In many underserved regions cross Africa, communities remain invisible on digital maps, limiting their access to essential services, representation in planning, and ability to respond to crises. This project based in Damongo, in Ghana’s Savannah Region, uses Mapillary as a key tool to document and map the community’s transformation over time visually. Through the collection of street-level imagery, the study captured detailed before-and after views of roads, signage, and infrastructure changes across various parts of the district. These images were processed and integrated into OpenStreetMap (OSM) using JOSM, improving the quality and coverage of local map data. The addition to data collection, the mobile apps used OsmAnd, Organic Maps and StreetComplete to contribute to open mapping. In my presentation, the study will demonstrate how leveraged open-source mobile tools to collect data in rural Ghana, highlighting the critical roles these accessible tools play in making mapping more efficient and effective. The study area will show how mobile mapping empowers us to go beyond traditional computer-based approaches, bringing mapping to the field. This approach not only enhances data accuracy but also foster community engagement and participation in the mapping process. The projects align directly with the 2025 theme,” Mapping the Future : Connecting Communities &Fostering Collaboration,” by showing how open-source tools can connect local knowledge with global platforms, foster collaboration between mappers and communities, and build resilience through data. More than just creating maps, this initiative builds capacity, promote digital inclusion, and provides visual evidence of community evolution making open mapping tool a long- term transformation.
