Abstract

Transitioning from climate information services (CIS) pilot programmes to scaled up systems is possible when scaling up is mainstreamed in the project design stage, along with a clear financial model for sustainability, and includes multiple stakeholders who identify and engage with pilot-project champions and intermediaries. New communication mechanisms such as information and communication technologies (ICTs) help to create and support effective partnerships that enable knowledge co-production. This paper explores the key constraints to, and enablers of, scaling up CIS by drawing on case studies from research, policy and practice in Africa and South Asia.
