🌍 Mapping solutions to provide clean water & food 🌍 Empowering communities through data 🌍 Local focus, global impact

Joined January 2011
Impact isn’t a number on a report. 💚 It’s a farmer deciding where to dig. A family finding safer water. A community planning with confidence. At MapAid, we use mapping, data and AI to turn uncertainty into clearer decisions — on the ground, where it matters most.

Notes from a hybrid business person & aid worker: Chapter 5 @HenleyBSchool 1) In last month's blog, the author showed 'a map of gaps', where reconstruction grants were missing at the ground level, in the post-conflict of Kosovo. Part 1: live.henley.ac.uk/news/15893… #sustainability

3) For the responsible use of the funds and discouragement of corruption, post-conflict aid needs to be conditional on the implementation of appropriate economic policies, financial accountability, and transparency. Maps from post-conflict Kosovo promote such transparency.
