Last Sunday, we collaborated with #OpenStreetMap Zambia for an online mapathon. 💻

They supported the mapping of Towsi-Libee roads 🛣, as part of our #mappingforpeace efforts in Somalia. 🇸🇴 The data generated will be used to provide peacekeepers with topographic #maps that will help them in their tactical and operational activities.
