[HOT] OSM based project in Bangladesh

[Ahasanul Hoque]

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your reply. No I havnt contacted with cadasta but i will do that
soon. Interesting to see the link you shared and thakks for your
understanding the project that I told in my mail.  You are right, its not
important whether the project is humanitarian or not, the matter is how to
look at it. The land is government owned free land what were distributed to
the poor landless people but now illegally captured and encroached by some
people. that is why the organization wants to keep the data in open
platform where the community can share the status of the parcels. I also
agree with you that this is a data preparedness too for any type of
emergencies since the areas are lying in food vulnerable zone of Jamalpur
district.

Best regards

Ahasan
