Abstract
The aim was to identify challenges and opportunities for effective understanding, communication and use of weather and climate information in semi-arid regions (SAR) of Africa and Asia. Radios and mobile phones are the preferred channels for communicating weather and climate information. However, the variability in level of trust in the climate information that is being communicated affects both how it is understood and used. This paper reports on the findings of the first phase of the research.
