Humanitarian OSM Team/HOT Microgrants/Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Summit Grant 2020/Proposal/Social development and economic resilience leveraging on open & free OpenStreetMap data in Maiduguri, Borno, Nigeria.
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.
We plan to address these major challenges:
- Awareness and knowledge on OpenstreetMap Data benefits in public management and revenue generation for government
- Creation of spatial data for public management and governance
- Creation of spatial data for other users such as non governmental organizations and individuals
Borno state has been affected by insurgency by the past 10years which has greatly affected life, hence, the Borno State Government has launched a 25-year Development Plan aimed at fast-tracking economic and social development in order to ensure that citizens can transform their lives around and beyond the current status. Borno State Development Plan (BSDP) is to drive stabilization, recovery, and development across all sectors despite the devastating impact of over a decade of insurgency, one of the key areas is reconstruction, rehabilitation & resettlement, and purposeful infrastructure.
Hence, the project will address the information gap on the numbers and locations of corporate/industrial cadastre in Maiduguri metropolis, so desire to identify potential sources of internally generated revenue (IGR) to the state.The state agency with this mandate Borno State Internal Revenue Service (BSIRS) and Borno State Geographic Information Systems (BOGIS) had dismay over lack of cadastre data sets, which had led to lost of state revenue at a time when the state government is so desirable of funding for its 25 years development plan. There are numbers of undocumented cadastre in the state most expsecially in the central business districts and industial layouts in the metroplis, which require adequate mapping and documentation for the puropose of tracking land charges as well as income tax of employees.
However, to achieve this, there is need for data that can be used to make plans , especially spatial data that can be attributed, which government agencies such as Borno State Geographic Information Systems can use to plan, make analysis, and support government decisions. The digitization of buildings within Maiduguri, especially government, social and commercial infrastructures will enable the government to actualize these plans. From the building footprint, estimated revenue can be calculated as well as expenditure for social infrastructures such as health facilities, schools, Internal Displaced People camps, police stations, among others.
The project also intends to use the avenue to introduce the benefits of OpenStreetMap to BSIRS and BOGIS. This platform will also be used to promote OpenStreetMap across the government agencies, schools network and communities, thereby increasing the local community mappers and 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.
The objective is to map all corporate/industrial cadastre in Maiduguri metropolis in order to identify cadastre that are liable for land charges as well as income tax for employees.This project will provide required data sets for the relevant state agencies (BSIRS/BOGIS) to meet expected targets. The project is targeting cadastre currently being used for corporate businesses such as banks, factories, etc in Maiduguri as seen from the satellite imagery. Also, mapping of social infrastructures such as health facilities, schools, Internal Displaced People camps, police stations, among others and commercial infrastructures will help the government to implement the Borno State Development Plan (BSDP), as well as generate revenue.
The funds will help with increasing the current number of community mappers within the state especially with focus of the female mappers, which will be specifically driven to a ratio of 60-40 (male, females), provision of data for mapping and stipend for power when mappers are mapping from home. The funding will also support training and establishment of youth mappers clubs as well as training of government staff of BSIRS/BOGIS to ensure sustainability and continuity.
The mapping is to focus on mapping of corporate/industrial cadastre in Maiduguri metropolis which comprises Maiduguri LGA and its environs, which has an estimated population of about 1.1 million people, over 300,000 estimated building footprint (over 50,000 industrial buildings). In this LGA will be broken down into wards and further down into a manageable unit of 5000km via HOT tasking manager, where mappers will be assigned to map after comprehensive training
With 30 trained mappers (18 males and 12 females), the team will be divided into a team of 5, with an experienced mapper (team lead) who will support the mapping, conduct first level validation and support mappers. The team will also collect relevant field data where necessary. There will be additional support from 2 Project Managers/GIS analyst and 1 project coordinator to ensure the project deliverables are met with the set timeline and the right quality.
Staff from BSIRS/BOGIS will also be trained, they will be assigned to join the formed group so that they can also learn how to coordinate this for continuity and sustainability.
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.
The project is to be with collaboration with government agency, BSIRS/BOGIS, hence they will be incorporated into the training as well as staff of HMs in order to ensure continuity of the project. We will continue to provide further training and engagement with BSIRS/BOGIS, and ICSS so that the solutions can be introduced to other government agencies and agencies.
We currently organized biweekly/monthly session with our community mappers, hence with the equipment purchased, community mappers that currently do not have laptop which be loan the laptop for mappings, also we will also be renting them(smart phones, laptop) out for cash which will intend to use to continue to fund the biweekly/month training and small adhoc community project or mapping request.
This equipment will be branded, tag and track (tracking apps), so that we can effectively manage and utilize them and users will fill a user/damage form before they are given so that they are protected and valued.
The long term plan is to work with government agencies such as BSIRS/BOGIS, and ICSS in adopting the use of OpenStreetMap and associated data for their uses, thereby serving as a platform to reach out to others. With this, we can continue to generate funds to sustain community mapping projects, then extend to other areas and states within Nigeria.
We also will be working with the newly created Borno Youth mappers of University of Maiduguri, currently they are not in session. However, with the mapping , they can continue to sharpen their skills as well as grow the ranks. We are hoping to leverage on this to reach the University of Maiduguri and department of geography on possible partnership thereby having an MOU to train their students on OpenStreetMap.
Inorder to ensure attraction of mappers to the community, we will also be ensuring that community mappers get training in other areas such as GIS, data management, communication, project management as well as extend these services to the government agencies and others.
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.
We set the following goals:
- To map building footprint for revenue generation
- To have a mapping community of 30 trained volunteers that will consistently support mapping activities and the project
- To always use the 60/40 ratio for gender as well as ensuring females take up leading roles
- To complete the ongoing registration process with the authority as well as open account and other essentials for running of the organization
- To ensure the data is captured for use by the government agencies and others
- To ensure the collaboration between BSIRS/BOGIS and us is effective
- To collaborate with the University of Maiduguri thereby starting a mutually beneficial relationship
- To collaborate with the media thereby providing the platform to share our stories
In measuring our success, we are looking at how effectively we have been able to achieve the stated goals above. The goals that are definite in number will be measured based on number while those that are not, will be measured based on rank/scale.

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.
In the next 5 years, we will have grown to have more members as well as offices in other parts of the country. With the successful implementation of our projects, the acquired skill sets and local context, we will be major implementing partners for humanitarian organizations and UN agencies. Therefore, spatial data will be a major resource for resolving and responding to challenges facing the country. We are also looking at implementing projects for HOT as well as in conjunction with OSM Nigeria, being a cohost of the HOT Africa summit in Nigeria.
We are also providing services such as data collection , GIS mapping, cartography, etc, for income so that we can continue to sustain ourselves.
We are looking at establishing more youth mappers clubs in the northern part of the country so that we can have a large pool of human resources to support mapping activities and also grow our membership. With ongoing partnership and collaboration with government agencies, spatial data will be rightly available for economic and social development.
In all, we will be ensuring that open and free data is available to support all sectors (food, health , nutrition, WASH, protection, shellter, etc), so that emergency actors can adequately respond to the need of the people, through community mapping with local context and content.
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.
| Tools | Reasons |
| Kobocollect | This will be used for data collection where needed in the field, it is easy to design and use. It is also free and open |
| QGIS | It is a GIS software that will be used for spatial data analysis, cartography. It is alo compatible with OSM data. |
| HOT’s Tasking Manager | This will be used to manage the mapping by different mappers inclusive of external mappers. It will help to breakdown the mapping areas into manageable chunks for mapping & validation |
| ID Editor | This will be used for mapping especially by new mappers due to the ease of ease. Though, it requires constant internet connectivity |
| JOSM | This will also be for mapping however, only intermediate and advanced mappers can effectively use it, More robust and requires little internet |
| RapidID | We will be leaving on its’ AI predictions to map more building and roads, thus making us map more within short time and the right quality |
| OSMCha | This will be use to support the validation process after the mapping |
| Social Media: Facebook, Twitter | These platform will let the world knows what we are doing |
| Wiki | We intend to fully embrace wiki for the broadcast of our project and stories |
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.
The stories will be made in short videos and pictures which will be shared via official websites and social media such as facebook, twitter, linkedin,etc. We will also be using the media outlets of our collaborating partners to share the stories. The stories will be sourced directly from the field in action, during mapping with consent of those involved. Individually mappers will also be using their platforms.
The coordinator will also serve as the communications officer who will ensure that the stories are well tagged, consent driven as well as creation of blog posts to support the publication of websites and social media.
We will be involving the press media as a major stakeholder as we have started advocacy with Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Borno State Television Corporation, and some IT social media platforms. We intend to also provide some training spot for them and a day visit to showcase the important of OpenStreetMap & spatial data to their work so that we can have free coverage based on mutual relationship and benefits.
We will be using OpenStreetMap wiki and the OSM platform such as the community working group and OSM Nigeria(registration in process) for stories sharing
Finally, we will actively engage with HOT in the publication of our stories as well as training sessions and resources.
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.
The ministry of health (COVID_19 task force team), who we have a formal relationship with and have implemented a HOT mapping project together. The data will serve as a continuous data upgrade, which will continue to power the navigation system for the trained drivers using the HOT provided tablets in the ambulances.
Albarka Health Spring Foundation, we have been working together over the past 3 years as well as MoU to provide training and support to them on OpenStreetMap, GIS, and data management. AHSF supported Nutrition, health , protection and food intervention in the North east. The data will enable them to proactively do targeted intervention in Maiduguri and also provide evidence-based estimation to their donors and government.
BSIRS/BOGIS will be using the building footprint for the followings:
Mapping of corporate/industrial cadastre in Maiduguri metropolis in order to identify cadastre that are liable for land charges as well as income tax for employees.This project will provide required data sets for the relevant state agencies (BSIRS/BOGIS) to meet expected targets
For urban planning and development through ensuring that building are not on waterways and flood plains, thereby reducing urban flooding
With detailed building footprint, targeted surveys and intervention can be done by the government, which will enhance public management and governance. Serves as a platform to start the building of the spatial database that can be used across government agencies, organizations (private and non-private), NGOs and institutions.
We are hoping to let the media also see the importance and benefits especially when utilizing it in their coverage and reports
In summary, we aim to continue to provide free and open data available to everyone so that we can continually improve the availability of evidence-based analysis and solutions to make impact decisions especially in underserved and security challenged communities.
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.
We intend to work and collaborate with the University of Maiduguri via the department of geography leveraging on the newly created University of Maiduguri Youth Mapper Club. The collaboration will provide a pool to students and awareness of OSM and HOT as tool sets that can be used as an alternative to paid tool sets. This collaboration will be a major advantage for us, because we can then be able to have access to venues, lecturers and small projects that we can implement with the university.
We will also continue working with our current partners: the Ministry of health and Albarka Health Spring Foundation, as the data generated from this project will be of benefit to them also, with more details buildings and roads, drivers can travel more efficiently and targeted intervention can also be done at IDP camps and host communities.
We are quite hopeful that the engagement and collaboration with BSIRS/BOGIS will bring on board other government agencies and parastatals. We will work with them to ensure that we share the benefits and advantages of spatial data to other agencies and ministries hence we will be incorporating a bit of GIS and spatial analysis to better highlight the importance of the datasets and OpenStreetMap.
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.
We will be targeting vulnerable groups i.e young women/girls for the training and mapping in addition to the pool of existing females’ members of humanitarian mappers. Therefore, the mapping team will be 60/40 ratio, female to males. As we believe that when females are busy, engaged and unavailable, it will significantly reduce their exposure to GBV. We will reserve the space for the females mappers and will also ensure that they have coordinating roles in managing the project. We will also include spots for special people such as people with disabilities. i.e. we will be having 12 female mappers out of the 30 mappers,and reserved slots for special people across gender.
In order to achieve this, there will be deliberate hunting and wooing for these sets of people (girls/women and special people), there will be incentives to attract them such friendly workspace for special people, gift packs, swags, certificate of participation and award of excellence. This will be based on getting the best base on basic set criteria in order to ensure the project objectives are met.
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.
Most of our current community mappers are students from the university of Maiduguri and Ramat Polytechnic, hence we are currently supporting the establishment of a youth mappers club. The University of Maiduguri is ready hence we will be providing training and technical support to them so that it will serve as an avenue to get more mappers on board.
With our collaboration with the University of Maiduguri, it served as a rich source of mappers, as well as our collaboration with NGOs and government, this will serve as a platform to get more mappers as well as other projects that the community will continue to support thereby providing room for continuous mapping and intake of new mappers
We also are including other knowledge areas in our training and mapping session which host biweekly/monthly. The other knowledge areas such as GIS, cartography, data collection and data management will serve as an attraction for mappers to join and also remain dedicated.
Gift Packs , swags, Certificate of partition and awards of excellence will be given to encourage mappers. We also intend to delegate more duties and power to the team members so that there can be a sense of ownership and commitment, this will go along with stipend, data and mapping tools. I.e. there will be team leads, coordinators, etc.
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Summit
How did you participate in the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Summit?
Please describe how participated in the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap summit, either as an attendee, speaker or volunteer
Yes, as a speaker and an attendee
Yes, as a speaker and an attendee where I did a light talk on ‘Getting the best of COVID_19 for Data” where I discussed the success and lesson learnt from our COVID-19: HOT Rapid Response Microgrants Using OpenStreetMap data to support emergency ambulance response services in the Northeast, Nigeria, where we were able to train over 30 community mappers, collaborate with the COVID_19 taskforce team under the Ministry of Health and Alubarika Health Spring Foundation in mapping over 2000 buildings, 1264 amenities, 14 COVID_19 infrastructure. 7 drivers were trained on the use of OSMAnd for navigation and mapping. Installation of tablets on 5 ambulance for navigation with the Borno state to aid movement of COVID_19 patients and other emergency transportation. Sessions Attended: Olivier Cottray, ESRI Director of Humanitarian Solutions: OSM and ArcGIS ; Marc van den Homberg, Matthew Wencel, Cristiano Giovando, Antoni Ros Martinez, Fiona Huang-Netherlands Red Cross 510, REACH Impact Initiatives, HOT, & WFP: Damage Assessment; Jeff Underwood, Yunzhi Lin-Facebook: Map With AI: Past, Present, and Future; Kazeem Owolabi-Humanitarian Mappers: Getting the best of COVID-19 for Data.
Key takeaways
Please describe any highlights, takeaways, inspiration, or things that you learnt at the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Summit 2020.
The use of AI to accelerate mapping needs for humanitarian response such as RapidiD, as well as collaboration with different organizations such as WFP, map action, ESRI in supporting the use of OpenStreetMap data.
The adoption and use of OpenStreetMap by UN agencies such as WFP, UNICEF, and other top humanitarian agencies show the simplicity and effectiveness of the solutions because these solutions are deployed for emergency response with little time for complex toolsets and solutions, which they know can be transferred easily to others.
Also how ESRI continuously plans to continue to allow integration of OSM in ArcGIS and plans to allow contributions from the ESRI platform as well. And the ArcGIS Editor for OSM is definitely one I will need to try out, this will definitely make some analysis and cartography on the ArcGIS desktop great.
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 will be working and collaborating with University of Maiduguri Youth Mappers, as well as support from the HOT community for training materials and guidance and validation as always.
We are in sync with the OSM Nigeria, though the registration is in process.
Geoffrey Kateregga of the OSM Uganda has been of great help and support to our mapping activities
OSM Community working group and HOT will also be of continuous help to us, as they have been instrumental in linking us to both human and material resources which ensures we were able to complete our grant successfully as well as conscious mapping activities
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..
We are hoping to reach out to the working group of OSM Nigeria (a group of individuals OSM mappers that are currently working to register the OSM Nigeria officially), we are an active member of the group and also request support from this group individually.
This collaboration ensures us to have other mappers contribute locally within the country, provide a platform for networking, learning new stuff that work locally and further bonding to form a united OSM community in Nigeria.
We also intend to linkup with Ayodeji Akinseye, a major OSM mapper influencer from the southwest of the Nigeria, who has organized mapathons in Lagos and Ibadan, with a view to strengthen local bonds, learn, share ideas as well as hosting continental and global mapping events.
