AfP's #CreativityInCrisis: Remote Sensing in Nigeria with Nuru International

AfP is excited to launch our next video on Geographic Information Systems featuring Nuru International, and how they were able to use remote sensing technology to track growth of livelihoods in North East Nigeria to inform their development responses. Nuru International is a U.S. based social venture whose mission is to eradicate extreme poverty in fragile rural areas and build resiliency to violent extremism.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, changing landscapes and virtual realities are challenges that we all are encountering, not only on a personal but also on an organizational level. Key aspects of our everyday work are so ingrained in physical presence and interaction that shifting our mind frame and operational capacity to a virtual reality is a taxing situation. From a research perspective, these changes can have huge implications for our work. Join AfP as we highlight innovative approaches to tackle these implications, highlighting the methodology used, results obtained, limitations faced, and lessons learned.
