Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 530 17 000001
SERVIR AMAZONIA is a USAID and NASA-backed initiative designed to help countries in the Amazon region make better environmental and climate-related decisions by using Earth observation data (such as satellite imagery) and geospatial technologies (like GIS mapping and spatial analysis). The opportunity sits under the larger global SERVIR program, which focuses on strengthening the ability of governments and other key institutions to turn scientific and geospatial information into practical, day-to-day decision-making tools. Rather than being a purely research-driven effort, the intent is strongly applied: build usable decision-support capacity so that public agencies and partners can respond more effectively to environmental threats and long-term climate pressures.
This specific activity, SERVIR Amazonia, is also tied to USAID's Amazon Regional Environment Program, which targets major drivers of environmental damage in the Amazon. That broader program aims to reduce harm to Amazon forests and water resources caused by large-scale infrastructure development, extractive industries, and the compounding effects of climate change. Within that context, SERVIR Amazonia is positioned as a technical and capacity-building lever: it seeks to reduce negative impacts by expanding the routine use of geospatial analysis in planning processes, policy decisions, and operational responses. In practical terms, the grant envisions improving how institutions monitor conditions, anticipate risks, evaluate tradeoffs, and choose interventions by integrating satellite-based and other Earth observation products into formal workflows.
The thematic center of SERVIR Amazonia is hydro-meteorological management decision support, meaning it prioritizes information services that help institutions manage weather, climate, and water-related risks. It highlights several priority themes: drought and fire risk (including monitoring, early warning, and preparedness planning), water resources and hydro-climatic events (such as floods, extreme rainfall, river conditions, and watershed impacts), ecosystems management (supporting conservation, land-use oversight, and ecological monitoring), and broader weather and climate services (tools that improve understanding of climate variability and help translate forecasts or climate indicators into action). The underlying idea is that better, faster, and more accessible geospatial intelligence can support prevention and mitigation, not just post-disaster response.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed by USAID in Lima, Peru (Peru USAID-Lima) with an unrestricted eligibility category, meaning a wide range of applicants could potentially compete, depending on the final solicitation requirements. The funding opportunity number is RFI 530 17 000001 and it is categorized under Environment with CFDA 98.001. The listing shows an award ceiling of up to 10,000,000, indicating a potentially sizable investment to establish or expand services, partnerships, and operational capacity. The original closing date noted is 2017-02-06, and the record creation date is 2017-01-06, which places it as a time-bound procurement/grant notice from that period.
Overall, SERVIR Amazonia is best understood as a climate and environment decision-support effort: it aims to connect advanced Earth observation capabilities with on-the-ground planning and governance in the Amazon, focusing especially on water and weather-related risks and on strengthening institutional capacity to use geospatial tools to reduce environmental harm and improve resilience.Apply for RFI 530 17 000001
