This diary is a collaboration between Ibrahim and Nombuso.

As part of the open humanitarian mapping community working group mentorship programme, all mentees were asked to produce a legacy project. As Nombuso wanted to work on data that would benefit women and girls in Eswatini and Ibrahim wanted to improve his technical skills, we decided to collaborate on one joint project.

Choosing eSwatini health data as the focus of our project.

We know that good quality health data is an asset for women and girls (to be able to find where there are services, when facilities are open and how far they might be away). So we decided to investigate how well OpenStreetMap provided information on these services for map users. First, we tried to download and consolidate all of the health data in OSM (amenity=hospital, clinic and doctors).
