Since 2018, SERVIR has conducted 12 training programs for young and early-career women in geospatial information technology (GIT), reaching 1,490 women across the region. The training focuses on using technologies to collect, store, analyze, and visualize spatial or geographic data about observing the Earth’s surface and human activity. Participants learn about key concepts and how to use applications that depend on EO data and GIT.

As part of this service, SERVIR HKH, with the technical support of Brigham Young University developed a streamflow prediction tool that incorporates all primary and secondary rivers in the HKH region
A special workshop was held 22 and 23 December 2014 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, for beneficiaries of the SERVIR-Himalaya Small Grants program to present research outlines, methodologies, and preliminary findings for their projects.
Working in developing countries around the world, SERVIR seeks to incorporate regional knowledge and perspectives to best meet end user needs in addressing issues such as flood forecasting, forest fire management, landslide hazard, agricultural monitoring, and biomass estimation.
SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya partnered with the University of Alaska Fairbanks to organize a training titled HydroSAR: Extracting flood information from SAR to advance the use of SAR at ICIMOD and across the HKH region.
