Craig Allan : It would be very good to build mapping capacity and enthusiasm among the youth in Tanzania. For that to happen you need a youth focused programme with large scale participation over a long period. This seems to be a fairly short data gathering project focused on delivering data with little discussion of the way it will support, enlarge and enhance the OSM community. With some small support from the OSMF this could be re-organised to have a wider impact and to involve more people.
- Thanks Craig Allan for your advice and support, we currently need more support from OSM also. Because as youth mappers here in Tanzania it would be better for us to stimulate other working groups and youthmapper chapters to be active as we do. Since 2017, we do volunteering work while it's our hope that one day the OSM community will see our struggling. So, this is the starting while on the other hand, your support will be a vital tool to ensure we move on.
