GIS + Earth observation
Geospatial data and tools is the bedrock for many evaluations. Use this technology to enhance the quality of your evaluation.
You won’t become a geospatial expert, but you will be able to read spatial data files and do basic tasks yourself.
This course features real-world case studies from different countries.
Reduce your time in finding good tools, methodologies and datasets. This course will show you how to find the data you need to make better evaluations.
Gain in-demand skills in geospatial data collection and use of high-resolution satellite imagery. Use geospatial indicators to measure project effectiveness.
Track where project sites are, how they change through time and what should be measured.
Compare older and newer imagery to verify project assets and validate changes on the ground.
Use geospatial methods to design treatment and control site sampling more clearly and consistently.
Measure outcomes with satellite-based variables to understand effect and impact over time.
Evidence in practice
Monitoring and evaluation is most useful when evidence moves beyond reporting and helps shape real decisions. See how thriveGEO turned complex stakeholder input into structured insight for a major European technical project.
