Well-functioning climate services can play a critical role in managing the risks of a changing and variable climate, helping decision-makers understand, anticipate, and manage climate-related risks across a range of time scales, from days to decades.
The design and implementation of effective climate information services (CIS) requires understanding the extent to which they impact the decisions and lives of those who use them.
To help manage the far-reaching risks of a changing and variable climate in Africa, investments in climate services must simultaneously meet context-specific needs and have a broad scale impact. However, making this investment work for smallholder farmers, at scale, has been challenging.

USAID believes that gender equality and women’s empowerment are fundamental for the realization of unalienable human rights—that is, rights inherent in all persons and that are universal and non-transferable—and key to effective and sustainable development outcomes. For societies to thrive, women and girls must have equal and safe access to resources, such as education, health care, capital, technology, water and sanitation services, land, markets, and justice.
