MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA INTO OPENSTREETMAP
NORTHAMPTON UNIVERSITY SEMINAR
CROWD2MAP
FEBRUARY 2017
TANZANIA DEVELOPMENT TRUST
SAFE HOUSE FOR GIRLS REFUSING FGM IN MUGUMU SERENGETI
SOME MAPPING INITIATIVES IN TANZANIA
• MapAction – earthquake damage in Bukoba
• Tanzania Bird Atlas
• Jane Goodall Institute, Carbon Tanzania – mapping tree
cover
• John Snow Institute – road mapping using sensors in
Medical Supplies Trucks
• Ramani Huria – flood resilience in Dar es Salaam
• Flowminder – mapping access to mobile financial services
• Crowd2Map – volunteer mapping of rural Tanzania, initially
to protect girls from Female Genital Mutilation
MAPACTION
MapAction deployed to Tanzania to support
the Government of Tanzania in partnership
with the United Nations Disaster Assessment
Coordination team (UNDAC) to understand
needs presented after the earthquake of the
11th September 2016 in Bukoba. The
mapping teams supported the coordinated
needs assessment, mapping population
coverage, affected areas and damage
assessments.
MAPACTION

event/tanzania-eq-2016
MAPACTION
TANZANIAN BIRD ATLAS
http://tanzaniabirdatlas.net/
Based in Iringa
JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE, GOMBE, KIGOMA
Work with local
villages to develop
land use plans to
protect
environment that
are then
monitored by
forest wardens
and by satellite.
JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE, GOMBE, KIGOMA
Using DigitalGlobe
satellite data from
2005 (left) and
2014 (right), JGI
staff can see that
Kigalye Village has
implemented a
land-use plan that
allows Miombo
woodlands to
regenerate
naturally.
JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE, GOMBE, KIGOMA
With the
Community Forest
Monitoring
Dashboard,
decision-makers
can see how
thoroughly the
Kigalye Forest
Reserve is being
patrolled and how
frequently illegal
activities take
place.
CARBONTANZANIA
Carbon Tanzania develop REDD Projects
(Reduced Emissions from Deforestation &
forest Degradation) in conjunction with
Tanzania’s indigenous communities.
They then sell the certified, forest carbon
offsets generated by the project to
companies and individuals wanting to
offset their emissions with the revenue
flowing back to the forest communities,
and monitor via satellite images and local
wardens.
JOHN SNOW INSTITUTE, TRACKING MEDICAL DELIVERIES
Added sensors to track
Medical Stores delivery
vehicles to monitor
deliveries.
Used data to also
improve road maps.
JOHN SNOW INSTITUTE, TRACKING MEDICAL DELIVERIES
Volunteer
mappers
imported the
data into
Openstreetmap.

USING LOCAL & SATELLITE MAPPING TO MAP RURAL TANZANIA
CROWD2MAP TANZANIA
Janet Chapman
Egle Marija Ramanauskaite
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
• The remote villages where TDT works are EXTREMELY
poorly mapped.
• Local officials lack maps of their area.
• This makes navigation and planning difficult.
• We are mapping onto Openstreetmap that is
accessible to everyone online and on phones.
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL TANZANIA. WHY?
• Rural Tanzania is blank in Google Maps.
MOST RURAL TANZANIA LOOKED LIKE
THIS WHEN WE STARTED - AND MUCH OF
IT STILL DOES..
Zeze village, Kigoma,
population 8200
WE’RE MAPPING RURAL
TANZANIA. WHY?
LOCALS HAVE BEEN MAPPING POINTS
OF IMPORTANCE, WORSHIP PLACES,
SHOPS, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY
LIBRARY …
FOCUS: FIGHTING FGM IN MUGUMU
Rhobi at a roadshow against FGM in a village near
Mugumu.
TRANSFERRING GOV OPEN DATA TO OSM
data from http://opendata.go.tz/
TRANSFERRING GOV OPEN DATA TO OSM
Over 600 online
volunteers manually
added schools and
clinics.
MAPPING ON MAPS.ME
When new version of
Maps.Me allowed users
to add points directly to
OSM we started using
that instead of Epicollect.
MAPPING ON MAPS.ME
Now also have a Swahili
version.
MAPPING COMPETITION!
Sharing the leader board on What’s App
groups was good at increasing motivation
REMOTE VILLAGES ARE STILL MISSING FROM MAPS …
Posting questions on Facebook group
COMMUNICATION: WHATSAPP
Posting of updates about
monthly competition
increased motivation.
SATELLITE MAPPING VIA HOT TASK MANAGER /project/1788
http://tasks.hotosm.org/
project/1788#
Now 100% mapped, 80%
validated – thanks
Sophie!

SATELLITE MAPPING VIA HOT TASK MANAGER /project/1788
Online volunteers trace
roads and villages from
satellite images.
TRIPLE MAPPING PARTY, MAY 2016!
SATELLITE MAPPING EVENTS BY VOLUNTEERS
Ramani Huria
volunteers mapping
Mugumu on May 7th
2016 in Dar es Salaam.
MUGUMU SAFE HOUSE GIRLS ENGAGING IN MAPPING THEMSELVES
Rhobi and some of the girls at the Safe House mapping in
OSM on May 7th after initial training when I visited.
WINS
• Reaching more girls in Mara via
Mugumu Safe House
 Discovery of remote villages
 Reaching remote villages (limited
roads, bridges)
 Fuel planning
 Better maps will help girls reach
the Safe House on their own
“We’re reaching places that we’ve never reached before”
ADDING WATER POINT, SCHOOL AND CLINIC DATA
https://www.facebook.com/ajplusenglish/videos/873491619459013/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_XF436QWMg
WHAT WE’VE ACHIEVED..
• We’ve now recruited over 900 online volunteers and
199 local mappers.
• In our 2 HOT tasks in Mara region 696 mappers have
mapped an area of 14,248 square kilometres and
added 5 towns and 169 villages and hamlets.
• We’ve also added 42,128 km of roads and tracks and
700,000 buildings..
• Countrywide we have added 12,294 schools and 162
clinics to Openstreetmap from government open
data.
EFFECT ON FGM
Having better maps helped prevent
2257 girls from being cut this year.
However change is a slow process.
1076 girls were still cut, down from
3700 the previous year, and 4 girls
died, down from 12 last year.

HOW YOU CAN HELP..
• Start mapping! Anyone with an internet connection can get involved!
• Tell people you know with an interest in mapping and/or FGM
• Use Maps.Me if you visitTanzania to add places to the map.
• Access to smartphones is the limiting factor, so if you have any unwanted
phones we can make very good use of them!
• Any comments, questions or suggestions always welcome!
• Thank you

Notas do Editor

  1. Works in rural areas of Tanzania that are very poorly mapped, making navigation and development difficult
  2. Our largest project is a Safe House for girls refusing Female Genital Mutilation. The outreach work in the surrounding villages was hampered by the lack of maps.
  3. Sometime hand drawn map on wall, often not. Getting lost driving through rivers in the rain. Asked local reps to draw map of where village was, they couldn’t
  4. When told Egle she didn’t believe me how bad the maps were. Most still looks like this – need stats for points added..
  5. Points added in OSM and Maps.Me
  6. Rhobi at a roadshow against FGM in a village near Mugumu. Challenge in outreach in villages, no maps
  7. EMR: prepare for Qs about open data. Where did you get it from? Was it government-collected? Are you sure it is usable? Did you consider importing it straight to OSM (not manual)? Is that all the data you got? How recent is it? Are you still accessing other open data from elshwere ?
  8. Over 900 volunteers largely through UN online volunteers, regular contact via email.
  9. Moved to maps.me Tried OSMAND, but difficult for novice users
  10. Maps me brilliant now you can add points, but list not that suitable for rural Africa..
  11. say more on Mapping competition how much are people contributing EMR: how many people? How well are they engaging? Are the points accurate? Reliable ?
  12. Via Facebook, Whats app
  13. Set up project on HOT for area around Mugumu,
  14. Set up project on HOT for area around Mugumu,
  15. Dar EMR: how did they come to be? How did these volunteers find you? Decide to map? Who trained them?
  16. Safe house EMR: who trained them? How did they do? Do they continue mapping after the event?
  17. Now lets get mapping!
