Cocôzap

"Cocozap" (lit. PoopZap) is a collaborative mapping project designed by data_labe in collaboration with residents of the Favelas de Maré Complex, and with the support of Casa Fluminense and the Maré Development Networks. It began as a project to register sanitation and infrastructure problems in the favela, asking citizens to collaborate by sending geolocation, photographs and descriptions of problems with drinking water, drainage and garbage collection in their homes and neighborhood areas. With these data, a mapping was generated, also used as a survey of the local situation. Later, various dissemination projects and participatory reports were carried out with these data in conjunction with residents of the Complex. Finally, from all this process, a Sanitation Agenda for Maré 2030 was produced to include the political demands for sanitation in the territory. A Popular Monitoring Plan was also launched in 2020.
