On Friday, April 14th, the 6th edition of the GeoNight took place, which honors geography and geographers! CartONG has, for the 5th consecutive time, coordinated several collaborative mapping workshops - also called mapathons - simultaneously in France, in French-speaking Africa and online!
In February, CartONG conducted a two-week mission in North East Syria to provide Geographic Information System (GIS) support to Solidarités International (SI). A mission that is part of a larger consultancy that CartONG has been conducting for SI's Syria field teams since September 2022.
CartONG launches a brand new project combining participatory mapping and awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The CartODD project aims at mobilizing young people in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (France) to adress the main challenges of their generation: climate change, migration and gender inequality.
To accompany its growth and deploy its new strategy, the CartONG team has built a new governance model based on the principles of collective intelligence and is now looking for a Executive Director to lead the organization and its evolutions!
In the last 3 years, as part of the Strengthening program data management within Francophone CSOs initiative, we have released more than 100 resources. These resources aim at supporting CSOs - be they international or locally based - improve their understanding and practices related to data management.
In July 2020, CartONG announced the start of a new two-year phase for the Maps from here and abroad project. It is time to have a look back at this innovative project, which led us to conduct 47 workshops with migrant people all over France, thanks to the financial support of the Mental Health Committee for Exiles of the Fondation de France.
Between December 2021 and July 2022, CartONG supported Terre des hommes (Tdh) to develop a new FACET tool, called FACET WinD, to assess the sanitary conditions in which people in detention live.
After a first collaboration between July 2020 and January 2021, then between July 2021 and December 2022, Expertise France asked for CartONG’s support once again in March 2022 as part of the Innov'i project implemented by the agency in Tunisia. The objective? To provide a dashboard able to monitor and showcase the advancement of the project. For the past few months, CartONG has been providing its expertise in data collection, processing and visualization to answer its partner's needs.
