Innovative public-private partnership ensures access to climate information services-(CIS) for 500,000 farmers and fisherfolks in Senegal

CCAFS worked with national public (ANACIM) and private partners (Jokalante, Meteo-Mbay) in Senegal to design and disseminate tailored climate information services (CIS) through SMS and voice messages to support farm management decision making by farmers and to warn artisanal fisherfolks about risky weather extreme events at sea. Following successful dissemination of to 500,000 beneficiaries, CCAFS developed 4 potential business models which were then validated by Senegalese actors, in order to sustain CIS-use. USAID already funded the test/validation/implementation of two models.
