servir

A joint development initiative of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID), SERVIR works in partnership with leading regional organizations world-wide to help developing countries use information provided by Earth observing satellites and geospatial technologies for managing climate risks and land use.

SERVIR is improving awareness, increasing access to information, and supporting analysis to help people in Africa, Hindu Kush-Himalaya, Lower Mekong, and Mesoamerica manage challenges in the areas of food security, water resources, land use change, and natural disasters. With activities in more than 30 countries and counting, SERVIR has already developed over 40 custom tools, collaborated with over 200 institutions, and trained more than 1800 individuals, improving the capacity to develop local solutions.

The Network

The SERVIR network is made up of regional “hubs'' dedicated to environmental management through the integration of Earth observations and geospatial technologies. The SERVIR hubs have a team of local specialists with expertise in geoscience, environment and natural resource management, and community engagement. Through their collaboration with NASA, USAID, local partners and consortium members, these hubs lead a co-creation process to develop tools and services that meet local needs. 

Currently, the SERVIR hubs and host institutions include:

  • SERVIR Amazonia - at the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Cali, Colombia with a consortium of partners
  • SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya - International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Kathmandu, Nepal.
  • SERVIR Southeast Asia - Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) in Bangkok, Thailand with a consortium of partners
  • SERVIR West Africa - International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Bamako, Mali (ICRISAT is the lead organization for a consortium of institutions)
