[HOT] How open maps and data are being used to improve access to (renewable) energy in rural Tanzania

[Paul Uithol]

For those interested in access to renewable energy and minigrids, IFC 
has published an interesting article on how OpenStreetMap data is being 
used to inform decision making around investments in mini-grids and 
solar home systems, and how open data collected and analyzed as part of 
one of our projects in Tanzania 
(https://www.hotosm.org/projects/mini-grids) are contributing to this.

Please see  https://nextbillion.net/data-off-grid-energy-tanzania/ for a 
good read and case study!
