| dc.description.abstract | The Intergovernmental Authority
on Development (IGAD) Climate
Prediction and Applications Centre
(ICPAC) is a specialized regional
centre charged with the responsibility
of climate monitoring, prediction,
early warning and applications for
the reduction of climate-related
risks, including those associated
with climate variability and change
in support of national/regional
poverty alleviation and sustainable
development strategies.
This is achieved through capacitybuilding of both meteorologists and
the users’ specific sectors; mapping of
climate hazards; climate monitoring,
prediction and early warning;
downscaling of climate products;
development and application of the
climate tools required by various
climate-sensitive sectors, among
others, in order to reduce sectorspecific climate risks. This article
presents some of the lessons learned
and experiences gathered from ICPAC
since 1989 in the successful use of
climate Information in the decision-
making process. | en |
