ONLINE INTERACTIVE MAPPING

• Benefits of mapping: Central place to collect information from multiple sources Customize map to topic and area of interest Easier to interpret the links between different types of information

• Increasingly used to explore and understand the intersection of – Natural resource use and management– Governance and transparency – Development

• More common for forestry, water resources, wildlife and others

ADDITIONAL DATA TO ADD

• Add more data:– Mining concessions– More district-level socioeconomic indicators (poverty,

unemployment, etc)– Data from Ghana’s 2010 Census– Government oil revenues and disbursements– District expenditures of revenues– Civil society organization locations– Other donor projects (Norway, Great Britain, etc.)– Infrastructure– Small-scale mining

5. Future Directions

CURRENT STATUS OF PROJECT

• Beta testing site launched in the last 2 weeks• Currently seeking feedback and suggestions• Improve the interface based on feedback• Explore other technology options

– Reducing page load time for slower connections– SMS input and feedback– Mobile access or applications– Direct integration with agency data portals

• Assessing options for – Local management and maintenance – Expansion to other countries– Integration and cooperation with other mapping efforts in the extractive

industries

QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK

• Is this a useful format? What would you use it for?• What other data would you like to be able to display at the same time?• What other data do you consider relevant to mining, oil and gas?• What other data would you like to have pop up when you click on an

item?• Are there other links that should be provided through the map (like the

links to company websites)?• What additional media would be most effective for communicating this

information (CD, booklet..)?• What other organizations would be interested in using or contributing

data to this map?• What other community impacts or benefits of extractive industries should

be included?
