Whenever possible, we try to build awareness of our work and FGM, with the support of the press around the world. If you’re interested in writing an article about Crowd2Map, or if you’re running an event and need support with a press release, please contact j.chapman@tanzdevtrust.org
Below are some of the articles that have featured the work of Crowd2Map Tanzania.
Also check out these podcasts and videos about how mapping helps progress towards the SDGs, and our mapping training videos.
