Background

LTS can help Missions integrate MAST and land and resource mapping into new or future project design, and can also provide technical assistance to deploy small-scale, activities. Under LTS, the MAST Learning Platform was also developed on the USAID LandLinks site, serving as a knowledge portal for information, tools, lessons-learned, and best practices.
