On July 14, 2016, NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) launched SERVIR-West Africa, a joint project to strengthen environmental monitoring in West Africa.
SERVIR graduate research assistant Kelsey Herndon is using Earth observation satellite data to map surface water and its changes in Niger, West Africa.
Meet Finu Shrestha, GIS Research Associate for ICIMOD/SERVIR-Hindu Kush Himalaya.
Drought is threatening the lives of millions of farmers in Niger. With NASA’s help, we’re pioneering a new approach—hundreds of miles above the planet.
ICIMOD, under its SERVIR-Hindu Kush Himalaya (SERVIR-HKH) and Climate Services for Resilient Development (CSRD) Initiatives, is collaborating with technical organizations in the United States and meteorological and agricultural institutions in the HKH to establish a regional agricultural drought monitoring and early warning system.
The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region is no stranger to water- and weather-induced hazards. Every year, these disasters result in loss of lives, livelihoods, and damage to infrastructure throughout HKH countries.
The SERVIR program, launched in 2005, connects NASA, U.S. researchers, a network of development partners around the world, and companies like Google to harness the power of satellite observations — helping countries see, with greater clarity, how their environments affect well-being and safety.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has been implementing the SERVIR-HKH Initiative — one of five regional hubs of the SERVIR network — in its Regional Member Countries, prioritizing capacity building and science activities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan.
