In March 2019, CartONG carried out a 2-week mission in Burkina Faso in support of the Yaam Solidarité association. Here is a look back at the mobile data collection and mapping support we provided and the collaborative and sustainable approach we implemented.

Launched in May 2018, the Maps from here & abroad project aims to create new frameworks for exchange and intercultural dialogue between migrants and members of their host society through mapping workshops. Here is a look back at 12 months of implementation and reflection on the methodologies of sensitive and participatory mapping.

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!
