Hi all, I wanted to share some updates on our project in Uganda with you. Many thanks to our team in Uganda (Stefano, Geoffrey, Douglas, Carmen, Deo, Kate, Lydia, and everyone else helping out). They're doing amazing work to support UNHCR, MSF, Catholic Relief Services and other NGO partners coordinate their data collection and mapping onto OpenStreetMap, connecting a lot of the dots around the refugee response.
Mapathons on World Refugee Day to generate baseline data: https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2017-07-03_volunteers_i n_uganda_and_turkey_rally_to_support_refugees_on_world_refugee_day Ground surveying in the settlements in northern Uganda: https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2017-07-06_bringing_ remote_mapping_to_the_field This weekend, we'll also have State of the Map Africa in Kampala! I'm not sure about any streaming options (internet and bandwidth being what it is in Uganda), but we'll definitely update everyone on the proceedings via Twitter, blogs and other channels! Best, Paul ~ sent from mobile
