[OSM-talk] Basic Mapping in Africa

[John Whelan]

It would appear that it would be advantageous to get COVID vaccines into 
Africa even if it is simply to reduce the risk of mutations that come 
back to the rest of the world.

There are multiple parts to this, one is money for vaccines, another is 
someone to perform the vaccination, and finally getting the vaccines to 
the population.  If you don't know where they are you can't vaccinate 
them.  OSM can help here.

Mapping every building as HOT seems to be doing isn't practical in a 
short time frame but what might be possible is to map the size of the 
villages and major highways.

Do we have any idea which countries should be prioritized for basic mapping?

Thanks John
