Communities go live when a local team is ready to maintain accurate information and respond to local requests. The country list is provisional pending network approval.
What local communities can help with
Country teams focus on the information they are equipped to review. Available services may differ by country.
Events and road closures
Share event, access and closure information for community mapping review.
Partnership guidance
Understand Event Partners and Waze for Cities, then follow the official Waze route.
Map editors
Find local editing guides, standards and community support for your country.
How it works
Community volunteers review local requests and may ask for more information. Submission does not guarantee publication in Waze.

South Africa is ready to guide the way.
The South African community website brings public requests and local guidance together. Its separate map-editor site remains the home for structured editing guides and standards.
Know when you are leaving the community site.
This website is community operated. Official programme applications, account support and app support are handled through Waze-owned services.
Local knowledge belongs close to the road.
Volunteer communities understand the local context behind a place, event or map question. Waze Africa helps visitors find that community and the right next step.
Each country website is maintained only when a local team can keep its information current and support the services it publishes.
