This fact sheet provides and overview SERVIR West Africa phase 2 implementation, which includes a consortium of seven regional institutions in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria, Mali and Senegal.
When irrigation isn't available, it's important to know when to expect rain. But with changes to our climate, farmers in West Africa can no longer count on a predictable weather. To mitigate this, SERVIR West Africa works with AGRHYMET to improve access to reliable weather and crop forecasts.

Between 2018 and 2021, SERVIR HKH trained 410 women in “Empowering women in GIT” to bridge the technology and gender gap in the region. Some of the key outcomes of these trainings are summarized in this report.
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.

This fact sheet highlights how SERVIR West Africa is supporting sustainable management in Burkina Faso through commune-level development planning.
The Support for Commune-Level Development Planning in Burkina Faso service is developing an information platform for monitoring of the physical occupation, land use, land cover, and spatial data infrastructure of commune-level administrative areas in Burkina Faso to support decision making related to sustainable management.
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.
Through SERVIR, NASA's Earth Science Division's Applied Sciences Program advances the use of space-based observations to inform policy and decision makers as they adapt to the impacts of global change and plan for a sustainable future.
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.
