Users and Producers of CIS in sub-Saharan Africa: Exploring Roles and Needs

Wednesday 28th February, 2:30 – 3:30 GMT We invite you to a joint webinar hosted by BRACED and the USAID Learning Agenda on Climate Services. This webinar will address two key emerging issues in the field of climate information services (CIS): 1) What we know and don’t know about the users of CIS and their climate information needs; and 2) What role NGOs, as increasingly important actors in the field, can play in the production, communication and uptake of that information. Findings from two papers will be shared:

• Identifying Climate Information Services Users and Their Needs in sub-Saharan Africa: A Learning Agenda, which was written under the Mercy Corps-led, USAID-funded Climate Information Services Research Initiative.
• Climate services for resilience: the changing roles of NGOs in Burkina Faso, which was supported by the DFID-funded BRACED programme.

Participants will explore a proposed learning agenda for identifying and filling knowledge gaps related to CIS users and their needs, and the role of NGOs in meeting those needs. All BRACED Webinars can be accessed through: www.braced.org/discussions

Speakers: Edward Carr and Blane Harvey
