Project description
Co-innovating tailored climate services for African livelihoods
Food security serves as the cornerstone of billions of livelihoods worldwide, particularly in African rural and urban settings. However, the intensification of weather and climate risks presents a formidable challenge. Existing climate and agricultural services often operate in silos, failing to address the interconnected needs of communities. The EU-funded SAFE4ALL project tackles this issue by providing tailored climate services in Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. By engaging local communities, municipalities and cities, it aims to build resilience, enhance food security and manage migration. SAFE4ALL fosters collaboration between governments, academia and civil society to develop scalable climate solutions. With a user-centred approach, it seeks to integrate climate information with agricultural practices, promoting sustainable livelihoods and social safety nets.
Objective
Agriculture is the foundation of the livelihoods of billions of people worldwide, including African rural and urban households, farming communities, and cities. However, weather and climate risks have increased, creating a need for better access to climate and weather information, soil water management, insurance, and other climate-agricultural services. Although some services exist, they are often separated and follow a top-down information provision that operates on a national scale. SAFE4ALL aims to address the interconnected issues of climate change, food security, ecosystem and disaster management, and migration in Africa by providing user-centred climate services. It will innovate and bundle affordable, and scalable services that include location-specific information to meet the needs of end-users in Kenya, Ghana and Zimbabwe. Three co-creation case studies will be organized in these vulnerable African countries, engaging with small-scale farming communities, municipalities, and cities. SAFE4ALL will coordinate efforts from governments, civil society, academia, and international organizations to mobilize the capacity of end-users, build food security and resilience, promote sustainable agriculture, and provide social safety nets to affected localities. Specific objectives include establishing a collaborative, co-creation, and engagement platform for the prioritization and co-development of needs-based climate services, identifying adaptation challenges, requirements, and enabling factors and complementing policies in adapting to the wider socio-economic environment, and exploring and harnessing existing services to improve the uptake and effectiveness of climate services and develop sustainable business and implementation models for services. The outcomes aim to manage migration to cities by ensuring that communities are better equipped to adapt and cope with the impacts of climate change while enhancing food security in a rapidly changing world.
