Amour Nyalusi
I'm a passionate advocate for open mapping and open data, particularly in the context of humanitarian development and urban resilience. My expertise lies in leveraging OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and open-source tools like JOSM, QGIS, etc. to ensure high-quality data management.
Throughout my career, I've actively participated in numerous OpenMap Development Tanzania (OMDTZ) projects. I've played a key role in creating large datasets and establishing strong data quality management practices, including for nationwide initiatives. Additionally, I am experienced in data visualization, analysis, and promoting map literacy to support informed decision-making.

Session
Maintaining data quality while uploading large datasets to OpenStreetMap from external sources like KoboToolbox can feel overwhelming. This workshop tackles that challenge head-on! We'll guide participants through the process of integrating the data into OSM, ensuring its integrity every step of the way. Participants will master data conversion techniques to bridge the gap between external collection formats and OSM's structure. They will learn how to avoid duplicates and data loss while maintaining accuracy during upload using the JOSM editor. By the end, they will be equipped to confidently contribute valuable community data to OpenStreetMap and empower their fellow mappers.
