| description | Climate change presents significant challenges to agriculture in Eastern and Southern Africa, a region heavily reliant on rainfed farming systems. To enhance resilience and productivity, agricultural experts need a strong foundation in climate systems and using Climate Information Services (CIS) effectively. A capacity-building training workshop aimed at equipping agricultural experts in Southern and Eastern Africa with the knowledge and skills to tackle climate change challenges effectively was held in Gaborone, Botswana, from September 16-20, 2024. The training workshop engaged a total of total of 57 participants from 18 countries, including 25% women.
This regional training workshop comprehensively introduced climate basics, climate information services, early warning systems, disaster risk management, and climate change impacts. Additionally, the workshop allowed the participants to access and use different tools, such as East Africa Drought Watch, Agriculture Monitoring for Eastern Africa, and East Africa Hazards Watch. |
