FOCUS-AFRICA PROJECT

Through the work of our project partners and strategic partnerships between European and SADC organisations, FOCUS-Africa builds upon past and ongoing related projects and advances the way climate services are developed and used throughout the supply chain of end-users... FOCUS-Africa brings together 16 strong partners across Europe and Africa. The project consortium unites an excellent mix of research institutions, international organisations involved in implementing the Climate Services Information System pillar of GFCS, service providers, industry end-users and social scientists to address the full-value chain of climate services delivery... In order to illustrate how the application of new climate forecasts, projections can maximise socio-economic benefits in the Southern Africa region and potentially in the whole of Africa, our partners have identified eight case studies focusing on four sectors: water, energy, agriculture and infrastructure.
