The impact of community-based monitoring on public service delivery: A randomized control trial in Uganda
In many developing countries, poor delivery of public services remains an important problem.
Smallholder maize yield estimation using satellite data and machine learning in Ethiopia
The lack of timely, high-resolution data on agricultural production is a major challenge in developing countries where such information can guide the allocation of scarce resources for food security, agricultural investment and other objectives.
Structuring the complexity of integrated landscape approaches into selectable, scalable, and measurable attributes
Integrated landscape approaches (ILA) aim to reconcile multiple, often competing, interests across agriculture, nature conservation, and other land uses.
