DESCRIPTION:Most field program managers have their go-to field preparation
  checklist - this often includes a data model\, their preferred data colle
 ction tools\, field survey timeline\, to name a few. We are often cautione
 d about the importance of community entry\, and it is right\, you will not
  be able to just enter the community and start mapping as people will get 
 curious\, ask questions and possibly become suspicious or hesitant to acce
 pt your data collection activities. At HOT\, we employe participatory mapp
 ing methods and encourage local people to map their communities. However\,
  sometimes with even all the correct steps followed\, your activities can 
 be hindered due to factors outside of your control. In this session\, we w
 ill explore one of HOT’s field mapping projects implemented in Kampala i
 n collaboration with the Kampala Capital City Authority that aimed to map 
 community-level flood risk in a local suburb along the Nakamiro Channel ca
 tchment area. Despite all the correct steps taken\, community entry in a s
 pecific jurisdiction felt impossible and field mapping could not be carrie
 d out. In this session\, our aim is to first discuss what went wrong and h
 ow our field team approached this situation and later invite participants/
 attendees to share similar challenges experienced in the field and how the
 se situations were overcome or addressed.
