Humanitarian OSM Team/Haiti Strategy And Proposal/Follow Up Mission 3

Scope

• Stabilize the HOT OSM kit/package in an Haitian instance of the HOT SDI: the OSM platform articulated to geodata management solutions in place in Haiti (UN clusters & CNIGS/DPS/DINEPA)
  • Issue a new version of the Humanitarian Data Model (HDM) & questionnaires & presets
  • Issue a new version of the HOT Humanitarian Field Guide series:
    • surveying,
    • editing with JOSM (presets and tagging)
    • using OSM in QGIS-postgres-postgis
    • using OSM in Mapnik
    • managing data imports with SAFE
• Populate OSM with baselines and humanitarian data
• Grow rapid mapping capacities in CNIGS (& in UN Clusters) using the HOT SDI (OSGeo stack set up for humanitarian mapping with OSM as a data feeder)
• Consolidate/ stabilize capacities in PAP, Jacmel & Leogane into functional local nodes of OSM Haiti.
  • autonomous in surveying and editing with OSM techniques; autonomy in GIS & mapping on OSM + OSGeo stack is a plus.
  • animated by internationals, nationals and civil society (Forum Communautaire of Cite Soleil & INURED)
  • furnished with an OSM kit (GPS units, workstation and printers) accessible to OSM Haiti mappers in a secured office space with internet access
  • active pursuing the surveying work initiated during the mission based on the model IOM-lead base line surveys in Cite Soleil
  • raised to autonomy
• From the PAP, Jacmel and Leogane, reach out to
  • North (Gonaive and Cap Haitien),
  • Centre (Petit and Grand Goave, Gressie from Leogane)
  • South West (Les Cayes, Jeremie)

Plan

Port Au Prince

• 4/5 days
• Set up HOT SDI at cluster head levels
• Coordinate HOT 3 field trips in country
• Training
  • Audience
    • UN in LogBase
    • Dev projects (WINNER, DAI) & their partners
    • CNIGS
    • Community mappers (Cite Soleil, INURED and Ushaidi Haiti)
  • Focus
    • internationals overview
    • Drivers
    • grow CNIGS capacities in rapid mapping leveraging on camp mapping (IOM) using OSM + QGIS (HOT SDI)
    • grow multi cluster surveying capacities leveraging from experience of IOM CNIGS and Community mappers (Cite Soleil) in Cite Soleil and Tabarre *** constitute the team from CNIGS and Community mappers to support the HOT 3 field trips in country

Jacmel

• consolidate the "advanced" capacities built up in mission 2 which span surveying - editing - and using OSM data into a map production environment ESRI/ QGIS set up for 2 main paradigms: (i) disaster response (eg the main cluster system data pipelines and products with an involvement of both DPC and DINEPA), and (ii) environmental studies (UNDP & MDE)
• consolidate "basic" capacities (surveying & editing) amongst trainees from mission 2 with the objective reach out to others.

Les Cayes and Jeremie

• ideal goal: grow self sustainable OSM capacities in those 2 hubs with a nucleus of "advanced" OSM users, minimally equipped, with a office space with internet access.
• Depending on time distance and road practicability, existing IM/GIS capacities, IT equipment, Internet access, availability of accessible humanitarian hubs, two scenari:
  • Gather the more IT/GIS literate persons from Les Cayes and Jeremie in Jacmel and count on a training of trainees scheme to get OSM started in Jeremie and Les Cayesonce back in their base. "Advanced" OSMers from Jacmel as co-facilitators (experience and networking).
  • Gather the more IT/GIS literate persons from Les Cayes and Jeremie in Les Cayes; "Advanced" OSMers from Jacmel as co-facilitators (experience and networking).

Leogane

• Consolidate "basic" capacities (surveying & editing) with the objective to outreach to actors we do not touch yet.
• Focus on SASH so that they can support an OSM community Leogane.
• Expertise will span surveying - editing - and using ready to use cartographic products (WP and OSMatics)
• Focus : (i) disaster response (eg the main cluster system data pipelines and products with an involvement of both DPC and DINEPA)

Petit Goave, Grand Goave et Gressey

• ideal goal: grow self sustainable OSM capacities in those 2 hubs with a nucleus of "advanced" OSM users, minimally equipped, with a office space with internet access.
• depending on existing IM/GIS capacities, IT equipment, Internet access, availability of accessible humanitarian hubs, two scenari:
  • day/ half day trips from Leogane to those areas
  • gather the more IT/GIS litterate persons in Leogane

Gonaive

• Consolidate "basic" capacities (surveying & editing)
• Focus on individual/ group of "advanced" OSMers who can support an OSM community in the North.
• Expertise will span surveying - editing - and using ready to use cartographic products (WP and OSMatics)
• Focus : (i) disaster response (eg the main cluster system data pipelines and products with an involvement of both DPC and DINEPA)
• Reach out to Cap Haitien directly of gather in Gonaive most IT/GIS litterate persons
• inputs for planning:
  • time distance from PAP to reach Gonaives and from Gonaive to reach Cap Haitien.
  • Capacities: IM/GIS staffs, IT equipment & internet access at humanitarian hubs
