Not clear yet what the concrete benefits are, but it’s worth noting #OpenStreetMap has been registered as a “Digital Public Good” by the Digital Public Goods Alliance (#DPGA), which is a multi-stakeholder United Nations-endorsed initiative.

@Doudouosm @openstreetmap I agree that we don't know the real benefit, but I will be proud to make part of an official "Public Good" by UN !
