Ethiopia

MASAE was engaged to develop a geographic sampling frame for a large-scale community survey in Ethiopia, focusing on rural and host communities around 10 refugee camps across four regions. The project utilised remote sensing and data science to remotely sample 900 dwellings, ensuring representative and efficient data collection.

MASAE supported the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in monitoring its four-year migration programme in Ethiopia. The initiative aimed to address the challenges of irregular migration by providing stakeholders with a unified platform for tracking activities and outcomes.

MASAE collaborated with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and partners to develop web platforms targeting cash-in/cash-out (CICO) agents in underserved regions. The project focused on identifying and addressing “white spots”—areas with no CICO agents—in countries including Congo, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Pakistan, and Malawi.
