PARTNER TAKEAWAYS

  • [Good job at] Keeping them volunteers to date regularly about current, future, and past tasks.
  • [Good job at] Sharing the progress of the mapping of the area of interest.
  • The Spreadsheet to keep track of the progress was handy.
  • Liked the Involvement of the local OSM community in the mapping.
  • OSM Community: The community intended to map the areas of Fangak, Bor, Jonglei, Unity state, Central Equatoria, Bentiu and Malakal areas in South Sudan but also mapped Leinken and Leer special tasks for MSF the partner.

HOT TEAM

  • Good: Mobilisation and connecting the OSM community to the data users MSF.
  • Needs to be Improved: Not any on this one. Reaction and participation from the local community, as well as data users, were good. One of the data users actually liked the approach of collaboration and exchanging
  • Bad: The attempt to use MapWith AI for buildings was not a success and Geoffrey changed it back to mapping directly
