Mapathon for Guapi
The Mapathon for Guapi was an initiative carried out in 2016, in order to support the control and pre-elimination of malaria disease in the municipality of Guapi, Cauca, through the generation of open geographical data of the city to contribute to the formation of networks to reduce the burden of malaria. The initiative was developed at Cauca?s Secretariat of Health in agreement with the National University of Colombia, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and funded by the British Council, who contacted the Openstreetmap Colombia organization which is the promoter and developer of collaborative maps with technological tools. As a result, a comprehensive map of buildings and roads of Guapi was developed with the help of people who wanted to collaborate online with the free mapping tool.
