Publication Foreword -- ACMAD
“The innovative case studies presented here demonstrate that, used successfully, climate information can not only improve livelihoods and economies but even save lives. Together we can learn from these innovative practices, and in so doing help to create a better Africa.”– Abdoulaye Kignaman-Soro, Director General,
African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development

GCOS/UNECA/IRI sponsored meeting– climate ‘suppliers’ and ‘users’
Key gaps identified:–• integrating climate into policy–• integrating climate into practice–• climate services–• climate data
Gaps in Integrating Climate into Development

What is already being done to manage climate risk in Africa?
Is there evidence that climate information can contribute to sustainable development?
Pressing need for information and strategies for managing climate risk
The Questions…

Selected Lessons learned• Climate information is most effective when integrated
into decision-making frameworks
• Reducing climate-related risks requires multi-level stakeholder coordination and communication
• Climate information must be credible if it is to be used in decision making
• Reinforcing and sustaining climate observation networks is essential if the full potential of climate information for decision making is to be realized

Selected Lessons learned• Information and communications technologies,
the media, and extension services are vital components of improved information systems
• Innovations for managing climate-related risks are being developed and deployed
• Economic analysis of the value of climate services is lacking

Recommendations• Recast climate as a ‘development’ issue
• Encourage institutional innovation
• Orient meteorological services towards achieving development outcomes
• Strengthen research in support of climate risk management
• Promote systematic knowledge sharing
