dc.description.abstractMeteorological data is critical for assessing climatic hazards. However, 30 years of civil war destroyed meteorological and hydrological facilities in Angola: in 1974 there were 500 weather stations, but by 2002, only 7 remained operational (less than 2%). As a result, there is a critical lack of climate data in the country. In the coastal cities of Angola, the intensity and variability of climatic events such as rainstorms and floods have more than doubled. Because of the 30-year climate information-gap, the project explored alternative resources for reconstructing lost data. Participatory methods developed by this project contributed to better management of public water access points.en
