The #OMDTZ team is in Geita Town Council, training local mappers to collect key drainage data, including culverts, ditches, and drain networks.

By engaging communities in the #datacollection process, this initiative builds local capacity and improves sanitation infrastructure.

Disaster recovery is costly. But preparedness, when driven by communities, is powerful and priceless.
In Mnyamani, Tanzania, we saw how putting people at the center of disaster prep made response faster, smarter, & trusted.

The app helps communities identify every object, waste type, material (plastic, glass, etc.), and even the brand of discarded items! By using this technology, actionable data could be generated to support cleanups and inform better waste management policies. #data #Solidwaste
