Is this the first-ever WhatsApp Map?
+
The traditional method of assessing water infrastructure relies on field surveyors, a process that is often slow and costly. This can pose challenges for timely decision-making, especially in regions facing drought and hunger. In May 2024, pastoralists from various villages were engaged in the data collection process. Organised into WhatsApp groups and using Kapta, they facilitated faster and more efficient assessments by creating WhatsApp Maps on water infrastructure. Within just a few days, these WhatsApp mappers determined that 75% of the water infrastructure was non-functional, providing local authorities with accurate, ground-level information to take quicker and more informed action.
More case studies coming soon.
