We work with organizations and communities across 23 countries in creating and updating free, editable, and shareable open map data in OpenStreetMap. Currently the Open Mapping Hub - Eastern and Southern Africa is supporting projects in Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, and Namibia. We envision a future where all people in Eastern and Southern Africa have the opportunity to contribute to and use open mapping processes and open data in their everyday lives.
