Hi Joachim,
I read your post and I'm dealing with a similar problem. I'm working for
the dutch red cross and want to upload road data for Malawi.
Unfortunately this is even more complex data because roads never overlap
exactly and linestrings are chopped in pieces to make attribute tags
match. (like paved/unpaved parts)
I'm thinking about dealing with just the bridges first, to start a bit
easy. We will use some GIS tools to do the matching and selections and
then plan to use josm to "upload".
License requirements from osm are quite high in relation to the Malawi
government communication. So far we have a whatsapp confirmation :) but
we are working on getting something more official. Hopefully a website.
Kind regards,
Raymond
PS Do you by any chance live in or near The Netherlands? In that case we
might work together for a day to figure things out.

Thanks for the brief reply,
*maybe the Terms and conditions of the opendata.go.tz
<http://opendata.go.tz> can help clarifying the terms of usage for the
data. http://opendata.go.tz/en/pages/kanuni-na-masharti
*as i read the wiki I am familiar with how OSM works, uploading is just
the term used in the wiki for it. We are working on a way to prevent
adding already existing waterpoints. As there are ways to extract
information from OSM and convert them into other data formats it must
be possible to compare both data bases and delete existing waterpoints
from the list of the ones that we want to add. But if anybody is willing
to help us out on this one feel free to contact me or join
https://crowd2map.slack.com/
*I just saw the post on the swedish road name import with the link to
the wiki
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Digitransit/Helsinki_region_Swedish_road_names_import
this might be a good guide. I was thinking on using the ruby script to
convert the csv to osm. Depending on the possible tags we want to use,
the csv data will be altered before so only the tags wanted and accepted
will be used.
*Janet Chapman from https://crowd2map.wordpress.com/ is in contact with
the Tanzanian community / OSM Africa to clarify the needs to determine
what could be added.
I would be happy if someone is willing to help us out on this topic or
wants to contribute in whatever way possible: advise, hints or even by
criticizing the way we want to do this.
best regards
Joachim

It's pretty much the same bullet points as always:
* Web site says "license not specified". This means it defaults to "all
rights reserved" even if the URL is "opendata.go.tz
<http://opendata.go.tz>" - needs to be
clarified.
* You don't just "upload" such data to OSM, you integrate with what's
already there. You don't want to upload a water point where one exists
already, or where another incompatible feature exists.
* Please explain - ideally, on a Wiki page - what tags exactly you wish
to create on OSM and how you will determine the contents of each.
Bye
Frederik
