Capabilities
NLT research is applied research — questions asked because a program, a ministry, or an agency needs the answer. The methods lean on the firm's Analytics & Insights practice, and where agriculture is the subject, delivery runs through the nltPAGAF platform.
Program Evaluation and Impact Assessment
Experimental and quasi-experimental evaluation design, data collection, and impact assessment for development programs.
Urban Heat Island Research
Satellite-based urban heat island analysis and policy research. Saudi Arabia urban heat island study using Landsat and MODIS data.
Economic Analysis and Modeling
Macroeconomic and microeconomic modeling, household survey analysis, and development finance research.
Agricultural Research
Precision agriculture research and program evaluation. USDA NRCS/FAS and TOP (The Opportunity Project) participation through nltPAGAF.
Geospatial Research
Applied geospatial research including land use change analysis, urban growth modeling, and conflict-affected area assessment.
Survey Design and Field Research
Household survey design, field enumerator training, data collection protocols, and statistical sampling for development research.
Past Performance
From urban climate in Saudi Arabia to development finance in West Africa, this record follows one rule: evidence over anecdote. More of the international story is on the International clients page.
