The Eastern Africa Grain Council (EAGC) with support from the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), and in partnership with the IGAD Climate Prediction and Application Centre (ICPAC), Kenya National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), Uganda has been implementing a project aimed at creating a climate resilient community of grain stakeholders that use climate information to increase grain production, reduce post-harvest losses and improve market access for food security and improved livelihoods.
The project was premised on the fact that post-harvest losses in grain is exacerbated by lack of user-friendly information and predictions on climate and weather-based information leading to inability to make appropriate decisions, limited information on climate change mitigation and adaptation practices to assist in post-harvest management, and lack of knowledge on climate financing to assist in acquisition of climate smart technologies by actors within the grain value chain.
The project has since come to an end, and EAGC in partnership with CDKN hosted a virtual project closeout workshop on 20th April 2021,to disseminate the results realized during the project implementation period.
