Read more about what all the member organisations of the Missing Maps initiative have been up to past year in the annual report.

There is some pretty cool stuff, for example the Lightning Project of Map Kibera, and the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in mapping workshop organised by George Washington University, and many many more!

The membership did also grow with 2 organisations: 3iS and Kenya Red Cross. Welcome to this world of open mapping!
