You can contribute as a UN Mapper in different ways:

Contribute to our mapping projects and keep track of your data through our UN Mappers Leaderboard. We will be awarding the mappers positioned at the top of this leaderboard. 
Please keep in mind that we evaluate not only the quantity of data, but also the quality!  

Organize collaborative events with your community and let us know through our social media or mail! The more people you have an impact on, the better.

Expand the UN Mappers community by organizing a local group of mappers to contribute to our mapping projects! 
We are also looking to capacitate and empower of local communities and small groups!

You may also support by doing community activities like translations, logo designs, illustrations and so on!

Rubi Shrestha Mapper of the Month

Rubi Shrestha

Rubi Shrestha is our top contributor for the UN Mappers x FAO  Agricultural Waterways Mapping in Southern Mauritania Project 4 - she completed 204 tasks covering 1,168 km2 area, and mapped 323 km of waterways.

“My motivation comes from knowing that open data supports vital work in areas such as disaster response, resource management, and sustainable development. Mapping also allows me to connect with a global community of passionate mappers, exchange knowledge, and continually learn new geospatial tools.

Map used to guide me, now I help to create them.”
