Abstract

This paper provides a brief review of the state of water point mapping associated with and beyond OSM, with a focus on rural Malawi in south-eastern Africa. The review is offered to stimulate exchange with other researchers who are similarly concerned to address ways to leverage OpenStreetMap (OSM) to enhance management and development of rural water services. It stems from recent research conducted by the author on drinking water quality in southern Malawi, which has also included a new collaboration with a community-based organisation (CBO) with its own record of supporting local community water management developed over several years. As well as drawing on the author’s own experiences working with this CBO the review also considers papers from other recent Malawi-focussed research projects plus reflections of a separate sub-Saharan water development specialist.
