On April 10th, 2019, through the Women Connect Challenge project in Serengeti Tanzania, we conducted a one-day OpenStreetMap introductory training at Comenius Polytechnic Institute, located at Tabora Region Tanzania.

The purpose of the training was to develop the capacity of the students in the use of OpenStreetMap and also initiate the creation of a YouthMappers chapter whose members could also contribute to the Women Connect Challenge project through Crowd2map Tanzania.

By ensuring these I got the chance to travel up to Tabora so as to train and setup CPI YouthMapper Chapter made:

• Introduction to OpenStreetMap and Maps.me
• ID Editor
• Open Data Kit (ODK)
• Java OpenStreetMap (JOSM)
• QGIS Mapping

Outcomes of the training and next steps.

A copy of the constitution of IRDP YouthMappers was shared with new leadership committee to use as a template to create their own.

A leadership committee was voted by the teachers themselves to steer the chapter forward, first through the registration process. These were the president, vice president and patron. To ensure gender balance, we won to get Female President in this chapter.

A checklist of items to put in place before filling the registration form was shared, these included Drafting the constitution

A list of materials was shared with students so they can continue learning and exploring more about OpenStreetMap. These included the LearnOSM website and links to videos.
