Really a pleasure to launch our DiGES project today. DiGES supports fruit and vegetables production and consumption via climate adaptation. Support from @SciforAfrica. Led by @AlcadeCS, @wtocarr and Aziz from @nana_gambia. Thanks to all our stakeholders.
In collaboration with @nana_gambia & @BiovIntCIAT_eng, we launched the Diversifying Gambian Diets for Health & Environmental Sustainability (DiGES) project
The 24-month initiative supported by @SciforAfrica will boost production of underutilised crops resilient to #ClimateChange

So the global goal on adaptation has become a sticky issue at #COP28 as Parties seek to find consensus on how to raise the ambition in adaptation and finance.
It can be easy to jump to the assumption that we just need more common metrics or better data.

So instructive to hear from @CGIARAfrica & @BiovIntCIAT_eng's @AlcadeCS at #WCRPOSC23 today on the importance of capacity building through regional institutions like @AgrhymetInfos, which has now cascaded high-need training on #NextGen forecasting to 17 West African countries!👏

We're happy to be at #WCRPOSC2023 with @climatesociety to share from our work in climate services and capacity building to support smallholder farmers and national meteorological organizations in #Africa.
🇷🇼 Stay tuned for more from Kigali!

A new study, contributed to by AICCRA's @AlcadeCS, among others, shows global #ClimateChange adaptation actions are still too uncoordinated.
➡️ But AICCRA's 'research for development' is helping to bridge some of the gaps between science & action.
