Gender Analysis & Workshops Organization

At Earth Empower Consulting, we create meaningful change through strategic partnerships. Our team led efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in the geospatial field for the SERVIR Global program as we prepared for a potential hub in Central America. We organized two significant events:

​

• Deforestation Workshop in Belize: We conducted a hands-on workshop on "Detection of Deforestation and Forest Degradation Using Earth Observation Time Series Data," teaching participants how to use advanced tools to monitor environmental changes.​

• Geospatial Youth Workshop in El Salvador: Our collaboration with the Central American Aerospace Network at Gerardo Barrios University was a key element of this workshop. Together, we engaged 45 students (ages 15-17) from USAID-funded programs to create projects using NASA Earth data to tackle local environmental challenges.

​

Additionally, we performed gender research with stakeholders in Central America, analyzing how gender norms impact access to land information for women and vulnerable groups.​​These efforts were key in making geospatial tools and information more inclusive and accessible in Central America, ensuring everyone’s voices are heard and considered.
