We want to celebrate and recognize your contributions!

Every month, we showcase the contributor, our UN Mapper of the Month who have distinguished themselves from the crowd due to their exceptional achievements and contributions to the UN Mappers community goals and objectives. You could be the next one!

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!

Paolo Frizzera

Paolo Frizzera is one of the first consultants who spearheaded the UN Maps project and has previously worked with UNGSC. In his volunteer time, he likes creating maps and generating open data that can used by anyone in various purposes such as planning and humanitarian action.

“I like the idea of contributing to the creation of a map and I also like the idea of generating data that can be used by anyone for different purposes such as planning and knowledge of a territory, humanitarian purposes and relief in emergency situations. There's a real satisfaction to do that.”
