  In an era where informed decision-making is paramount for sustainable
development and effective resource management, the role of Earth observations
(EO) in shaping economic landscapes cannot be overstated. EO, facilitated by
satellites, sensors, and data analytics, is a cornerstone for evidence-based
policymaking, risk mitigation, and resource allocation. SERVIR is a joint
initiative of US Agency for International Development and NASA. This paper
presents a comprehensive survey of relevant economic impact assessment (EIA)
work, summarizes SERVIRs potential interests in EIA, and identifies how and
where EIA could improve how SERVIR quantifies and communicates the impact of
its services.
