Grounding the OSM ProjectThe Humanitarian OSM Team in Haiti

Intro

PreparednessDisaster response* remote work* field work: 7 weeks 3 missions (March - June 2010)Early Recovery/ Development (MapKibera)

Powered by MapAction/ECHO and World Bank ($)OSM & HOT Supported in the field by UN (IOM), CNIGS, FOCS

Growth and sustainability of OSM project in Haiti (OSM Haiti)

Challenges

Time

Context :* post disaster* LDC & poverty vs VGI* Accessibility to territories, internet & power * Institutional fragmentation* Under resourced ($, staffs & discontinuous GIS capacities* Lack of IM/GIS culture* Lack of high quality (geom & semantic) open data

-> Mis-use & under-use of scarce resources

Process/Continuum/Strategy

Overall StrategyHOT Strategy & Planning document

Field Mission strategy1 ENABLE GIS ACTORS TO BETTER CONSUME OSM2 ENABLE GIS ACTORS TO CONTRIBUTE TO OSM3 OUTREACH TO HAITIAN CIVIL SOCIETY 4 FOSTER THE USE OF OSM IN GIS ACTORS WORK5 FOSTER SYNERGIES GIS ACTORS & HAITIAN OSM COMMUNITY (grassroot) IN ACTIVITIES

Outcomes

* March/ April: 60 * May: 70* June: 200

* Internationals/ National/ Grassroot actors

* Drivers to GIS practitioners

* Survey - Editing - GIS

* Port Au Prince, Jacmel/ Leogane/ Gonaives

* Empowered with hardware kits & access to functional working spaces

* OSM in Map Production & in humanitarian baseline surveys
