We review the use and value of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub-SaharanAfrica (SSA), with a view to understanding and exploiting opportunities to realize more of its potential benefits. Interaction between the atmosphere and underlying oceans provides the basis for probabilisti...


Hansen, JamesMason SJSun LTall, Arame[Review of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa]Review of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa

The review assesses the empirical knowledge base on gender-based differences in access, use and benefits from rural climate services to analyse gender equality challenges and identify pathways for making climate services more responsive to the needs of rural women and men. While existing research...

This study estimated the economic value of agricultural climate services for strengthening the resilience of smallholder farmers to climate variability and risks in Ethiopia. Using a choice experiment approach, the study introduced a hypothetical package of improved climate services to 600 random...

RiskView is a tool developed by the World Food Programme (WFP) to translate weather data (real-time and historical) and other spatial information (e.g., crops, drought risk, population, etc.) into food security needs and response costs. It serves as a swift way of estimating costs in advance of f...

We review the use and value of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with a view to understanding and exploiting opportunities to realize more of its potential benefits. Interaction between the atmosphere and underlying oceans provides the basis for probabilist...


Hansen, JamesMason SSun LTall, Arame[Review of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub- Saharan Africa]Review of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub- Saharan Africa

The way we produce food must adapt to a variable and changing climate. And key to achieving this is to improve the link between climate information and agricultural practices, especially those of smallholder farmers in developing countries. ‘Agro-climate tools’ do just that and some are introduce...


Hansen, JamesCoffey, Kevin[Agro-climate tools for a new climate-smart agriculture]Agro-climate tools for a new climate-smart agriculture

Understanding and predicting Ethiopia’s complex climate at multiple scales with enough detail and certainty to make critical food-security decisions at local levels requires timely, quality assured weather, climate and agricultural data at a high spatial and temporal resolution. The Enhancing Nat...
