Why There are many OpenStreetMap communities across Africa, with varying capacity levels, some are active, some are dormant, some are very just beginning, and in some countries there are no existing communities at all. All these communities can learn from each other and grow. A continent wide monthly mapathon will help grow cohesion across countries on the continent and grow the spirit of collaboration while contributing data to OpenStreetMap. How Each of the 12 mapathons will be hosted by a different country, who will also choose the place and purpose of the mapping and will give a short presentation about their community at the beginning of the mapathon. After the presentation will break out into the following rooms according to language and mapping experience. There will be a room for beginners mappers to learn how to map, and a room for experienced mappers to do validation, and mapping. Registration for the event will be done via Eventbrite in different languages to ensure it can reach many people, and a call for mapathon hosts will be shared in advance to schedule events for the whole year in advance.
