The programme aims to strengthen the climate resilience of 8 targeted countries (all members of Intergovernmental Authority on Development) to the climate change impacts of extreme rainfall events, extreme droughts and floods that can be of transboundary nature and impact several countries at the same time. Through the establishment of improved early warning and climate information dissemination systems at the regional level and its integration with the already existing national climate information systems, the proposed programme will build climate resilience of the vulnerable communities in the Greater Horn of Africa region.
