Capacity Building Opportunities for Climate Risk Management in Senegal por Diop, Mbaye, Grossi, Amanda, Hansen, James, Konte, Oumar, Lecuyer, Anais, Tall, Thierno, Trzaska, Sylwia, Whitbread, Anthony M., Worou, Nadine

“…To inform planning towards AICCRA-Senegal capacity development objectives, this paper reviews capacity gaps that currently limit the farm-level benefits of climate services in Senegal, and presents opportunities for competency-based curriculum and training to strengthen capacity to incorporate climate knowledge into agricultural decision making from farm to national scales. Although Senegal has a strong foundation for agricultural climate services, current delivery strategies leave a gap in farmers’ capacity to use probabilistic information at a climate variability time scale. …”
