dc.description.abstractThe Climate Change Adaptation and ICT (CHAI) project developed an information and communication system employing a mix of technologies to facilitate gathering, storing, analyzing, and sharing climate and weather-related data from fixed weather stations and market outlets. Drought is the major hazard, and communities suffer from severe water shortages for domestic and agricultural use. The project disseminated localized seasonal forecasts, weekly local livestock and crop market data, low-cost rainwater harvesting techniques, and drought and flood coping mechanisms. Short message service (SMS) broadcasts were targeted to specific farmer groups, community leaders, district technical officers, and politicians from local councils.en
