Case Study: Médecins Sans Frontières delivers accurate crisis maps for faster aid with FME by Safe Software

Médecins Sans Frontières maps 95,000 people in Goma with Safe Software

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) faced a critical challenge in its humanitarian work: a lack of accurate, up-to-date maps in crisis zones where it operates. This missing geodata severely hampered the planning and efficiency of its relief operations. To address this, MSF turned to Safe Software and its data integration platform, FME, to automate the processing of open-source geospatial data.

Using FME, Safe Software's platform enabled MSF to automate the transformation and quality checking of raw data, building detailed maps from the ground up. This provided first responders with actionable information, transforming previously blank areas into mapped regions with the detail needed for efficient resource allocation and decision-making, as seen in their response near Goma. The solution from Safe Software created reliable, repeatable workflows that ensure MSF's teams have the accurate data required to deliver aid effectively.
