The Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project is an initiative that will enhance access to climate information services and validated climate-smart agriculture technologies in Africa.
AICCRA aims to support farmers and livestock keepers to better anticipate climate-related events and take preventative actions, with better access to climate advisories linked to information about effective response measures.
Innovations
CIMMYT trains Ethiopian national partners in crop monitoring and yield forecasting as part of AICCRA’s effort to improve climate information services.
Climate adaptation and mitigation
There is no universal model for successfully delivering climate-smart agriculture. But the AICCRA experience in Ethiopia shows how engaging changemakers can reveal effective, inclusive, and localized ways to make farming communities more resilient to climate change.
