The African Centre of Meteorological Application for Development (ACMAD) and The Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance climate information services for African farmers and communities.
This partnership brings together two organizations with complementary strengths and continental reach. ACMAD stands as the only continental climate research center recognized by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) with an Africa-wide mandate, providing critical guidance to national weather services across the continent. The Alliance, with its global research portfolio and substantial presence in Africa—including 600 researchers and policy experts across 19 African countries—brings deep expertise in agricultural biodiversity and food systems transformation.
