1/ 🇸🇳 SENEGAL At the start of the 2024 rainy season in Thiél (Linguère), Bousso Ndiaye made a different choice.
Instead of relying on habit, she followed climate advice shared in Pulaar via radio and replayed on her phone.
A small shift. A big difference. #AICCRA
4/ This story goes beyond Thiél.
Across Louga, Thiès, Kaffrine, Kaolack & Tambacounda, farmers are using climate info + improved practices to reduce risk and improve yields.
Accessible. Local. Actionable.
.@CGIARAfrica's legacy is not just innovation. It is stronger institutions, regional collaboration, digital tools, and practical systems that help farmers respond to climate risks and improve food security.
