mapping many buildings in Senegal, some of which of dubious quality.
This looks like organized mapping but I do not see any description of
it in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities
I attempted contact today, I am awaiting an answer - I'll keep this
list informed.
I suspect if may be part of the mSpray malaria spraying project.

There are 6 mSpray enumerators (4,8,13,15,16,17). We are only mapping
what we perceive to be residential structures after getting local
context from our in-country partners to inform this. Sincere apologies
if this has caused a problem. We will work on the wrongfully
mapped/tagged buildings when we start validating what has been mapped so
far.
