Paromita basak Bangladesh Open Innovation Lab (BOIL) Innocent Maholi OpenMap Development Tanzania Edoardo Neerhut Mapillary Erica Hagen Map Kibera EthicalGEO UN-GGIM @courtneymclark3 Important point from Paromita basak: Mapping informal settlements in cities can potentially put their residents in a vulnerable situation; the government might consider their settlements illegal. Understand community needs and wants before mapping. #SotM2021 #StateoftheMap

A point from Innocent Maholi: When you're mapping with drones, people are going to have a lot of questions. Be ready to explain the project and make sure local communities have access to the data. #SotM2021 #StateoftheMap

Erica Hagen: Not always possible to get consent before a project, and consent is never guaranteed. Shifting focus based on the consent a project does and does not receive is a challenge, but not uncommon. #SotM2021 #StateoftheMap
