Progress:
ACMAD operates the Regional Climate Centre (RCC) for all Africa since 2015, and the Continental Multihazard Advisory Centre (CMHAC) since October 2022. These centres support NMHSs with advisories and climate information services for early warning and adaptation to climate change.

Challenge:
2023 locations of storms and cyclones were anticipated but we are still challenged by substantial disaster losses because early warnings lack potential impact outlooks and related anticipatory actions.
4
Solutions:
The priorities to reduce losses and damages include better interfaces between meteorologists and disaster risk reduction communities and strengthening of Disaster Risk Reduction frameworks under the Seindai agreement. Mandatory ad-hoc briefings ahead and debriefing post disasters to share lessons and improve stakeholders coordination.
