  3. A BRIEF ON ACMAD Enhance African countries / SNMHs capability to understand, anticipate and manage the impacts of weather and climate fluctuations to support the achievement of sustainable development and poverty reduction Provide advanced notice on potential weather and climate related hazards and information for the implementation of policies for vulnerability reduction and adaptation to climate variability and change Improve forecasts and provide user oriented information & products Consolidate weather / climate monitoring efforts in Africa better understand the African weather systems (monsoon) Facilitate exchange of information, experience and expertise; and strength sustainable institutional mechanisms Making weather, climate and environment resources for sustainable development Vision • 1987 :UN ECA & WMO • Mandate covers the 53 African States. • Niamey NIGER since 1992. • Run by a team of experts from all sub regions

  4. Objectives: 1- • Challenge of Climate Change & Development • Climate resilience

  5. ClimDev-Africa components • Climate Change and Desertification Unit, • African Climate Policy Centre, • ClimDev Special Fund

  6. Expected results • solid science and observationalinfrastructure • strong working partnerships • knowledge frameworks

  7. Areas of activities • Climate information, • Quality analysis for decision support, • Informed decision-making
