The need for improved understanding/ prediction of the climate system, provision and use of climate information to increase resilience in vulnerable sectors of society and economy is recognized as a major challenge in the process to combat climate change.
The Project for Climate Services for Increased Resilience in Sahel (CSIRS) funded by USAID and Norwegian Refugee Council was developed under the leadership of the Global Framework for Climate Services at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to enable better management of risks and opportunities arising from climate variability and change by strengthening climate services provision capacities of Regional Climate Centres and National Meteorological Services over the Sahel region of Africa.
