Mentor Protégé Program
Masego was awarded a Mentor-Protégé program (MPP) grant by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) in 2018. The program duration is for fiscal years 2019-2021, ending on September 30, 2021. This program by the Department of Defense paired Masego with Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) as the Mentor. This partnership helps Masego compete for larger contracts and secured the company a ISO 9001 certification.

A core component of Masego’s MPP proposal was the development of a human geography product that met the technical, quality, and specification standards set by the National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG). This standard, known as the NSG Application Schema (NAS), represents expert-level human geography tradecraft, both for the United States Government (USG) and for the foreign governments which comprise the International Program for Human Geography (IPHG).

Masego's novel human geography product is called ADAdata, a Data-as-a-Service (Daas) program which will offer customers the ability to use, analyze and create reports with raw data from web browsers or the GIS application of their choice.

Through the MPP Masego partnered with Fayetteville State University (FSU), a Historically Black College/University (HBCU), as an academic partner in the development of ADAdata. This partnership produced 15 FSU interns at Masego, two of which graduated and were hired by Masego to work as full-time employees on the ADAdata project.
