Humanitarian OSM Team/HOT Microgrants/Community Impact Microgrants 2021/Proposal/Water and Sanitation Mapping in Kampala's Informal Settlements
Your project
This is an opportunity for you to tell us about your project. In this section we'd like to hear about your community, which local challenge your project addresses, what you plan to do and how, your sustainability plan, and how you plan to share your stories.
Describe the local challenge your project is addressing
In this section please describe in detail the challenge that your project addresses. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Many people in Kampala’s informal settlements still lack access to safe drinking water and safely managed sanitation services, with adequately disposed of excreta. Despite government efforts, conditions have not come close to reaching international or national goals. Only 3 in 10 people and 6% have access to basic water supply and sanitation facilities respectively according to Agence Française de Développement (AFD).The inadequacy has led to severe outbreaks of fatal diseases like cholera, malaria, diarrhea, and typhoid which has affected thousands of people in Kampala (https://www.who.int/csr/don/17-march-2015-uganda/en/). Furthermore, women in these communities are the most impacted by poor water and sanitation services. Since women take care of almost all households, they suffer the burden of collecting water from far places and at night risking sexual and physical violence.
Providing equitable access to safe water and sanitation facilities can reduce diarrhea by 35-40%, child mortality by half and risks of women suffering physical and sexual violence at night and/or very early hours. Realising this would require urban authorities and aid agencies to invest in adequate infrastructure to protect and restore water-related ecosystems. These initiatives require geospatial data of already existing facilities to prioritize communities with the greatest needs. In case of disease outbreaks like COVID19, authorities and agencies need this data to deploy water trucks, sanitizing stations, and portable toilets in priority communities.
However, data on informal settlements in Kampala is very scarce, particularly about water and sanitation and yet this data is very vital to improve the poor conditions. Despite being scarce, the data is also out dated because of the rapid changes in informal settlements. Actogether last collected this data 6 years ago in 2014. From our discussions with them, they emphasized the need to update this data.
Therefore, our project aims to map water (public taps and open springs) and sanitation facilities (drainages and public toilet facilities) in Kinawataka, Banda and Naguru informal settlements that have the highest population density in Nakawa division in Kampala. This data will be shared with Actogether and Action for Slum Health and Development to use to answer the following questions as part of their initiatives:
1. Which water facilities need upgrading?
2. Which drainages need construction and repairing?
3. Where should new water and sanitation facilities be established and why?
This project will not only enable equitable distribution of water and sanitation facilities in these communities but also improve women's quality of life and free more time for women to engage in other social and economic activities.
Describe your project
In this section, please provide specific details about your mapping objectives. This should include: how you will contribute to help solve the local challenge you are addressing, what you aim to achieve with funding, what volume of mapping you plan to complete and how, and the number individuals are you aiming to include in mapping activities. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Our project aims at collecting water and sanitation facilities data in three informal settlements in Kampala and sharing it with data users and settlement leaders. Additionally, we shall use this opportunity to train Uganda's OSM mapping community in Facebook’s MapwithAI. Last year, we engaged several members from Uganda's OSM communities in our activities. They mapped using iD-Editor, JOSM and Mapillary imagery. We shall foster these communities of mappers with new skills in MapwithAI using RapiD and in JOSM. To achieve these aims:
- We shall organize 2 training events for 70 mappers from 10 OSM communities about Facebook's MapwithAI. We shall also train 20 members from 2 community organizations: Somero and Days for Girls in 2 training sessions: 1 an introduction to OSM and 2: using Facebook's MapwithAI. Additionally, we will reach out and train 10 students from Ndejje University's Department of Survey in 1 training session about OSM and Facebook's MapwithAI. We shall also organize training prior to field mapping for 20 volunteers, of which 10 will be from OSM communities and 10 from community organizations. This training will encompass using ODK and OSMAnd. In total, we'll train 100 remote mappers and 20 field mappers in 6 training sessions.
- Data collection will be carried out in 2 phases: remote mapping and field mapping. We shall organize 3 online mapathons and 2 physical mapathons where remote mappers will map the buildings and roads in these settlements using MapwithAI. During remote mapping, a team of 10 validators will also be trained and encouraged to participate in HOT validation trainings prior to validation. This will help prevent map vandalism.
- In the field mapping phase, we shall collect water and sanitation facilities points. Community and settlement leaders will be engaged in this phase, such that the body of data collected reflects the conditions in the community. 20 field mappers will participate in this phase. Facemasks, hand sanitizers will be provided and other safety precautions will be observed such that the risk of contracting COVID19 is minimized.
- After data collection, we shall clean the data before upload to OSM and web map repository and dashboard that we developed from our previous projects. We shall also print maps containing this data and share it with Actogether, settlement leaders and other data users. Throughout the project duration, we shall engage data users and settlement leaders such that the project outcomes align with their data/information needs.
Describe your sustainability plan
In this section please describe how your activities will continue post-funding. If you are applying for funding to purchase equipment, explain who will store/use the equipment you purchase, and if you have long term sustainability plans for your community's development. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Our developed sustainability plan of the project and community is to help us achieve our community’s vision of creating inclusive and sustainable cities in Uganda. We hope to work with different stakeholders in the urban communities such that SDG11 is achieved in these communities.
- We shall develop new partnerships especially with community organisations to make our mapping community sustainable and also help take our mission ahead. We shall continue boosting our existing relations with YouthMappers chapters that we have been collaborating with. In developing new partnerships, we shall engage Ndejje University and draft an MOU with their Department of Survey to introduce their students to OSM. Ndejje University does not have a YouthMappers Chapter because it is a private university. We shall use this opportunity to engage their students to take part in our mapping activities and look for a possibility to introduce OSM in their curriculum.
- We shall create an inventory of all physical resources that our mapping community will purchase during the grant period. Devices and equipment such as the mini projector, laptops, wifi router etc purchased during the project implementation will be properly kept as Resilience Mappers resources. They will be used in future projects even after the grant expires. Laptops purchased will be lent out to mappers that do not have during mapathons and after returned. We plan to continue engaging OSM communities that will participate in this project beyond the grant period and therefore we shall continue sharing the resources with them during mapathons and mapping parties.
The sustainability of project activities beyond grant period is ensured through the following:
- Our involvement of communities we are mapping for example the settlement leaders and community NGOs at various stages of the project will give the communities ownership of the project and there are high chances that they may continue with some project aspects even after the project duration. These community members will be involved in the initiation and implementation phases of the project including data collection.
- Inclusion of free and open source tools and the free ArcGIS Africa Geo Portal in our project will ensure its sustainability. Training materials, user guides and resources will be created and shared on our Github account and OSM Wiki to enable members from the communities use the web maps developed. Using the materials, the members will also easily find their way to contribute to mapping activities beyond the grant period.
What are your community defined project goals, and how do you define project success?
Please explain you project goals. This can include: setting goals such as "we will train X number of new mappers", "we will register as a legal entity", or "the data will be used by X", and why these goals are important to your community such as "we intent to be legally registered so that we can receive more grant funding in the future", "we intend to engage X number of women in mapping activities so that we can empower local women" or "we want to build a partnership with X so that our data will be used and trusted". We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Our community defined project goals are to:-
- Develop the technical capacity of 100 mappers from local communities in Uganda such that they learn to map with Facebook's MapwithAI. This will enable volunteers to fully participate in remote mapping activities, mapathons and future mapping projects that require mapping with AI. 70 mappers will be from 10 YouthMappers chapters in Uganda, 10 students will be from Ndejje University and 20 members will be from 2 organizations: Somero and Days for Girls.
- Build capacity of 20 new mappers in field mapping using OSMAnd and ODK/OMK of which 10 (50%) will be girls such that we increase the capacity of field mappers in our community to 50 field mappers in addition to the ones we shall have trained from previous projects. This will enable our community to not only have remote mapping skills but also field mapping skills.
- Engage and include 65 (65%) girls and women in our project activities. This will ensure that project activities are inclusive to women and their interests and opinions are considered in all project aspects thereby empowering them.
- Map out all water and sanitation facilities in 3 largest informal settlements in Nakawa division i.e. Kinawataka, Banda and Naguru to facilitate equitable distribution of water and sanitation facilities in these communities.
- Establish partnerships with UWASNET organisations that work in the informal settlements of Kampala. UWASNET is a network of community NGOs in Uganda working in areas of sanitation and water management in Uganda’s communities. This will ensure that our data is relevant to organizations working in the water and sanitation sector.
The project will become a success when
- We receive feedback that 100 mappers have skills in using Facebook’s MapwithAI and RapiD of which 65 are girls and women.
- 20 new mappers have skills in using OSMAnd and ODK in field data collection.
- At least 4 UWASNET member organizations partner with us and become our data users.
- We have updated our web map repository with all water and sanitation facilities in the 3 informal settlements and shared it with data users and settlement leaders.
To ensure project success, we shall create a Project Initiation Document (PID) at the start of the project. In the PID, we shall detail the methodology to follow to achieve project goals and also define indicators that measure both project processes and outcomes. This will enable us track progress towards achieving the project goals.
What are your community's long term goals?
Please give describe your community's vision. This can include: where you see your community in five years time, how you want your data to be used, future partnerships you'd like to establish, or how you would like your community to grow (or not!). We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Our community's vision is to help achieve SDG11 in Uganda, creating fair inclusive and sustainable cities. To achieve this vision in Uganda, we have set up the following long term goals;
- In 5 years, we expect to have established partnerships with most of the stakeholders responsible for sustainable development in Uganda’s cities. These include the local government and urban authorities, local community NGOs, settlement leaders in these communities and the people living in these communities. This will foster a bottom-up approach which is the best approach for improving the livelihood of people living in these settlements. This project will enable us establish partnerships with organizations working within the water, sanitation and environment sector in Uganda's cities.
- In 5 years, we expect to leverage OSM and the use of free and open source tools in contributing to SDG11 in Uganda. The use of free and open source tools in this project will encourage organizations and partners we shall engage to adopt and take maximum advantage of these tools in their intervention programs in the informal settlements. This project will further demonstrate to urban authorities and agencies the importance of open data and tools in improving living conditions of people in informal settlements.
- We hope that in five years, we should have mapped all the basic services (water, sanitation, education and health) in the informal settlements in Uganda’s cities to facilitate slum upgrading. At the end of this project, we shall have mapped 2 basic services (water and sanitation) in three of the largest settlements in Nakawa division which will be vital in improving the equitable distribution of water and sanitation facilities in these settlements.
- In addition, we would also like to work with community organizations supporting girls and women, and disadvantaged groups, whilst building a network of OSM contributors in these areas, mapping and adding features in their communities on a daily basis across all Uganda's cities. This project will enable us work with 2 community organisations supporting women and girls. This will enable us introduce OSM to the girls and women engaged by these organizations. The girls and women we shall train will gain skills and knowledge that will assist them map things that are important to them.
List the tools you intend to use during your project and why
Please describe which tools you plan to use to collect, update, clean, or store you data and why. For example: "we plan to use HOT's Tasking Manager to coordinate volunteers" or "we will upload our data to X platform because..." We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Training and remote mapping
1. HOT Tasking Manager. We will use the HOT Tasking Manager to create tasks in the informal settlements that will be mapped using MapwithAI and RapiD.
2. RapiD and MapwithAI plugin in JOSM. We shall use both JOSM and RapiD for remote mapping with AI. Participants will first be engaged in training sessions using these tools to map the buildings and roads in these settlements.
Data validation
3. OSMCha and JOSM. Since OSMCha is a changeset analyser, we shall be able to look at each volunteer's entire changeset by changeset. This will enable us to validate new mappers' contributions and also give feedback to the volunteers of their contributions.
Field Mapping
4. ODK, OMK and OSMAnd. We shall use ODK and OMK during field data collection. These tools being easy to use, we shall be in position to collect both qualitative and quantitative survey data, such as GPS locations data, and photos attached to the GPS points. OSMAnd, an open source navigation tool will be used for navigation during the field data collection. The field mapping teams will use it to record their tracks of their path and update each other on the locations and how far the team has reached.
Data cleaning
5. QGIS and OpenRefine. These will be used to highlight errors, spell check, duplicates and all sorts of data cleaning activities before taking it to JOSM for uploading. These tools are widely available and easy to use with sorts of interactive tools used for data cleaning.
Data upload and sharing
6. JOSM (data upload). We will use the pre-defined presets in the JOSM tool to maintain standard tagging and quality of the data collected to be uploaded to OpenStreetMap. With the very many interactive plugins for data handling and validation, it will give us a second step validation for data being uploaded.
7. Github. We plan to document our methodologies for developing the web map repository i.e. steps we followed to create and publish it such that users from other communities can use the guide to create a similar resource in their communities
Please give examples of how you will use share your stories with others. This can include: how you will publicise your news, where you will collect media content, how you will use social media channels, and if you will reach out beyond your immediate network to share your stories. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
First and foremost, we shall develop a strong communication and outreach strategy at the start of the project so that our project progress, key milestones and results can be shared with a large audience in an organised manner. A well thought communication strategy will enable us avoid uncoordinated and last minute sharing of project activities.
Media content will be collected by taking photographs and filming videos while in the field, meetings with stakeholders, training remotely and/or physically and mapathon events we shall hold. It will also include the progress and successes attained from our project activities and how the community is being engaged.
Currently, our outreach is through social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter, which we intend to maintain all through and share project progress on a daily basis. We plan to develop our website too, where we shall link all our organisation activities from the different media platforms. Additionally, we plan to customise some cheap swag merchandise like stickers and t-shirts identifying our community as volunteers and practitioners of humanitarian work.
We will approach local mainstream media journalists from tv stations and radios to capture our stories and initiatives in the informal settlements. Additionally we shall write blogs and compose articles from experiences shared by community members about the project and posted on our website. We shall also write arcticles to be published in magazines such as the ISU surveyor’s newsletter and HOT blog.
We shall also submit a paper and/or poster about our project to local GIS conferences such as the Advances in Geomatics Research Conference to showcase our project activities for example at the AGRC2021 held at Makerere University by the Department of Geomatics and Land Management. This will be an opportunity to reach out to the geospatial community in Uganda and East Africa at large.
We shall use the OSM wiki to document our current project activities such as trainings, stakeholder enagements, mapathons, existing partnerships, expected community activities among others such that the global OSM community can be aware of our activities.
We shall continue to share our web maps and dashboards using ArcGIS Online with our Africa GeoPortal account that gives us free access to a variety of geospatial tools, and learning resources for topics related to Africa. We shall use ArcGIS Story Maps to tell a compelling story of our work in the informal settlements. This will enable us reach out and share our stories to the global geospatial community.
Partnerships
Successful applications will demonstrate one or more partnerships with a local data user. Priority will be given to applications for which the data has been requested by a partnering organisation, or where the partner organisation has expressed interest in collecting the data for a specific use or intervention. Example partners include local non-government organisations (NGOs), community based organisations (CBOs), local governments, companies, universities, schools, and other academic institutions.
Describe who will use your data
It is important that the data you generate during the project is useful, and that it will be used to advance humanitarian and/or development challenges locally. In this section, please include: if the data you will be collecting has been requested by a partnering organisation, if there is an established formal relationship with the partnering organisation, if there is an existing MoU between you and the partnering organisation, and how long have you been working with the partnering organisation. If your organisation or community is going to be the data user, please describe how you will use the data, and how it ties in with your organisation's work. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Actogether Uganda is our primary data user. Actogether works to achieve SDG11 in Uganda’s cities. It aspires to create fair and inclusive Ugandan cities with united and empowered urban poor communities, who have the capacity to voice, promote and effectively negotiate for their collective interests and priorities. Actogether is distributing portable WASH (WAter Sanitation and Hygiene) facilities as an intervention to help people in the informal settlements Build Back Better not only from Covid-19 but also against other hygiene related infections. They will use this data to determine priority areas in these communities to distribute the facilities. In addition, they will use the data for community driven negotiation for city-wide slum upgrading in these settlements.
We also got in touch with Action for Slum Health and Development (ASHD) which is a community based organisation that responds to water, sanitation, health, and development needs of the urban poor community in Kampala city. They are currently active in three informal settlements: Kagugube, Bukesa, and Nakulabye, however they are in a process of expanding their initiatives to Nakawa division where Kinawataka, Banda and Naguru informal settlements are located. They expressed the need to use this data to initiate programs that sensitize the urban poor in these slums to improve their standard of living, promote education on health, sanitation, environmental issues, and also advocate for better living conditions among urban slum dwellers through improved access to clean and safe water and improved sanitation facilities.
We have an existing relationship between Resilience Mappers and Actogether. We also expect to contact other organizations in the WASH sector to use the data that we shall collect. There are several organizations under the UWASNET network that work to improve the conditions of water and sanitation facilities in these settlements. UWASNET is the national coordinating organization for Civil Society Organizations including social enterprises, development programs, the private sector, and NGOs in the Water and Environment sector. We plan to approach at least 4 organizations including Network for Water and Sanitation Uganda, Viva Con Agua Uganda, Water for People, WaterAid Uganda among others such that they use our data in their intervention programs.
Describe any other partnerships you plan to mobilise or establish for the purpose of the project
In this section, please describe any additional partners you might be working with. If there are no additional partners (beyond the data user) this must be stated here. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
In addition to the data users, we plan to engage local settlement leaders such as Local council chair persons (LC1, LC2 and LC3) in the three informal settlements. It shall be through these settlement leaders that we shall introduce the project, its objectives and motives to the larger community in these settlements. Engaging them will also make us welcome in these settlements and have a general acceptance from the community members. The community leaders shall also be used to gather information about the needs, priorities, challenges and opportunities of their communities in terms of water and sanitation and advice on how best to engage the community members in the data collection process. Preliminary meetings shall be held during the inception stage with community leaders and enlist their support to mobilize community participation.
National data custodians such as the Ministry of Water and Environment, National Water and Sewerage Corporation, Uganda Bureau of Statistics will be contacted to provide freely available secondary GIS data of available water and sanitation facilities in these communities. The data would be vital for comprehensive preliminary studies before heading out for data collection in the settlements.
Inclusivity
Successful applications will include a developed strategy for the inclusion of women, girls, and marginalised groups in mapping activities. This includes the number of women, girls or marginalised groups you plan to engage, and the way in which you plan to interact with them.
How will you ensure that your project activities are inclusive?
Please describe how you will engage women and girls, or other marginalised communities in your mapping activities. Please include the number of women, girls or marginalised groups you plan to work with and how, and at which point in your activities you plan to engage them. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Working with organisations that empower women and girls has proven to be an effective method of engaging women and girls in our mapping activities. We hope to include a new organisation, Days for Girls in our mapping activities in addition to Somero whom we have engaged in previous projects. Days for Girls works to educate girls about menstrual health hygiene. Data about water and sanitation is vital in their initiative and therefore engaging girls from Days for Girls will help these girls map facilities that are important to their health. We shall engage 10 girls from Days for Girls and 10 girls from Somero in remote mapping activities. They will be trained about OSM and MapwithAI before starting to contribute to OSM. We shall therefore engage a total of 20 girls and women from these organisations. This will be an opportunity to increase our outreach to community based organisations and demonstrate how these tools from OSM can be used to improve conditions of living.
We also expect to engage 10 YouthMappers chapters in our mapping activities. With an average of 7 volunteers from each chapter, we expect to engage 40 girls and women (over 55%) from the YouthMappers community in Uganda. These will be engaged right from the start of the project, training in remote mapping with Facebook’s MapwithAI and RapiD, till data upload to OSM and web map repository.
We also expect to carry out an outreach program to Ndejje University because they do not have a YouthMappers chapter and OSM community. We expect to engage 10 mappers from this university of which 5 will be girls and women. We intend to introduce them to OSM and engage them on how to contribute to projects on the HOT Tasking Manager using Facebook’s MapwithAI and RapiD.
In total, we shall engage 100 mappers in project activities of which 65 (65%) will be girls and women. 10 girls and women will also participate in field mapping activities. During the execution of the project, we will also encourage women leaders to lead project activities, which includes leading training sessions, data collection teams, and data cleaning and visualisation teams. This will help in motivating other women counterparts to fully take part in project activities
Expansion
Successful applications will show how communities intend to grow community engagement. This includes a practical approach on how many new mappers you aim to recruit and how they will be involved in community activities. Priority will be given to communities that also include a plan for ongoing engagement beyond the grant period. If this is not relevant to your project, please explain why.
Explain how you plan to expand your mapping community
In this section, please include: your approach to recruiting new mappers, how will you engage new mappers, how many new members you plan to recruit, and how will you retain community members throughout the duration of project and beyond. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
We intend to work with all the YouthMappers chapters including those that we did not work with in the previous project. Chapter leads will be engaged to recruit new mappers that we have not engaged with in previous projects. 70 new members will be recruited. Additionally, we shall reach out to new communities that have never been included in our mapping activities like Ndejje University. We shall contact the Department of Survey at Ndejje University to engage their students. 10 students will be recruited. We also plan to include women and girls from local community working groups such as Days for Girls and Somero and introduce them to OSM mapping activities such that they can contribute to mapping their communities. 20 girls and women will be recruited.
Since most of the members recruited will be new to mapping with AI and field related activities, 6 training sessions shall be conducted. 100 volunteers engaged will be divided into smaller numbers during trainings to enable effective Q&A sessions. New members that have never contributed to OSM before especially girls and women from community organisations will be first oriented about what OSM is and the basics of contributing to OSM, before they are introduced to mapping with AI and field mapping. New members will also be paired with experienced mappers to ensure continuous learning.
We plan to recruit at least 100 volunteer members, from this number, 65 are expected to be girls from OSM communities and community organisations. Being a new mapping community, we look forward to retaining all the volunteer members that will have participated in the mapping activities. We will also serve out membership cards to participants who would wish to be members and continue participating in resilience mappers’ activities beyond the grant period. We shall also keep a register of all members that we have recruited during this project. Additionally, we shall serve out certificates of participation to each volunteer member as a way of extending our gratitude to them at the end of the project duration. The new members recruited will be periodically engaged beyond the project duration through mapathons and training sessions.
Collaboration
Priority will be given to applications that collaborate with other OSM communities in the region. This can be country specific or regional and can include collaboration with Youth Mappers Chapters, or members of the HOT community to help with training, validation (as examples). For support in sourcing collaborators, email microgrants@hotosm.org.
Describe other OSM communities you are already working with
This may include Youth Mappers chapters, or members of OSMF (as examples). If you are not already collaborating with an OSM community, please state this and explain how you plan to work with other communities in your project in the following question.
We have already involved five YouthMappers chapters in different universities in Uganda that is
- Geo YouthMappers at Makerere University,
- YouthMappers at Institute of Survey and Mapping,
- Mappers for Life at Uganda Christian University,
- Good Mappers at Busitema University and
- CSGU Mappers in in Gulu University in mapping.
In our most recent project, a number of mappers from these different chapters participated, and from time to time interactions with them, they are eager to learn and do more activities with Resilience Mappers. From a survey we sent out to mappers in these communities, we discovered that most of them know about remote mapping with JOSM and iD-Editor, however, few have skills working RapiD and MapwithAI and haven't really participated in either mapping with AI or field mapping. Therefore we intend to train them about MapwithAI and RapiD and thereafter engage them in mapping using these tools.
Describe other OSM communities you plan to approach, or establish relationships with, for the purpose of the project
We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words..
Our intention is to engage all the other YouthMappers chapters in Uganda i.e.
- Ever Last YouthMappers at Kumi University
- Kyambogo University YouthMappers,
- MUST Street Mappers at Mbarara University of Science anf Technology and
- HiTech YouthMappers at Uganda Pentecostal University.
We believe that there is need to involve all YouthMappers chapters in Uganda in this project. This is because we shall disseminate knowledge and skills that will be important for them in contributing to several future HOT projects in mapping with AI. We plan to approach the chapter leads to help us coordinate their members in the respective chapters. Engaging these mappers is important because they already know basics of remote mapping with AI.
Project plan and budget
Priority will be given to applications that collaborate with other OSM communities in the region. This can be country specific or regional and can include collaboration with Youth Mappers Chapters, or members of the HOT community to help with training, validation (as examples). For support in sourcing collaborators, email microgrants@hotosm.org.
