Wazimap, from the Xhosa word ulwazi for knowledge, provides easy access to different kinds of data through a mapped and open-source information system, designed to help non-technical users explore data meaningfully and in context. We consider it the Geo-Information Spatial Tool “for the rest of us”.
The ability to place co-created data through a simple and intuitive back-end significantly expands both the potential to create new data, and connect an audience to that data. OpenUp’s experience in creating data and managing data pipelines can facilitate your curation.
There is significant value in visualising data comparatively; it both enriches your experience, and provides context. Wazimap provides strong embeddable features that any audience can easily understand quickly, with little guidance, providing a great user experience.
The strength of Wazimap lies not just in how it looks, but also the complexity of the story it is able to tell. The data panel provides different ways of slicing and understanding the data, making it a rich policy-planning and resource-planning tool.
