One of the main aspect of the work carried out by CartONG since its creation in 2006 has been to build capacity within the aid sector, particularly in the fields of GIS and MDC. After a year dedicated to structuring and scaling up our training offer in 2017, CartONG carried out a significative work in 2018 on the training and support services offered to its partners.

CartONG and its partner Les Petits Débrouillards have been implementing for nearly a year a project to raise awareness about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) throughout the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, called "EducAuRA". As part of this project, CartONG created a map exhibition on the topic of migration entitled "When maps speak to us"; which we are inviting you to discover here.

CartONG et ses partenaires vous invitent à nous rejoindre le vendredi 5 avril dans le cadre de la Nuit de la Géographie 2019. Au programme : de la cartographie participative en soutien aux organisations humanitaires !

CartONG concluded in December 2018 a project to build a “data collaborative” in DRC to improve the measure of SDGs around health thanks to crowd-sourcing and in particular OpenStreetMap. But as usual in DRC, things turned out to be a little more complex than  anticipated!

Since May 2017, CartONG has supported ACAPS’ information mission by producing maps for the Briefing Notes they issued at the occurrence of each crisis for the humanitarian community. Let’s have a look back on 18 months of partnership.

In recent years, CartONG's information management unit has continually grown and progressively expanded its fields of activity, in particular by accompanying more and more frequently consortia in their management of information. Often called to the rescue, several months after the launch of the consortium to facilitate information management within them, CartONG had the opportunity this autumn – a rather exceptional situation – to intervene before the launch of a consortium coordinated by Solidarités International.
