Integrating climate information into development programmes for community action in Liberia
BRAC International and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT trained frontline staff in Kolahun and Karnplay, Liberia, in July 2026, equipping them to integrate climate information into programmes that help farming communities build resilience.
Climate information has enormous potential to help farmers make informed decisions and build resilience to a changing climate. However, its value depends not only on the accuracy of weather forecasts but also on how effectively that information is translated into practical action.
To help bridge the gap between climate science and practical action, BRAC International is partnering with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT to implement the Climate Information Services Pilot across Liberia, Uganda, and Tanzania. The project is taking a multi-pronged approach to strengthening climate resilience by building the capacity of BRAC frontline staff in Liberia and Uganda to communicate and apply climate information within existing programmes, while strengthening institutional capacity in Tanzania through collaboration with the Tanzania Meteorological Authority to improve the interpretation, contextualization and co-production of climate information.
The training workshops held in Kolahun, Lofa County, and Karnplay, Nimba County, in July 2026 marked an important milestone in the Liberia component of the pilot. They introduced an innovative, people-centred approach to Climate Information Services training that emphasized practical learning, collaboration and continuous adaptation to participants' needs.
