About this dataset

On 1 August 2018, the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo declared a new outbreak of Ebola virus disease in North Kivu Province. The Ministry of Health, WHO and partners are responding to this event, and working to establish the full extent of this outbreak. Numbers may fluctuate on a daily basis due to many factors, including continuing monitoring, investigation and reclassification of cases. Alert and suspected cases (not reported here), are systematically investigated to confirm or exclude Ebola virus disease before inclusion in the case counts or discarded as non-cases. WHO GIS team is supporting the National Health Information System Division (DSNIS) to update the health related geographic data (health zones, areas and health facility structures) and other spatial information such as road, building, school together with the OpenStreetMap community and various partners. To carry out this work, the methodology was decided with local cartographers and together we were able to improve the data locally.

DRC & Uganda - Ebola Outbreak - 2026 - OpenStreetMap Data

This dataset contains OpenStreetMap data exported from the HOTOSM disaster mapping response to the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda started in May 2026 - Glide number: EP-2026-000071-COD. In May 2026, an epidemic of Ebola disease was reported in the Ituri Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). On 15 May 2026, the Ministry of Public Health, Hygiene and Social Welfare, DRC, officially declared the 17th Ebola Disease outbreak in DRC. Imported cases from Ituri have been reported in the capital city of Kinshasa and its North Kivu Province, as well as in Uganda's capital city of Kampala. The data has been contributed by volunteers through the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's Tasking Manager and represents **buildings, roads, residential areas and settlement points (i.e. place) in the affected area**. It is updated as mapping progresses. Subscribe to this dataset to be notified of any new updates. HOT worked closely with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to define priority areas and features. Tasking Manager Projects can be found here. See the HOTOSM activation page here for more details. As of 5th of August, over 1400 OSM contributors supported this activation.
