Mapping & GIS

This year, 192 people took part in the events organized in 11 cities across France and Switzerland by CartONG during the OSMGeoWeek, in support of 5 OSM communities in French-speaking Africa.

Retour sur une très belle semaine de cartographie participative dans le cadre de l'OSMGeoWeek francophone 2017 avec 192 participants dans 11 villes en France en soutien à 5 communautés OSM d'Afrique francophone !

OpenStreetMap Geography Awareness Week (OSMGeoWeek), est le festival international de sensibilisation à la cartographie sur OpenStreetMap (le Wikipédia de la cartes). Il se déroule cette année, du 13 au 20 novembre ! Ce festival rassemble l’ensemble des organisations humanitaires, organismes privés, institutions, individus et communautés qui souhaitent sensibiliser à OSM, et faire découvrir cette base de données au plus grand nombre.

Dans le cadre du partenariat déployé entre Médecin Sans Frontières-Suisse (MSF-CH) et CartONG depuis 2013, CartONG soutient activement l’organisation dans la définition de ses besoins en SIG et la mise en place d’une stratégie de développement SIG globale. Dans la continuité de ce travail, MSF a demandé à CartONG de développer un outil en ligne permettant de mieux contextualiser ses briefings.

Dans le cadre d'un projet Bioforce visant à renforcer les capacités locales à œuvrer pour la résilience des populations et la réponse aux crises en République centrafricaine (RCA), CartONG soutient Bioforce pour assurer le renforcement structurel du Secrétariat permanent des ONG (SPONG) en RCA.

As part of a Bioforce project aiming at strengthen local capacities to work for the resilience of populations and crisis response in Central African Republic (CAR), CartONG is supporting Bioforce to provide structural strengthening of the Permanent Secretariat of NGOs (SPONG) in CAR.

CartONG and Action contre la Faim have signed a 3-year partnership agreement to further their collaboration. The partnership agreement that will run from 2020 to 2023 details the general principles of collaboration between our two organizations around common goals and mutual commitments as well as more operational aspects.

As part of this new collaboration, CartONG will develop an interactive web map for ECPM - a French NGO who advocates for the abolition of death penalty wolrdwide - to display the status and key statistics on death penalty in each country of the world. The map will be built on a custom platform using Vue.js libraries. Additionally, CartONG will support ECPM in structuring the dataset to ensure smooth interaction between the data and the web map.

In 2019, CartONG was solicited to support the ICRC GIS team for two different projects. The first project was a story map highlighting what role GIS analysis can play when trying to assess the populations’ access to street lights in different neighbourhoods of Buenaventura. The story map can be found here.

CartONG was contacted in June 2019 by the Cooperation & Development Center of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) to support the development of a GIS platform for local authorities in Argentina that EPFL was counselling. We provided mentoring on how to build the project requirements, identify risks and chose contractors, via two brainstorming workshops.
