In June 2022, M\u00e9decins du Monde France requested CartONG\u2019s support to carry out participatory mapping workshops in two precarious neighborhoods in Mayotte, Longoni and Dzoumogn\u00e9. The objective was to increase M\u00e9decins du Monde’s understanding of the two neighborhoods, specifically concerning water points and their accessibility, as part of a project to raise awareness of the impact of water on the health of local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aimed to mobilize residents and improve their understanding of the neighborhood’s development issues. CartONG helped M\u00e9decins du Monde design and implement a tailored participatory methodology, based on simple mapping tools that would enable residents to actively contribute to the production of geographic information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various workshops were organized with M\u00e9decins du Monde volunteers and local residents, introducing residents to mapping and defining the legend of the map they wanted for their neighborhood. A selection of tailored and accessible geographic data collection tools allowed residents, supported by M\u00e9decins du Monde and its volunteers, to map their neighborhoods. CartONG transformed this data into maps, producing 6 maps for each neighborhood: 1 reference map and 5 thematic maps focusing on issues linked to access to drinking water, waste management, access to emergency services, and spaces to be enhanced and protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A feedback workshop was conducted to help participants understand their neighborhood’s development issues and assert their rights to better living conditions. After a year, CartONG’s support ended, and residents developed micro-projects based on the maps. A steering committee of residents and neighborhood associations was formed to implement these citizen initiatives arising from the participatory mapping. In Longoni, a truck carrying drinking water was put in place between the “Monetic Fountain Terminals” and hills neighborhoods, providing water to 123 households. In Dzoumogn\u00e9, a previously unused Far\u00e9 was reinvested, and literacy classes for adults were held three times a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
