We set out to map the blank canvas of Tanzania using mobile apps (for locals on the ground), open data (of schools&medical facilities) and satellite mapping on OpenStreetMap (for volunteers around the world). The project has since seen major successes, including thousands of schools mapped, hundreds of objects&villages that were only known to locals identified etc. Currently, we are rushing to map the region of Mara, where female genital mutilation (FGM) is prevalent, before the cutting season starts in December. Mugumu Safe House is already using our maps to \"reach places they have never reached before\" and save more girls from the life threatening practice. Our goal for this session is to demonstrate how mapping can help achieve SDGs in developing countries, and illustrate how easy it is to contribute by doing mapping online.\r\n\r\nAgenda\r\n\r\nWe will give a short talk (10 min) about our project, with actual examples of how our mapping is helping real SDG-orientated development in Tanzania. We will show a couple of videos of locals, who explain why mapping helps in their region, including saving girls from FGM at Mugumu Safe House (5 min) and allow room for questions (5 min). We will use the rest of the time (40 min or more) to do a hands-on mapping sprint where everyone will participate with their laptops (or in teams if no laptop), and aim to complete a defined mapping task with OpenStreetMap.\r\n\r\nParticipants\r\n\r\nWith 3 participants we will be able to talk in more depth about mapping for SDGs, concerning own interests and initiatives people have, and discuss how we could take this approach further, achieve measurable results in other SDGs (that we are not addressing yet) etc. We can do hands-on mapping with more support to each participant (higher quality map).\r\nWith 15 or more participants we can follow the general session plan, including fully presenting the project and engaging in mapping. With this number of participants we could achieve our mapping goal without much difficulty, and participants could successfully work in teams, if necessary. \r\nWith 25 or more participants we might need to restrict the time for questions, however otherwise follow the general session plan, present the project and carry out the mapping session. We might have to give less support to each participant, but they can work in teams and help each other if necessary, so it should go smoothly as well.\r\n\r\nOutcome\r\n\r\nWe expect to reach a wider community and allow them a chance to contribute to achieving SDGs directly via mapping, as well as inspire them to create their own mapping initiatives and/or organize mapathons to support our and similar causes. The participants will become part of our online community, if they choose to, and be looped into any further developments of the project."}}
