Iβm honored to begin my journey as a 2025 Fellow with the Open Mapping Advocacy Network (OMAN) under the HOT Open Mapping Hub β West and Northern Africa (WNAH). Over the years, I have actively contributed to the open mapping ecosystem through OpenStreetMap Sierra Leone and YouthMappers, as a 2023 YouthMappers Leadership Summit Fellow and 2023β2024 YouthMappers Regional Ambassador for West Africa and a Trainer, OSM Sierra Leone. These experiences have shaped my passion for leveraging geospatial technology as a tool for sustainable development, data-driven decision-making, and youth empowerment.
I applied to join the OMA Fellowship because I deeply believe in the transformative power of open data and participatory mapping to promote inclusion, community actions, and resilience. The OMAN Learning Initiative provides a meaningful opportunity to expand my skills in course design, open mapping advocacy, and community engagement, while collaborating with my co-fellow to co-create impactful learning resources that empower local mappers and communities across West Africa. Together with my co-fellow Jimerveille Thierry-Ngouama, weβll be co-developing the course βOpen Mapping for City Management and Planning.β This learning initiative explores vital and practical themes such as: -Open Data for Sustainable Cities -Informal Settlement Mapping -Disaster Preparedness and Resilience -Disability Assessment and Accessibility Mapping -Revenue Generation and Urban Innovation These themes strongly resonate with challenges faced across West African cities, where limited access to reliable geospatial data often hinders effective governance and urban development. Open mapping offers a powerful and practical pathway to strengthen urban planning, disaster risk management, and inclusive infrastructure design ensuring that no community is left behind.
Open mapping matters to me because it gives people and places visibility and voice. It allows communities to document their realities, share their stories, and use data as a tool for advocacy and positive change. I have witnessed firsthand how collaborative mapping projects can bridge the gap between local governments, NGOs, and citizens, fostering trust and enabling more equitable and evidence-based decisions that improve lives. As an OMAN Fellow, I am truly excited to learn, collaborate, and contribute to advancing open mapping across Africa ,involving in initiatives that promote inclusive growth, sustainable cities, and empowered local voices through open data.OpenMapping #OMANFellowship #OMANFellows2025

@BafDyce probably best to join the local chapter's mailing list, that is where it was mentioned for Munich.
Check also with the local universities/institutes if they are offering or if they are setting up their own groups. Like here someone from TUM setup #youthmappers.
