Hi,

There is a lot of people working on that. They have their own mailinglist 
(about 167 people) here http://www.pamoya.com/node/13275

Obviously, the mapping is best in areas where there is Bing imagery, but 
Mbale, Soroti, Bwindi are pretty nice already. 

We have been organising a few Mapping Days, in Muyenga and at the University 
in Mukono. We do plan to have more events.

We are also actively pursuing several datasets that, when made public, would 
be a great addition to OSM. That is proving pretty hard! Any lobbying from 
other members when talking to anyone with data is highly appreciated.

So, all in all, getting there.

rgds,
Reinier
