CartONG publishes its 2025 annual report

In 2025, CartONG continued to support actors in the international solidarity sector, with a strong focus on a key challenge: strengthening the autonomy of local organizations through better data management.

This ambition was reflected in several localization projects. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, CartONG supported the CONAFOHD network in developing KOLData, a national platform that highlights and increases the visibility of local NGOs and their activities. In Burundi and Côte d’Ivoire, a project carried out with Sidaction enabled local organizations to strengthen their skills in HIV data collection, analysis, and protection, helping them better manage their activities and enhance their autonomy.

The year was also marked by the continuation of CartONG’s partnership with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), through the development of several strategic tools, including the Location Notification App, MSF GeoHazards, and the Staff Health Unit GeoApp. These solutions leverage mapping and geospatial technologies to improve security, risk anticipation, and operational effectiveness.

In 2025, CartONG also celebrated nearly 20 years of collaboration with UNHCR, a long-standing partnership that has contributed to numerous innovations in mapping, data collection, and data visualization in support of displaced populations.

In parallel, the organization continued to promote its needs assessment methodology, based on listening, co-creation, and design thinking. This approach helps organizations develop solutions that are tailored to their specific contexts and users’ needs.

Finally, 2025 marked a key milestone for CartONG’s future with the development of its new 2026-2030 Strategy. Developed collectively with staff members, volunteers, and members, it reaffirms the organization’s commitment to fairer, more useful, and more locally grounded data management practices.
