on how to build sustainable OSM Communities of local mappers in low economically developed countries in Africa. To start mapping, one needs access to a computer and internet. These aren’t readily available and accessible for most young mapping enthusiasts due to high costs of data and the likes. This means a select few have the opportunity to fully participate consistently as an organised group of mapping community. To circumnavigate these challenges 5 basic approaches are proposed including partnering with local institutions, hosting scheduled events, creating specific micro-objectives, and working in small groups.

The project looked at creating and adding more local detail to OpenStreetMap through the use of street-level photos captured through Mapillary. Under this project, three cities in Uganda were piloted and extensive Mapillary campaigns were carried out to capture over 100000 photos with street details. These Cities included Masaka in the Central, Lira in the North, and Mbale city in the East. A combined effort of the MapUganda Community, YouthMappers from different chapters in Uganda, and the city administrators made this project possible. The project involves two phases that are Mapillary photo capture and JOSM Mapping. After the photos are captured, uploaded, and published on Mapillary, then tasks are created on the HOT Tasking manager to organize the mapping. Mapillary Plugin is then downloaded and configured in JOSM and the captured photos are then used to add details to the existing remotely mapped data.

Through this initiative, the [Department of Operational Support (DOS)](https://operationalsupport.un.org/en) of the [United Nations](https://un.org/) helps countries torn by conflict to create the necessary conditions for lasting peace. Building upon previous initiatives in which the main objective was the production of topographic maps, the [United Nations Global Service Centre (UNGSC)](https://www.unlb.org/), the [United Nations Geospatial Information Section in New York](https://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/english/htmain.htm), and three peacekeeping missions - UNSOS, MONUSCO and MINUSCA - established in August 2019 the foundation of this new and wider global initiative. At the moment, Unite Maps is supporting the activities of 6 UN peacekeeping missions: [UNSOS](https://unsos.unmissions.org/) (Somalia), [MONUSCO](https://monusco.unmissions.org/en) (Democratic Republic of the Congo), [MINUSCA](https://minusca.unmissions.org/en) (Central African Republic), [MINUSMA](https://minusma.unmissions.org/en) (Mali), [UNMISS](https://unmiss.unmissions.org/) (South Sudan), [UNISFA](https://unisfa.unmissions.org/) (region of Abyei). Within this framework, UN personnel on the field is requesting the editing of specific areas of interest on OpenStreetMap. Even non GIS professionals are enabled to produce cartographic products as topographic, urban and site maps directly from the Maps On Demand (MOD) application. These products use OpenStreetMap baseline data mixed with UN authoritative data for sensible features. Unite Maps provides OSM data as an organised editing activity and we inform, contact and collaborate with the local communities living and editing in the areas where we map too. When possible and approved by the overall OSM community, Unite Maps organizes imports of data from UN Peacekeeping missions internal databases. Unite Maps contributes to OSM data extraction both editing with an internal mapping facility and crowdsourcing with a network of mappers, the [UN Mappers](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Unite_Maps_Initiative/UN_Mappers). UN Mappers is a thriving community ranging from UN personnel on the field (GIS groups, UN offices, military and police) to academia (highschools and universities), from local communities and NGOs to any remote volunteer in the world. The crowdsourcing team is organising collaborative editing events, trainings and mapping parties, as well as working on the production of educational material on OSM in different languages, delivered publicly through the Unite Maps Learning Hub. It also constantly interacts with local communities, by doing capacity building and helping in growing their community basis and outreach.

Lack of data also makes measuring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) impossible. SDG 11.2 calls for “safe, affordable, accessible, and sustainable transport systems for all” and parallels other global targets to reduce air pollution and decarbonize the transport sector. In other words, in order to design better, safer, cleaner and more inclusive transit we need data. In 2017, as an initial response to this challenge, partners from World Resources Institute Ross Center for Sustainable Cities (WRI), the French Development Agency (AFD), Columbia University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created DigitalTransport4Africa—a collaborative digital commons and global network that works to scale up and support urban mobility projects through open standardized data, open-source software and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. It provides support for government, tech companies and civil society actors to map city transit networks and foster ecosystems and skills that enable cities to leverage data for critical transport improvements. DT4A aims to create such data to: 1) foster universal access to opportunities, with an emphasis on vulnerable groups including women and children, people living with disabilities and those living in extreme poverty 2) improve efficiency through reliable, affordable, and quality transit services, inclusive of all formal, semi-formal and informal transit providers 3) enhance safety to reduce traffic-related fatalities, injuries and crashes 4) to minimize the negative environmental impact of mobility, which includes Greenhouse Gas emissions and air pollution 5) adhere to principles of Open Data and transit data standards. Currently, the project is a consortium of 14 international and regional partners who pledge towards open data on transit in African cities. In addition to the partners, the project works closely with diverse network of city authorities and residents, academic institutions, private civic technology companies and local mapping communities across the continent.

As COVID-19 disrupted learning around the world, unequal access to education and technology has only become more urgent to address. OpenStreetMap, as a global movement with a low barrier of entry, has the potential to support learning of geography and technology while reducing the impact of this inequity. We’ll also discuss and share ideas on: - How can we overcome barriers such as access to technology and the internet to ensure that all students have an opportunity to learn through OpenStreetMap? - What successes have you achieved in teaching OpenStreetMap to students and vocational learners? - What challenges do you have or have you experienced in introducing OpenStreetMap in and other learning environments? - How can schools collaborate across borders and use OpenStreetMap to learn from each other? This Birds of a Feather will also serve as a listening session for TeachOSM organizers to hear how they can better support and collaborate with OSM Africa communities to integrate OpenStreetMap into schools. Started in 2013 as a grassroots project by educators for educators, TeachOSM provides educator training, content and curriculum for integrating OpenStreetMap in the classroom, and advocates for OpenStreetMap in educational settings.

In efforts of bridging these gaps Agri Thamani needed authentic data to be used in its evidence-based advocacy and this is where the need for data comes in. Accordingly, Agri Thamani became part of OSM Community through the HOTSM Micro Grant by Open Map Development Tanzania (OMDTZ) under the project known as; “Mapping Nutrition Interventions and the Most Vulnerable Households in Bukoba Municipal”. Through this project, we will be mapping and collecting different data from vulnerable households, secondary schools, health centres and communities in streets ODK, monitor field officers using Kobo Tool Box, upload the generated data using JOSM, and lastly, using spatial data (QGIS) to develop evidence-based advocacy to multi-stakeholders. In our presentation, we will also share how Agri Thamani used OSM tool and how we used the GIS to develop powerful advocacy maps and telling a story of interventions through maps, which enabled us to achieve buy-in from decision makers.

OMDTZ will use a community mapping approach to carry out activities in the field i.e Engaging local community members and agricultural officers during data collection. Local knowledge from community members will not only ensure timely data collection in specific locations but also create a sense of data ownership and develop a sustainable relationship. Use of open source tools/software to collect data; to train, carry out a successful field campaign and leave sustainable data and mapping methodology with the local community. Open-source software will be used so that the engaged communities can replicate the knowledge to update the database. The idea behind this is to develop an environment to create a network of mapping volunteers and champions. The tools include OpenDataKit Collect (ODK) for data collection, JavaOpenStreetMap Editor (JOSM) for data cleaning and upload to OSM, Quantum GIS (QGIS) for processing the data, etc. Education to agricultural and extension officers on how the mapping is conducted and maps are produced can inform decision-making in food security and influence policies. This will ensure the incorporation of maps and data as needed tools to plan and make decisions to visit and provide professional advice to farmers and ensure appropriate knowledge and sustainable production and storage.

Pour réaliser la cartographie, l'équipe locale a utilisé des outils simples: un smartphone avec une caméra et un GPS. Les images et les données cartographiques ont été collectées sans connexion Internet à l'aide d'application du smartphone OSMTracker for Android et sont ensuite téléchargées sur le site Web https://www.openstreetmap.org/ en tant que traces GPS. En traçant toutes les lignes, tous les POI de chaque itinéraire sont enregistrés, tels que ( lhôpitaux, écoles, universités, administrations publiques ...), ce qui permet d'augmenter le volume de données collectées sur chaque itinéraire. Parallèlement au trace d'itinéraires à l'aide d'un smartphone, des questionnaires sont remplis par des données complémentaires telles que ( nom de la ligne, Nom de Point de départ + nom de point d'arrêt, listes des stations, coût/prix, heure de début/ fin de service, durée total du trajet sur la ligne...). Tous les soirs pendant cette période, l'équipe de travail se réunit pour telécharger les résultats du travail quotidien et remplir le fichier Excel préparé par Trufi sur Drive par les métadonnées de chaque ligne tracée.

We are going to have an overview of the various ways of downloading the data from OpenStreetMap and create network graphs then show how to find nearest n paths using osmnx. osmnx(https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx) makes it easy to create spatial network graphs from OpenStreetMap data and has a number of functions we can use to download osm data, create network graphs, save network graphs and query the network graphs. It also offers an easy to use API which we're going to have an overview about. Many people normally use Google Maps API to find the shortest route e.g for delivering goods,shipping applications etc. In this talk, we'll show a free alternative way of finding a number of shortest paths between two coordinates which works for all road networks.(Bikes tracks, foot-paths, highways) and how to filter which street networks you want. We'll use Cape Town as the area of interest but the technique can be used anywhere OpenStreetMap covers. We'll first see the various ways of downloading osm data using point buffers and by using bounding boxes, then see how to create network graphs and finally query the graph to find the shortest paths. We're going to use extract shapely linestrings from the graph which we can use to when sending the response on the API. Finally we'll use fastapi to create one API endpoint which accepts an origin and destination, and returns data as geojson. We're going to use geojson-pydantic to automatically jsonify the linestring. We'll also show an alternative way of using grpc to transmit geospatial data.

The COVID-19 pandemic is primarily a health crisis that has changed the tradition way of doing things. Many countries have decided to close schools, colleges, and universities. The crisis crystallizes the dilemma policymakers are facing between closing schools (reducing contact and saving lives) and keeping them open (allowing workers to work and maintaining the economy). Many families around the world feel the severe short-term disruption; home schooling is not only a massive shock to parents’ epically in Africa, but also to student’s social life and learning. Teaching is moving online on an untested and unprecedented scale. Regardless of determinations to replace schools with remote learning, these days of learning loss has led to desperation but many counties in Africa have been trying to ensure that they find ways to get as many students to go back to school as soon as possible. This crisis has fostered intangible goodwill that could materialize in significant education reforms provided we seize every opportunity to learn lessons from the pandemic.
