Really interesting conversation and tips here. My team <http://opendri.org/> at the GFDRR <https://www.gfdrr.org/> has been tiptoeing in this direction for a while. To date we’ve mostly been involved in one-off data creation projects that demonstrate OSM’s value the governments we work with and get them to produce non-sensitive data in the open they would otherwise make privately (then probably misplace within a few years, leaving only final report PDFs in their wake). Projects like this <https://opendri.org/sri-lanka-opendri-team-finishes-exposure-mapping-in-gampaha-district/> and this <https://opendri.org/how-are-the-maps-being-used-in-the-wards/>.
We’re not blind to the fact that this is imperfect and less than sustainable. So we’re looking at the examples you all list for good (and bad) ways to institutionalize this work and make it standard practice instead of one-time. We’re also interested in funding the creation of better software tools to make it easier for governments to do these tasks, particularly for government IT staff that may not be on the cutting edge of technology practices even within their own country, let alone internationally. More GUI based ways to visualize changes and perform quality control, or see multiple departments’ inputs on a single set of nodes in OSM. Are there any specialized tools you all have seen used for these purposes? Can we capture some of the scripts / etc. published by model cities/govs on the wiki page? Thanks for setting that up joost!

I would guess there's a HOT catalog somewhere out there, where some cases will probably involve quite some government support. I'd rather link to that than duplicate the list. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
