Description du projet
Co-innover des services climatiques sur mesure pour assurer les moyens de subsistance en Afrique
La sécurité alimentaire est la pierre angulaire de la subsistance de milliards d’individus dans le monde, en particulier dans les zones rurales et urbaines d’Afrique. Or, l’intensification des risques météorologiques et climatiques constitue un défi de taille. Les services climatiques et agricoles existants fonctionnent souvent en vase clos et ne répondent pas aux besoins interconnectés des communautés. Le projet SAFE4ALL, financé par l’UE, s’attaque à ce problème en fournissant des services climatiques sur mesure au Ghana, au Kenya et au Zimbabwe. En impliquant les communautés locales, les municipalités et les villes, il vise à renforcer la résilience, à améliorer la sécurité alimentaire et à gérer les migrations. SAFE4ALL encourage la collaboration entre les gouvernements, les universités et la société civile pour développer des solutions climatiques évolutives. Grâce à une approche centrée sur l’utilisateur, il cherche à intégrer les informations climatiques aux pratiques agricoles, en promouvant des moyens de subsistance durables et des filets de sécurité sociale.
Objectif
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.
