Building skills in Tanzania

Aims and challenges

In Tanzania, the Ramani Huria project trained local stakeholders in how to create highly accurate maps of the most flood-prone areas of the city.

They faced concerns over data governance.

Solutions

Those involved in the project were trained in the benefits of working with open platforms, including OpenStreetMap.

This ensures that data remains available and usable by everyone, including local governments and authorities, beyond the end of the project.
