Climate Risk Management in Agricultural Extension

A two-week training of trainers (ToT) workshop was implemented from June 7-18, 2021, in Adama, Ethiopia by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) of the Columbia Climate School and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) in East Africa. The workshop, which was organized as part of the World Bank’s Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project and in close collaboration with the Adapting Agriculture to Climate Today, for Tomorrow (ACToday) Columbia World Project, brought together various professionals from the Ministry of Agriculture, Agricultural Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) colleges, the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), and the National Meteorological Agency (NMA) to pilot a four-module curriculum aimed at improving climate risk management in agricultural extension.
