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.application/pdfenCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONWEATHER REPORTSRURAL COMMUNITIESAGRICULTURAL METEOROLOGYICTCONFERENCE REPORTSPILOT PROJECTSFOOD SECURITYFARMING SYSTEMSFrom pilots to systems : barriers and enablers to scaling up the use of climate information services in smallholder farming communitiesCARIAA Working Paper no. 3Synthesis Report
