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:
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:
- 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 |
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.
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.
