EPFL Tech4Dev -World Bicycle Relief- A Participatory GIS Toolkit for Transportation Needs Assessment

Tech4Dev is an International Cooperation Acceleration Program for Research and Innovation aimed at advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Low- and Middle-Income countries (LMICs). We facilitate cross-sector collaboration among NGOs, the scientific community (including EPFL and other universities), and local stakeholders, supported by governments and international organizations (IOs), to address the needs of populations and ensure lasting impact. One ongoing project within this program is the Participatory GIS Toolkit for Transportation Needs Assessment in Rural Areas (GIS Toolkit), conducted in collaboration with EPFL CEAT, the NGO World Bicycle Relief, and local partner Nepal Flying Labs. The project aims to map rural infrastructure, barriers, and hazards. This project introduced an open-source, participatory mapping toolkit tailored for rural communities in Nepal and Kenya. The developed solution facilitated the collection and sharing of geodata necessary for assessing accessibility, usage, and sustainability of mobility options. Ultimately, it aimed to improve decision-making concerning transport solutions.
