Being a new mapper with literally zero experience in mapping,the conference was a much needed experience for me and I managed to learn one thing I least expected was realising that mapping was not all about mapping but could also the open streetmap could be involved in the change of the country thorough intetiatives like Mapping in GBV and also Mapping in covid

This was a conference through was doing exams had to sacrifice a few hours here and there to be able to catch up with the detailed insight in what meets the eye other than the fixed perception of mapping .

Therefore mapping shouldn’t be all about mapping new areas but also a way of being a drive factor for a better Uganda, Africa and the world at large .
