-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list:
Northeast Nigeria has been affected for years now by a complex humanitarian crisis fueled by the insurgency of the BH jihadist group which has gradually gained in intensity and impact affecting over the past months its neighbouring countries and turning into a regional crisis (see ReliefWeb - Nigeria page [1]). Baseline data (places, residential areas, administrative boundaries and buildings as well as road networks) over this large affected region are needed for the various actors engaged in the response of this complex regional emergency. Several OSM initiatives have been lead in some areas (Nigeria e-Health data import, mapping by local OSM groups from Niger and Cameroun, as well as the efforts of individuals), and individual efforts are still continuing. Discussions with humanitarian actors highlighted the relevance of OSM data in this crisis and the need for a continued effort. As a part of this HOT activation, we are planning to import several different data kindly provided by eHealth Systems Africa Foundation. One of such datasets is composed by 4,556 settlements (mainly hamlets and villages) collected by field surveys by about 80 data collectors in a large area of Borno state (unfortunately, some large areas of the state are still off-limits for data collectors). For that purpose, a wiki [2] and a workflow wiki [3] has been writen, and a project in the Tasking Manager created [4] for this import. The goals of this import are two-fold: 1) Import those place nodes, and 2) Improve the still poor road network for that area, editing the road access to all those settlements. This import will be manual through a HOT Tasking Manager project, like the CAR UNICEF import [5] and UNMIL Liberia settlements import [6], among others. Cheers, Rafael.
