The Naivasha workshop was part of a wider regional effort under the WISER Africa programme, bringing together national meteorological services, Kenya National Disaster Operation Center (NDOC), policymakers, civil society, journalists, and private sector actors from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi. The aim was to strengthen how climate services are produced, communicated, and applied across the Greater Horn of Africa.
Throughout the week, discussions returned to a shared challenge: climate information exists, but too often remains trapped in institutional or sectoral silos. Beyond releasing forecasts, gaps persist in interpretation, access, and trust; gaps that can delay preparedness and increase vulnerability.
