    Abstract Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs), initiated in 1996 in southern Africa, helped mainstream the routine use of seasonal forecasts across the developing world. They provide an important mechanism for communicating climate information as well as supporting knowledge sharing and collaboration with relevant stakeholders. The RCOFs present a unique opportunity to raise awareness and receive feedback about AICCRA in the climate community with next users – both the regional and national meteorological agencies who are creating the seasonal forecasts, but also the user communities – such as from agriculture and national disaster agencies – who also use these forecasts. In East Africa, the regional COF, which is known as the the Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forums (GHACOF), is convened by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC).

  3. Article: Enhancing national climate services: How systems thinking can accelerate locally led adaptation

    Grossi, Amanda / Dinku, Tufa

    Abstract Making agriculture resilient to the trends and shocks of a changing and varying climate requires effective use of climate information. However, in many places around the world, collection of climate data has been seriously inadequate and, even when available, poorly accessible, of inconsistent quality, and divorced from foundational capacity building that underpins its use by decision makers at all levels. The Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS) initiative of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), Columbia University (US) has been intentional about addressing these challenges holistically through its recognition that national meteorological services can and should do more than merely produce climate data. In this perspective, we highlight two recent projects in East Africa that acknowledged ENACTS early as one component in a broader climate services ecosystem. In doing so, we illustrate how the social, political, institutional, and cultural systems surrounding climate information can be just as important as the data themselves in setting up lasting yet adaptive climate services.

  4. Book ; Online: Training of Trainers (ToT) on Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS) Maprooms for Users in Zambia

    Abstract A five-day training of trainers (ToT) workshop was implemented from November 7 to November 11, 2022, in Lusaka, Zambia by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) in collaboration with the Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). The workshop, which was organized as part of the World Bank’s Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project, brought together 18 participants from the Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) alongside the Zambia Agriculture Research Institute (ZARI), the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment (MGEE), the Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA), the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) to be trained on ZMD’s existing suite of free online ENACTS Maprooms. The major objective of the workshop was to ensure that each of these institutions that play an important role in promoting the use of climate information and services and broader resilience of the agricultural sector are aware of and have the capacity to train users within Zambia on the best-available climate information products for decision-making. The ENACTS maproom products, which are freely available through ZMD’s website, provide location-specific (4 km grid) historical, monitoring, and forecast information that is important for activities related to planning, monitoring, and response for the agricultural sector and wider food system.

    Abstract A five-day training of trainers (ToT) workshop was implemented from October 31 to November 4, 2022, in Nairobi, Kenya by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) in collaboration with the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The workshop, which was organized as part of the World Bank’s Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project, brought together 21 participants from national and county KMD offices, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries (MOAL&F), and the Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) to be trained on KMD’s existing suite of free online ENACTS Maprooms. The major objective of the workshop was to ensure that each of these institutions that play an important role in promoting the use of climate information and services and broader resilience of the agricultural sector are aware of and have the capacity to train users within Kenya on the best-available climate information products for decision-making.

    Abstract Availability of and access to climate data and information products is critical to achieving climate resilient development. However, climate information is not widely used in Africa. Useful information is often not available or, if it does exist, is inaccessible to those that need it most. Efforts are being made to alleviate the problem of data availability and use.

    Abstract La disponibilité de données météorologiques et de produits d'information basés sur ces données – et l'accès à ceux-ci – est essentielle face à l'objectif d'un développement à l'épreuve du changement climatique. Toutefois, ces informations météorologiques ne sont pas utilisées à grande échelle en Afrique. Les informations utiles ne sont souvent pas disponibles, et lorsqu'elles le sont, ceux qui en ont le plus besoin n'y ont pas accès. Des efforts sont actuellement menés pour remédier au problème de la disponibilité et de l'utilisation de ces données.
