Microgrants/Microgrants 2020/Proposal/HIV facilities mapping in the Philippines on OpenStreetMap/Report

You're about to create a new Microgrant report!

Thanks for bringing value back to the OpenStreetMap community by sharing your experience with others.

Status and Report Type

There are two report type, interim and final. The interim report is due midway from the start of the project to the expected completion. The final is due within one month of completion of the project. When your report is complete change the status from draft to submitted when ready to submit; Microgrant committee will move the status to Under Review to Accepted. Or the Microgrant committee may ask for more information by changing the status to Incomplete.

type = interim

status = draft

Step 1. Methods and Activities

Tell us about what happened during the planning, execution and follow-up stages of your project. Please share stories of both your triumphs and your challenges.

	Duration	What Happened?
I. Preliminaries	M1	We were able to push through in starting immediately once the funding was received. We were able: recruit core volunteers to help initially with the data mining and training list down the prizes that we were able to replan/strategize the approach in collection and validation draft a website architecture map out possible organization partners set up an initial database and grouped facilities according to regional scale document tagging convention with support from OSM Philippines and mailing lists Needed to extend to M1-M2 to prepare more
II. Data Collection	M1-M4	Data gap mining were done with the core volunteers - filled in missing data in the data base Reached out to other volunteers to verify location Adding of location points to OpenStreetMap with minimal data Events to collect other information Crowdsourcing of information through networks Needed to extend to M2-M8 to prepare more and continued on as information was still coming in from the partners
III. Validation	M2-M5	Validation was done remotely with volunteers and through validatathons Calls were done to confirm and update information which was added to the database Needed to extend to M6-M10 to prepare more
IV. Data Uploading	M5-M6	With the consultations and documented tagging information, we were able to upload data by Needed to extend to M10-12
V. Marketing	M5	Used to launch Facebook ads and phoning in for partners to engage

Step 2. Outcome

The project was able to deliver the following items:

1. Create an open-sourced webmap for people to use to locate the nearest HIV testing facility or treatment hub with valuable contact information. Create an open-sourced online database of HIV Facilities in the country

Step 3. Detail Report

Please report on your original project targets, use the below table to:

• List each of your original targets from your project plan.
• List the actual outcome that was achieved.
• Explain how your outcome compares with the original target. Did you reach your targets? Why or why not?

Target outcome	Achieved outcome	Explanation
Documentation/ report on how to kickstart a similar project in other countries	Did not accomplish	Lacked of time due to simultaneous handling of projects Needed more constructive method to derive from documentationb
Conduct datathons and validatathons	Conducted 3 public datathons to collect information and several internal mapping meetings with core volunteers X number of validatathons
Create an open-sourced webmap for people to use to locate the nearest HIV testing facility or treatment hub with valuable contact information. Create an open-sourced online database of HIV Facilities in the country	Webmap Database
Reach out to various PLHIV communities and champion an online repository of HIV directory.	Was able to reach out to more than 65 PLHIV and LGBT communities	AIDvocates The Red Whistle Love Yourself The Red Ribbon UP Babaylan
Train volunteers to update, add, and edit information using the online database and map	Was able to train X number of volunteers

Note: Two rows for your table have been provided below. To add more rows for additional goals, just copy and paste another row template below these.

Step 4. Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

• What worked well?
  • Working closely with community members allowed MapBeks to expand and get more knowledge from the ground.
  • Deriving core volunteers from other volunteers as it was able to shift and get more work done. Some volunteers were not able to do the task designated so we needed to re-allocate tasks to core volunteers
• What did not work so well?
  • The pandemic really had affected the volunteers. Recruitment was at the same time difficult especially everyone was on lockdown
  • Focus shifted to other projects
  • Accounting
  • Varying needs from varying community organizations. You can not capture all information that everyone wants, and you can't put it all in one webmap.
  • Crowdsourcing data - at some points data was not very reliable
  • Lack of support for capacity from the foundation.
• What would you do differently next time?
  • Open a call for support from other open tech innovations to aid the team in developing new mapping technologies, database development, etc.

Step 5. Grant funds used

Please describe how much grant money you spent for approved expenses, and tell us what you spent it on.

As of January 10, 2021, the financial report shows that a total of 3,718.98 E or 75.13% of the grant fund has been formally accounted and liquidated for. The following table shows the descriptive breakdown of expenses based on category. Among the items, 142.44 euros have exceeded the proposed budget due to unexpected costs for swags, tokens, logistics and office supplies.

Financial Breakdown as of 10 January 2021

	Budget (Euro)	Expenses (Euro)	Remaining (Euro)
Mobile Allowance for Volunteers	927.00	374.32	552.68
Meal Allowance for Volunteers	2045.45	2768.51	-723.06
Social media advertisements	218.18	117.36	100.82
Internet for Participants	272.73	177.62	95.11
Best Mapper Swags	450.00	477.22	-27.22
Token for Speakers	218.18	241.52	-23.34
Logistics/Delivery/Fuel	272.73	341.87	-69.14
Web Hosting and Domain Costs	345.65	228.76	116.89
Office Equipment and Supplies	200.00	222.74	-22.74
TOTAL	4,949.92	4949.92	0.00

Step 6. Unused funds

If there are remaining funds, please list the amount here:

• Let us know if you would like to use the remaining funds on a similar or new project. Remember, a grants officer must approve this request before you spend the money.

• If you are not planning a new project, please follow these instructions to return the funds to OSMF.

We are estimating that there will be no unused funds as there are still unliquidated receipts to be recorded.
