    Impulse & Improve OSM Data program: Mwalai

    Background

    There are currently one billion people who live in places that are not on the map. These places are often at high risk of disasters or present an ever-increasing exposure to poverty. Maps are essential in humanitarian response, as well as providing healthcare and other basic services like water, sanitation, and education. Maps provide crucial data about where and how people live — including homes, hospitals, roads, and rivers. Maps created by for-profit companies are usually driven by a business case; such as advertising or data sales. This approach leaves out many lower-income places because it is not profitable to map those areas. Without a map, it is impossible to dispatch humanitarian workers effectively, plan a vaccination campaign, or trace the spread of diseases, leaving vulnerable places without access to humanitarian aid.

    In that context, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team’s West and North Africa Regional Open Mapping Hub (WNAH) is launching the Mwalai (Impulse & Improve OSM Data program) grant program to enhance data production and improve data quality in the OpenStreetMap database.

    Program Objective

    -To support the open mapping community, and contributors in the West and North African region by providing the required resources to improve quantitatively and qualitatively the OpenStreetMap database.

    -To stimulate the contribution to OSM through the use of available low-cost open mapping technologies.

    Applications are open to organizations or OSM contributors from fourteen (14) countries: Algeria, Benin, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea (Central), Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Morocco, São Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone.
