Job Description

I am looking for interns willing to work for free to map Africa's cadastral (land parcel) data, starting with Kenya. In exchange, you will gain valuable experience and access to knowledge from me and via the work you do. I have worked with/for Esri Sweden, Wipro/StockholmExergi (Sweden), Lantmäteriet (Sweden), Geomaps LTD (Kenya), Kenya's Ministry of Lands, Swedesrvey AB, and Accra Municipal Authority (Ghana). I run a platform called Shambamap (https://shambamap.org) that aims to provide Africa's cadastral data for free to reduce corruption, fraud, and encroachment in Africa's land and property sector. The data will be used by banks, credit information bureaus, the general public, international players, and other government agencies. You only need to be over 18 years old, a Windows or Ubuntu (GUI) desktop computer at home, install QGIS and PostgreSQL, and work 100% from home to digitise maps that are already georeferenced. Shambamap is pre-revenue hence there is no promise of any salary. You will join a platform where hundreds of Africans are working to build something they believe is worth it. Please send your C.V. to info@shambamap.org
