SERVIR Global Program Manager Dan Irwin from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center speaks about the history of the SERVIR program at the Central America launch in San Salvador.
SERVIR
SERVIR soon expanded its partnerships across the globe, with regional hubs in South America, Asia, and Africa.
SERVIR Central America will work to serve more than 40 million people throughout the region, collaborating with governments, universities, and civil society organizations to support existing natural resource management and development decision-making. The hub will support resilience against environmental challenges including hurricanes, droughts, deforestation, and biodiversity loss.
SERVIR Central America will also strengthen the region’s technical capacity to use Earth observations and promote opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math. The hub will expand the use of geospatial technology by young people and other groups with limited access to these tools.
“The launch of SERVIR Central America marks a milestone in the collaboration between space-based technology and Central America’s local needs,” said Irwin. “This initiative represents NASA and USAID’s commitment to putting advanced technology at the service of the region.”
