Tsongo Muluba Bienvenue
Voting Membership Chairperson / Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
I'm a Geometer-Topographer engineer, I'm also a cartographer. I have worked on many mapping projects with OSM RDC in the health sector. I've also promoted HOT throughout my career as a cartographer to many social class groups. My real involvement in HOT started during the EBOLA pandemic that hit the city of Butembo where I live in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018. Being a cartographer, collecting spatial data for health facilities was difficult due to a lack of open source tools to use for this urgent activity. That's when a friend told me about OSM and collection tools like OsmAnd and OsmTracker. Very excited, I trained a lot of health workers on data collection and thus passed on this knowledge to many young people in my region and contributed to the end of the EBOLA virus disease epidemic.
