map in OSM first then share to MSF. You are aware you can create files

MSF is a high consumer of volunteered geographic information as well as
GIS data shared on different humanitarian platforms, we’ve
been working lately on defining an internal Data Sharing Policy for
what we call “non-sensitive geospatial data”, so that at our turn we
share the data we collect/produce with the geospatial community. The
“non-sensitive geospatial data” refers to

year we had a rush request from the field to upload to OSM a dataset
with buildings extracted from imagery (by one of our units),
so that the GIS Officer in the field could see them as background in
OsmAnd, and thus ease the data collection in the field in the context of
a Mosquito indoor spraying campaign - instead of having to manually
upload the dataset on each mobile device. In the
end the project was cancelled in the field, but we wanted to pursue
with the data sharing, and we launched an import process. We realized
soon that passing through all the steps of an import (especially the
Community buy-in, Wiki page and the Import review)
is a time consuming process, and it doesn’t prove at all to be as
operational as we would need in a rush context.
