About Retreat Workshop
<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

Climate changes are impacting all vital socio-economical sector in Africa. Many exposed communities cannot withstand these impacts causing a lot of loss and damages, the best adaptation approach is to anticipate on potential climate shocks. Building our preparedness through a strong Early Warning System (EWS) accessible to vulnerable communities has therefore become paramount. In this context ACMAD wants to design a strategy that empowers nations and communities to develop their resilience through: better data and climate information, innovative communication mechanism, awareness, trainings and a co-constructed
system.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Addressing these challenges requires stronger partnership and more efficient climate service institutions that integrate the needs of all key stakeholders into their vision and action plans.
Furthermore, ACMAD as WMO’s Regional Climate Centre for Africa, plays a key role in
providing strategic climate information, advisories, guidance and capacity building program to its member states. In response to this urgent need, in October 2023, ACMAD has issued a \u201cDRAFT STRATEGIC PLAN 2024-2027\u201d declining its vision building on and updating its previous Strategic Plan (2020\u20132023) to better align with evolving African priorities and relevant international frameworks. Through the implementation of the Intra-ACP Climate Services and Related Applications (ClimSA) programme since July 2021, ACMAD, has achieved significant milestones in enhancing climate information services across Africa, with mainly focuses on strengthening the climate services value chain to support sectors like agriculture, health, and disaster risk reduction. and supporting the AUC program as well. The AUC has approved the no cost extension to finalize the pending activities.
In spirit of improving Governance, and monitoring and evaluation approach, ACMAD is organizing a Strategic Retreat Workshop on Monday, 16th of February 2026, in Niamey, Hotel Noom.<\/p>

This workshop aims to review and validate ACMAD-ClimSA major achievement and plan the pending activities according the no-cost extension for 2026 to ensure smooth implementation, and align activities with current ACMAD strategic plan, ensuring its understanding and adoption by all the staff.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
