An experiment is beginning in Rwanda to test whether farmingcommunities are more likely to adapt their agricultural practices to cope with climate change if the government provides timely weather forecasts.
The African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) is using the Tracking Adaptation and Measuring Development (TAMD) framework to show whether providing this information, which is based on climate research, will curb crop and livestock losses by encouraging agricultural adaptations that are more resilient to weather extremes.
