UN Maps is a mapping initiative that aims to assist UN peacekeeping missions in their field endeavors,
such as peace and security, navigation and logistics, by providing its peacekeepers with topographic
maps that will help them in their tactical and operational activities.

UN Mappers is a community of passionate digital volunteers supporting UN field operations by editing
OpenStreetMap or providing open geospatial data. The community is composed of more than 4000
contributors including UN personnel on the field (GIS and Information Management working groups
and uniformed personnel), academia (high schools and universities), local communities and remote
volunteers from all over the world. UN Mappers have been giving support to crises such as the
earthquake in Türkiye and Syria, development projects such as educational planning in Madagascar and
innovative applications such as Virtual Reality. Everybody can be a UN Mapper, and you can stay
updated on the community activities by following UN Mappers' social media or visiting
