Hosted at @ILRI 🇪🇹, the training brings together experts from universities and hydrometeorological agencies in the greater East African region to develop technical skills in research and operations.
Experts from @icpac_igad, @KITKarlsruhe, @uni__augsburg, @UniCalPortale, and @NORCEresearch support the week-long WRF-Hydro model training. This workshop marks a significant milestone in addressing hydrometeorological hazards, reducing risks, and increasing resilience in East Africa.

📢Flood forecasting is crucial for building #climateresilience as it enables proactive measures to mitigate damage, protect communities, and ensure sustainable development in the face of increasing climate variability and extreme weather events.
That is why today, AICCRA has partnered with @icpac_igad and @ConferEU to kick off a regional training on @WRFHydro for improved streamflow modeling and forecasting in East Africa🌍to enhance flash flood warnings⚠️📡
Amidst a week of climate-related talks and partnerships in Africa hosted by 🇰🇪, AICCRA's @Teferi_D represented at a panel during the launching of @ClimDevAfrica Phase II.
He emphasized AICCRA's support in climate forecasting tools and NFWWCS, among others.
#ClimateSmartAfrica
Great to see that @CGIARAfrica has contributed to the Early Warning for All Africans Initiative. Key message from the launch at the @AfClimateSummit :more resources need to be mobilized for early warning in Africa and these resources can contribute to building resilience
🚨🌧️ #EarlyWarning & climate information systems help to build resilience, protect livelihoods and save lives.
Learn how @icpac_igad, AICCRA & others are working to increase access to these sytems in the Greater Horn of Africa. #EW4ALL

📰 A feature in @The_EastAfrican argues "resilient agriculture has been identified as one the best solutions for agricultural sustainability, climate change adaptation & farmer empowerment in #Africa".
In it, AICCRA & partners explore these topics:

At the ILRI/CGIAR one day "Take it to the farmer" workshop at Radison Blue Addis. I will also present my & @addisyimer's paper that we did with ILRI/CIGAR Africa on "Macroeconomic Impact of Climate Change" (impact on growth, food& genreal inflation, agr exports& AGR value added).
'' All our agricultural output efforts are in a growing climate crisis. I urge everyone attending this event today, and the different aspects being discussed by everyone, to bundle the ideas to help solve the challenges #smallholder farmers face'' Dr. Namukolo Covic of @ILRI.
Building on a national platform led by @MoA_Ethiopia and @EthiopianATA on 'Shaping Agriculture for Greater Impact in Ethiopia', AICCRA🇪🇹 is working on building livelihoods and resilience of smallholder farmers under a changing climate in Ethiopia.
