Senegal Elections on Google Maps

OneWorld pioneer internet and mobile phone applications designed to improve the life opportunities of the world's poorest people. Senegal-Scrutin 2012 was created by OneWorld to help monitor the government elections in Senegal.

Yesterday more than 500 election monitors were stationed at over 1,500 polling booths across the country, and reported back their findings. These reports were then mapped in real-time on the Senegal-Scrutin 2012 Google Map. Red markers on the map indicate where at least one adverse report was made by the monitors and the green markers indicate where only favourable reports were submitted.

The real-time election monitoring map will be deployed again on March 11th for the second-round of the vote.

Sengal Drinking Water Map

AGEPA

The AGEPA project has produced a Google Map to provide information about access and about the management of drinking water and sanitation in a number of villages in Senegal. One aim of the project is to provide better knowledge about drinking water resources to enable for the better planning of development projects for rural water supply in the area.

A Geographic Information System 'AgepaBase' has been developed by the project in order to monitor and share information. The data from the project can be accessed via a Google Map. It is possible to view data for each of the villages used in the project and refine the data shown by type and feature.
