This project aimed to update OpenStreetMap (OSM) with accurate district boundaries for Uganda , which is divided into 146 districts across four regions and has undergone significant administrative division since 2005. As of October 2022, OSM only included 112 districts. A team of four Ugandan mappers used government data and local knowledge to add the missing 34 district boundaries. Future work will focus on updating county and sub-county boundaries within OSM.
