Overview
NLT's Chief Scientist worked in partnership with the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) to lead a workshop on remote sensing and satellite imagery. Working with ten researchers from the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), the workshop focused on using geospatial data for impact evaluation from remote sensing technology. Participants wrote a series of four blogs about their experiences and findings as part of 3ie's blog series, Evidence Matters.
