Our Mission

The mission of OpenStreetMap Uganda is to have a vibrant OpenStreetMap community in Uganda: united, organised and growing to assist, and get involved in National and global development goals.

OpenStreetMap Uganda Vision

To have a greater capacity for open data, open source, and applying these principles to assist organizations, individuals locally and internationally to manage and solve social, economic and community challenges

Most of our activities are set up around the global OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. OSM is a map and database whereby the stored geographic data is owned by the contributors themselves: allowing everyone to view, create, use this information for free, in new and innovative ways.
