From 2023 to 2024, MASAE partnered with an international hotel chain to help them monitor and advance their environmental goals. The focus was on assessing the Green Plot Ratio (GPR)—a measure of the amount and types of vegetation present across their properties. By accurately mapping and analysing vegetation, the hotel chain could better assess its overall environmental impact.

In 2022, MASAE collaborated with GIZ to develop a centralised, open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) for managing irrigation channels in Iraq. The platform was designed to streamline the monitoring and maintenance of water infrastructure, supporting sustainable resource management in a region where efficient water use is critical.

In 2021, MASAE partnered with GIZ to assess the impact of irrigation network restoration efforts in Anbar governorate, Iraq. The project focused on evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitated irrigation canals in supporting agricultural productivity and local livelihoods.

Towards the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, East Africa faced devastating locust swarms that wreaked havoc on crops and fields. MASAE Analytics responded by employing data science, GIS, and mapping to estimate the extent of the damage using satellite imagery.

In 2020, Mercy Corps contracted Altai Consulting and MASAE to support the PERMA consortium in Iraq, focusing on research and evaluation for agricultural development. The project aimed to provide robust research partnership and technical support to PERMA’s agricultural initiatives.

In 2020, MASAE partnered with AFD to assess deforestation in the Sahel region, with a focus on Niger. The project aimed to monitor forest resources using advanced satellite data and ground truthing techniques, providing vital insights for sustainable land management.

MASAE supported the Africa Regional Climate and Nature Programme (ARCAN), a transformative initiative addressing interconnected climate, ecological, and socio-economic challenges across Africa. At the heart of this effort is a custom dashboard designed to synthesise and visualise critical data, empowering stakeholders to track progress and make informed decisions at continental scale.

MASAE partnered with the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) and the DRC Ministry of Environment to empower local experts with cutting-edge geospatial skills. This collaborative training initiative focused on using open-source tools like QGIS and remote sensing technologies to tackle pressing environmental and regulatory challenges.
