Climate Information Services and Food security in Ghana: Joint Policy Recommendations from WATERAPPS and EVOCA projects

 

 

 

Policy brief highlights


• Integrating indigenous and scientific data in climate forecast provision can enhance accuracy and usefulness of forecast.


• Collaborative governance in climate information provision should involve both formal and informal actors especially at the local level to enhance information uptake and use.


• The current high level of mobile penetration in rural areas is an opportunity for designing mobile based climate information systems anchored on citizen support systems.


• Farmer adaptation is as much about uncertainty and lead times and not just availability and access to information.
