Ayant commencé mes activités de cartographie sous OSM depuis Août 2016, j’ai travaillé avec différentes organisations avant de mettre en place la communauté « FreeLocalMappers ». Elle est basée à Conakry, République de Guinée avec pour objectif de mettre en place un réseau national actif de contributeurs dans la production de l’information géographique ainsi que promouvoir le développement durable à travers l'usage des données ouvertes (Open Data) dans le pays. Créée depuis Août 2019, elle compte en son sein 14 membres dont 8 femmes et 6 hommes.

FreeLocalMappers est une jeune organisation. Notre but est de Promouvoir l’usage de l’information géographique et l’ouverture des données auprès des acteurs privés, publics et communautaires ainsi qu’en milieu estudiantin pour le développement durable du pays. Avec pour objectif de mettre en place un réseau national actif de contributeurs dans la production de l’information géographique ainsi que de promouvoir le développement durable à travers l’usage des données ouvertes (Open Data) en Guinée, réalisé ce projet nous permettra de renforcer notre présence dans le domaine des Open Data dans le pays tout en nous dotant de quelques équipements. Ces équipement (Ordinateurs, Smartphones, moyens logistiques…) nous permettront d’accroitre nos champs d’action et d’enrôler plusieurs bénévoles avec lesquels nous travaillerons à produire et améliorer la donnée sous OSM tout en faisant la promotion de son usage.
FreeLocalMappers is a young organization. Our goal is to Promote the use of geographic information and the opening of data to private, public and community actors as well as in student circles for the sustainable development of the country. With the objective of setting up an active national network of contributors in the production of geographic information as well as promoting sustainable development through the use of open data in Guinea, this project will allow us to strengthen our presence in the field of Open Data in the country while providing us with some equipment. This equipment (Computers, Smartphones, logistics…) will allow us to increase our fields of action and to enlist several volunteers with whom we will work to produce and improve the data under OSM while promoting its use.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ordinateurs | € 488.81 | 3 Unités | € 1466.43 | Les ordinateurs serviront à traiter, analyser et publier les données sur OSM ainsi qu’à produire les cartes devant être remises aux différents acteurs de la riposte contre le COVID-19. Plusieurs membres de notre organisation ne disposent pas d’outils informatique (Ordinateurs, smartphones…) d’autant plus que notre organisation vient de voir le jour. Ainsi, ce projet nous permettra d’acquérir quelques équipements qui serviront aux formations et renforcement capacitaires de nos volontaires ainsi qu’à la mobilisation de nouveaux contributeurs.
The computers will be used to process, analyze and publish the data on OSM as well as to produce the maps to be given to the various players in the response to COVID-19. Several members of our organization do not have computer tools (Computers, smartphones ...) especially since our organization has just seen the light of day. Thus, this project will allow us to acquire some equipment which will be used for training and capacity building of our volunteers as well as for the mobilization of new contributors. |

If you receive a grant, what do you aim to achieve?
It is recommended that this supports mission of the OSM Foundation and your local community. Please provide us with any information you think is relevant including the metrics you expect to achieve. Please write 100-200 words.
L’apparition du COVID19 a mis à nu les difficultés de l’Etat Guinéen à faire face à cette épidémie par manque d’information. Afin de pouvoir planifier adéquatement ses actions, il est primordial de connaitre la capacité maximale qu’offrent les structures de santé du pays. Conakry étant l’épicentre de l’épidémie et la ville la plus peuplé du pays ainsi que celle qui concentre la plupart des structures sanitaires, il est opportun de pouvoir identifier exhaustivement les forces et les faiblesses de son système de santé. L’usage de l’information géographique étant un élément indispensable dans la planification et la gestion des crises, nous souhaitons cartographier les structures sanitaires de la ville avec certaines informations pouvant aider le gouvernement guinéen ainsi que les autorités sanitaires en charge de la riposte contre la pandémie à efficacement planifier ses actions. Ces informations seront entre autres le nombre de structures sanitaires existantes, leurs localisations, les services qu’elles offrent, leurs capacités maximales d’accueil en situation d’urgence ainsi que leurs voies d’accès.
The appearance of COVID19 has exposed the difficulties of the Guinean State in coping with this epidemic for lack of information. In order to be able to plan its actions adequately, it is essential to know the maximum capacity offered by the country's health structures. As Conakry is the epicenter of the epidemic and the most populous city in the country, as well as the hub of most of the health facilities, it is timely to be able to fully identify the strengths and weaknesses of its health system. The use of geographic information being an essential element in planning and crisis management, we want to map the city's health structures with certain information that can help the Guinean government as well as the health authorities in charge of the response against pandemic to effectively plan its actions. This information will include, among other things, the number of existing health facilities, their locations, the services they offer, their maximum emergency accommodation capacities as well as their access routes.
