| Sumario: | Meteo Rwanda, in collaboration with the International Research Institute for Climate and
Society (IRI), has implemented the first phase of the ENACTS (Enhancing National Climate
Services) initiative. The ENACTS initiative brings climate knowledge into national decisionmaking
by improving availability, access and use of climate information. Meteo Rwanda
staff has received a number of trainings on the different aspects of generating the datasets and
developing climate information products. However, due to the recent reorganization at Meteo
Rwanda, as well as updates to the tools used to generate historical data and information
products, it was necessary to revise the training and update climate data and information
products. The current activities, which are part of CCAFS-USAID Climate Services for
Agriculture project, had two major components: (1) data quality control and generating
updated climate datasets; and (2) integrating the newly generated datasets into Meteo
Rwanda’s maprooms. Sixteen Meteo Rwanda staff members received six days of training on
data quality control and generating updated climate datasets, and/or 4.5 days of training on
developing and maintaining ENACTS maprooms.
