Mapping the Unmapped: Dar es Salaam's landscape is being transformed by @OMDTZ and @Mapillary. I and @AdamBenedicto are using Bajaj (Tricycle) to create detailed 3D models for better urban planning, emergency response, and flood management. #OMDTZ

New year, new maps! We're back in action, capturing street-view imagery across 30 wards in Dar es Salaam. With @mapillary we’re exploring urban features like accessibility, planning, & navigation. Stay tuned for updates! 📍Curious? Track our journey: bit.ly/4hkwlNA

Congrats to @OMDTZ for winning the #ZayedSustainabilityPrize Climate Action category! Their community-driven mapping solutions have benefited 140,000 people, reduced flood risks, and engaged youth in building climate resilience. #PowerOfProgress

We're thrilled to announce that we're among the 33 finalists of the #ZayedSustainabilityPrize 2025 out of 5,980 applicants Our Climate Action solution looks to integrate local knowledge, open technologies, geospatial data & maps to support local action towards flooding @ZSP_ORG

Involving the community in mapping is vital! It empowers locals to share their knowledge, fosters collaboration, and ensures that maps reflect real needs. @OMDTZ and @assocCartONG create more effective participatory Anticipatory Actions solutions for , disaster preparedness

@johanespetro @openstreetmap @OMDTZ @AdamBenedicto shared about our 360 street-level photos mapping using a tricycle, @Gopro camera and @mapillary to enrich and update data in @openstreetmap #SotM2024

Hello @InnocentMaholi 😅 We are getting interesting insights from #BenedictoAdam from @OMDTZ work all the way from Dar es Salam 😀 @sotm #SotM2024

Hey, @mapillary community! We are curious to know what cameras you're using to capture those stunning Street View images. Share your camera choice and why you love it. Let's hear it! 👇

Map of #Silicon #Dar in #DaresSalaam, #Tanzania, hosts telecom giants like @Tigo_TZZ , @VodacomTanzania , @TTCL, @Haloteltz , and @airtel_tanzania . It also hosts the Tanzania Data Lab @dLabTz ,hubs like @SeedspaceDar , @kiotahub , @255Hub @costechTANZANIA. Data @openstreetmap

Accurate data is critical to food security and that's why @OMDTZ used ODK to map 33k mills across Tanzania. @WFP and the government are now using this data for decision making. The report at wfp.org/publications/t… has great tips on conducting effective community-based mapping.

Did you know that using @odk and @ardusimple you can get less than 10 centimetres of accuracy? OMDTZ is preparing to begin high-accuracy drainage mapping for four municipalities using open source technologies, in collaboration with university students and other stakeholders.

As per our #Community #Nutrition #Data #Mapping Project funded by @OMDTZ, today we #AgriThamani organised our first #Mapathon where we trained 20 Local Government Officials on how to carry #nutrition #mapping in their 3 Wards of #Bukoba Municipal (Nshambya, Bilele and Kashai).

#OMDTZ is providing training support to the community impact microgrant recipients to help them carry mapping activities. @AdamBenedicto spent a week in #Bukoba training the @AgriThamani team on how to use different mapping tools for #OSM data collection. #community #openmapping

Congratulations to our #map pros and winners of the #heremapathon! They are receiving respectively $10 000, $5 000, $2 500 and $1 000! @OMDTZ @UniJena @gaziantepUniv #ChallengeAccepted @agorize
