The WNA Hub engages with open mapping organizations and communities to facilitate the exchange of ideas and expertise across the region.

The Open Mapping Hub - West and Northern Africa (WNA Hub) was officially launched in March 2022, covering 24 countries in the region. We stimulate and strengthen the leadership of communities to protect their livelihoods, improve their resilience, and preserve their way of life by promoting social justice in accessing open data and free software for their own purposes.
