[Max Alzaga]

*Please share widely with your networks! Thank you!*


The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team is soliciting proposals for the Open
Data for Resilience and Risk Management Initiatives as part of the project
Open Cities Latin America and the Caribbean (Guatemala).

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and its implementing partner will
provide mapping and services other related support to assist in managing
the vulnerability and pressure on the natural environment in Guatemala, by
supporting the creation of local-scale data and strategies for geospatial
information management, as well as participating in the development of
integrative methodologies.The OpenCities Latin-America and Caribbean
project would focus on capacity-building approaches, following the previous
OpenCities Africa and OpenCities South Asia projects, to empower agencies
to enhance their decision making, through better data access and to gain
the ability to create, analyze and utilize open data as part of their
decision systems and culture.

HOT will support specifically the development of The World Bank Guatemala
Dedicated Grant Mechanism for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities in
Guatemala (Forest Investment Program). HOT and the Forest Investment
Program will collaborate and define the location, specific needs, work
methodology, and data model.

In this context, HOT will work in a pilot area characterized by damages
resulting from historical and recent disasters resulting from direct
effects of forest degradation (floods, landslides, fires, violent effects
of hurricanes), by providing the communities, local stakeholders, and NGOs,
with technical skills for the production of data on their territory in
support of sustainable project planning, long term monitoring, negotiation
processes, and advocacy, environmental and economic awareness, for:

Remote mapping of the build infrastructure of the communities and their
environment.- Systemic understanding of their environment and participatory
cartography of land representations and uses of the community territory and
surrounding.- Participatory cartography of the impact areas of recent
disasters- Assistance for the mapping and planning of sustainable
production projects- Training of local leaders and representatives,
including those working with NGOs and national institutions (COCODEs,
COLREDs) as well as local officials to manage the data- Collaboration with
the academic community to provide technical knowledge and tools for warning
and monitoring of future disasters events

These project activities, in addition to providing measurement and planning
capabilities, are the basis for a better understanding and awareness of
natural environment management, as well as advocacy and empowerment of
Indigenous communities.

The results will extend to the data produced, as well as a methodology and
technical guidance for replication in other communities in the departments
targeted by the Grant Mechanism for Indigenous Peoples and Local
Communities in Guatemala. The mapped data and mapping methodology can
benefit other NGOs and institutions working in development aid and disaster
response in the region.
