Adaptation Community Meeting - Science to Impact: SERVIR’s Service Planning Toolkit
Event Information
After over a decade delivering on SERVIR’s goal of bringing space to village, SERVIR faces many of the key challenges that plague research for development initiatives. These challenges include making certain that research is meeting genuine needs and is demand driven; connecting and tailoring information for relevant real-world decisions; avoiding redundancy; and ensuring SERVIR outputs have proper handoffs, capacity transfers, and incentives for sustainability. After ten years of learning, SERVIR captured these lessons in a “Service Planning Toolkit” to help the program and its partners design sustainable services that maximize SERVIR’s investments for development impact.
Join us for a webinar that will provide an overview of the SERVIR Service Planning Toolkit, examples of toolkit implementation from partner institutions, and a discussion of broader applications for those working in the field of research for development.
Presenters:
- Dan Irwin, SERVIR Global Program Manager, NASA
- Kevin Coffey, Adaptation Advisor, USAID
- Katherine Casey, Knowledge Management Lead, SERVIR Support Activity
- Anastasia Wahome, Science and Data Lead, SERVIR East & Southern Africa
- Farrukh Chishtie, Science and Data Lead, SERVIR Mekong
