Climate information services in Mali in the context of climate
2022
Özdoğan, Mutlu | Govind, Ajit
The purpose of this report is to develop a proposal for climate information services in Mali in the context of climate change to help develop effective risk management and adaptation strategies in the agricultural sector. While the concept of climate information services in Mali is not new and there are a number of successful examples of such services in the country, the idea here is to contextualize climate services for risk management under an increasingly volatile climate. First, national meteorological services must engage in further transforming information from an increasingly volatile climate into targeted, user-specific, and easy-to-digest products and advisory services that have been shown to offer a greater value to individuals and the society at large. Second, Mali and the Sahelian countries in general must foster participation from the private sector for effective and sustainable production of climate information, customization of sector-specific information and dissemination.
