Building the systems to scale integrated Digital Climate Advisory Services
The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, convened government, researchers and private sector partners in Nairobi to scale Kenya's digital climate advisory services using the CGIAR Innovation Package and Scaling Readiness (IPSR), aiming to sustainably reach 6 million farmers by 2028 through integrated climate advisory systems.
Countries are increasingly recognizing the critical role of climate information and early warning systems in their national climate plans and strategies, putting climate information to good use, strengthening early warning systems, providing sectoral services, planning for future risks and helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Kenya has made significant progress in generating weather and climate information. Forecasts are becoming more accurate, digital platforms are expanding and investments in climate services continue to grow. Yet one question remains: what will it take for these innovations to reach millions of farmers in ways that are coordinated, trusted and sustainable?
That question brought together researchers, government agencies, development partners, private sector actors and digital innovation specialists in Nairobi for a two-day Innovation Package and Scaling Readiness (IPSR) Workshop convened by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT through the CGIAR Scaling for Impact Science Program.
