Hi everyone, We wrapped up our evaluation of RapiD in Camiguin. Thanks to all who worked on the project especially @GOwin and his CWTS++ crew! Detailed notes here: https://github.com/OSMPH/Tabang-AI/issues/4#issuecomment-528343960
tl;dr We increased road coverage in Camiguin by 36%! We will proceed with next actions on this initiative in the coming days.
