Project overview
The Open Mapping Hub – Eastern and Southern Africa (OMH-ESA) team is working with Zambia Statistics Agency (ZamStats) to use OpenStreetMap, open data and open mapping processes and methodologies in statistical development and production in Zambia. This includes the use of OpenStreetMap (OSM) for digitization of building footprints across Zambia, and addition of currently mapped datasets to OSM for the upcoming National Census 2022. This will further strengthen geospatial data collection, dissemination and use in Zambia.

Download the data
Below you'll find the data downloads for this MapSwipe project, including a GeoJSON file that can be imported into the HOT Tasking Manager for more detailed mapping of the area.

Aggregated Results
Aggregated Results. This gives you the unfiltered MapSwipe results aggregated on the task level. This is most suited if you want to apply some custom data processing with the MapSwipe data, e.g. select only specific tasks. Check our documentation for more details. (Note that you need to unzip this .gz file before you can use it.)

HOT Tasking Manager Geometries
This dataset contains shapes that are ready to use in the HOT Tasking Manager. Currently, the geometries consist of maximum 15 MapSwipe Tasks, where at least 35% of all users indicated the presence of a building by classifying as "yes" or "maybe"

0.7 MB
Moderate to High Agreement Yes Maybe Geometries
This dataset contains all results where at least 35% of users submitted a "yes" or "maybe" classification. The output dataset depicts the union of all selected results.
