<div dir="ltr">Hi there,<div><br></div><div>We are a group of Latino mappers working with OSM since 2010. We have advocated for the collaboration between civil society and governments uisng OSM specially with National Stats Offices, having undertaken many initiatives like this <a href="https://undataforum.org/WorldDataForum/harnessing-census-data-collection-with-citizen-participation-in-the-sdgs/">https://undataforum.org/WorldDataForum/harnessing-census-data-collection-with-citizen-participation-in-the-sdgs/</a> .</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Related to this agenda, we will be organizing close to INEGI (Natnl Stats from México) next November a Mapathon</span><a href="http://osmgeoweek.org/events/" target="_blank" style="font-size:12.8px"> </a><font color="#1155cc"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><u><a href="http://osmgeoweek.org/event/aguascalientes/">http://osmgeoweek.org/event/aguascalientes/</a></u></span></font><span style="font-size:12.8px"> to out reach to local mappers in the region.
