From training to transformation: co-producing sustainable early warning competence in West Africa
Operational numerical weather prediction in Sub-Saharan Africa remains fragile despite increasing availability of models and data. A key limiting factor is the limited operational and institutional capacity of National Meteorological Services to operate, assess, adapt, and sustain forecasting chains within routine operations for early warning systems. Short-term, tool-oriented training initiatives often fail to address this […]
The added value of the process in climate services co-production: Lessons from Niger
Climate services are recognized as an essential tool for sustainable development in strategic and climate-sensitive sectors. In developing countries, particularly in Africa, the literature offers successful examples of application, especially in the agricultural sector, which is dramatically sensitive to climate variability and change. While, initially, particular emphasis was placed on the outcomes of these services […]

Competencies based innovative learning solutions for co-development of climate services in West Africa
In developing countries, and particularly in West Africa, the role of Climate Services (CS) for sustainable development is growing thanks to wide spreading collaboration among European institutions, including National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) research centers, universities, and homologue local institutions. Operationally, the implementation of CSs in developing countries is mainly pivoted on NMHS, which, […]
