Why GIS is the Future of Agricultural Project Monitoring in Malawi.

Monitoring agricultural projects across vast rural areas is notoriously difficult. Traditional M&E methods often fall short when trying to capture spatial dynamics.

Enter Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

By mapping interventions, organizations can visually track progress, identify gaps, and allocate resources more efficiently. From tracking crop yields to mapping irrigation systems, geospatial analysis provides a layer of intelligence that spreadsheets simply cannot.

As a Data Scientist in Malawi, I integrate GIS into broader M&E frameworks to ensure evidence-based policy support.
