Dear mappers,

we would like to share with you an event hosted by UNGSC to produce OSM data to help peacekeeping missions in Somalia.
The goal of this mapathon is to enrich the OSM geodata in different areas of Somalia to assist the UN missions in their field endeavors, such as peace and security, navigation, and logistics, by providing its peacekeepers with topographic maps that will help them in their operational activities.

The mapathon will be hosted both February 20th and 25th. You can subscribe in Eventbrite at:
