Mapathon: Map the way on International Women’s Day#

In support of the ongoing project Geospatial Assessment of Women Employment and Business Opportunities in the Renewable Energy Sector, GOST is organizing a week-long mapathon in collaboration with Youth Mappers and George Washington University.

Join us March 4th to March 11 and help us collect reliable data on road infrastructure and critical services and facilities in the province of Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic, where a detailed analysis with the Gender Enabling Environments Spatial Tool (GEEST) will be performed to determine the spatial factors that are hindering women’s economic empowerment in the region.
