Crowd sourcing Non-Camp Refugee Data

[kiggudde]

• Description: An escalation of violence in South Sudan since July 2016 has lead to a large population movement into the north of neighboring Uganda. An estimated rate of between 2,000 and 3,000 displaced persons cross the border into Uganda each day. In a rapidly developing situation such as this, it is vital that accurate and up-to-date mapping information is available to allow the ERU to respond more effectively and efficiently.The maps that you create in this task will enable sanitation facilities - including latrines, hand washing points and hygiene promotion activities - to be effectively provisioned for the people living there.

Looking at the latest imagery, looks like the most recent imagery is April 2017. These two IDs:

• 104001002C746300
• 104001002C886E00

To resolve this request, we'd have to be ok with a little older imagery OR look to put in a request for a new collect. These are of areas that have seen significant increase in numbers of refugees in the last two months and so having more recent imagery would be beneficial.
