The Geographic Information Services (GIS) work in an acute context of displacement with multiple official and several spontaneous IDP camps is described in this interview with the Jean-Guy Adeoud, GIS Flying, in André, Chad, done by Jan Böhm, Emergency Field Communications Manager – Eastern Chad, on 18 November 2023.
To keep up with the quickly evolving situational development, updated maps are needed. The Missing Maps volunteers helped MSF update the geo data in OpenStreetMap mapping remotely West Darfur in Sudan, as well as the Adré camp, Ourang camp, Metché camp, and Arkoum camp, in Estern Chad. Also the Earth Observation team helped MSF teams on the ground massively keep the map products updated.
