Assetmap.org/Uganda

Challenges Entered: 
assetmap.org/uganda will help American citizens who are currently or wish to be engaged with development in Uganda better collaborate. To more effectively coordinate citizen-led efforts to support conflict transformation and community development in northern Uganda, people need access to the following information:1. Where projects operate, 2. What issues they address, 3. Which actors are involved. This information needs to be presented in such a way that it is accessible for all actors involved. The information will be user-generated, and needs be organized in using mapping, tagging, and customized database tools. Mapping tools such as Googlemaps provide users the ability to identify the locations of their projects in Uganda, but the open “description box” associated where map users can describe the location does not provide rigorous enough information to organize and share specific data. Customized database tools like DabbleDB could allow assetmap.org/uganda to design an application that captured and organized information about citizen-led efforts. The relevant information includes the focus of the projects, level of funding, and number of participants. We would like to develop a tool such as a Facebook application that provides information about citizen-led projects in norther Uganda by integrating mapping tools with some sort of customizable database, and allowing participating citizens to link their profiles (facebook or linkedin) to the map location
