Description:
The overall aim of the project is to enhance the scientific and technical capacity for using climate information by stakeholders in drought management and agricultural early warning systems. The project will explicitly address: Impacts detection; Stakeholders engagement; and Evaluation of adaptation methods. By analyzing the current situation (impacts detection) the project will enhance the ability of the agriculture and water resources sectors to interact with and respond to drought and climate information in preparation for the projected range of climate changes through the 21st century. The project will enhance the adaptive capacity in current and future conditions by synthesizing the lessons learned in the region.
