Carrie Stokes has helped the U.S. government achieve the most effectiveness for their dollar when delivering foreign aid and humanitarian services. She uses mapping and satellite imagery to identify the places most affected by natural disasters, such as the earthquake in Nepal or malaria outbreaks in Mozambique.
“Carrie has literally helped put places on the map,” said Priya Jaisinghani, acting director of USAID’s Center for Global Solutions. “Never before did we have this granular data that allowed us to fully understand complex issues about regions where we conduct our missions.”
