Abstract

Key recommendations include expanding observational networks and human resources of the Uganda National Meteorological Authority to support: generation of subcounty-specific seasonal forecasts and agricultural advisories; strengthening district-level governance for streamlining climate change adaptation activities; enhancing the Climate Change Department’s e-Library with localized climate change content; engaging mobile network operators to co-finance expansion of a climate information system; increasing the role of agricultural research organizations; and conducting further research to assess ways for scaling up ICT-based climate and agricultural information services. Research indicated that the use of timely and locally relevant information reduced smallholders’ crop losses by 6% to 37%.
