Abstract

The meeting report covers project updates, outcomes, presentations, and progress reports. Climate change and meteorological officers, farmers (from each study site), extension workers, and researchers were presenters. The project facilitates interaction and learning, whereby information from different sources can be shared and used in effective ways by stakeholders in agricultural innovation systems to better adapt to climate change and variability. Research is framed around the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) of Malawi and Tanzania, targeting farming communities in two contrasting sites in each country, together with local, district, national, regional and international stakeholders. (Some annexes in Malawi/Chichewa language).
