CartONG has developed a dashboard with an interactive map to support the NGO SOS Méditerranée in its fight against misinformation about its rescue operations at sea. A dashboard that offers an intuitive approach to exploring the details of the operations to better communicate and combat the misinformation that discredits the NGO's actions.
CartONG is proud to present its new study entitled "Changing the outlook: for a local approach to data".
CartONG and the MSF GIS Centre have been working together for 10 years now. Between field missions, remote support, emergency response, and strategic thinking, we look back on a decade of partnership around Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in humanitarian response.
Over the past 6 months, our team of young volunteers and civic service volunteers developed the CartODD serious game to raise awareness among their pairs about the stakes of the day: climate change, migration, sustainable cities and gender inequality.
Last month, CartONG provided a five-week remote training in English and French on data protection and responsible data management for 300+ practitioners from 12 humanitarian organizations.
From Mexico to South Sudan, Malawi and worldwide, MapAction and CartONG have worked together for nearly a decade to bring geospatial solutions to the humanitarian aid and international development sector. Our underlying core shared values help us support NGOs and aid actors for more impactful assistance.
As part of its support for the international Missing Maps project, CartONG organizes mapathons, also known as participatory mapping workshops. These regular events bring together our volunteers and anyone with an interest in humanitarian mapping!
For several years now, CartONG has been recruiting civic service volunteers to support collaborative mapping activities, in particular mapathons. This year, CartONG participated for the first time in the International Volunteering and Reciprocity initiative.
