Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF)
Weather and Climate data as cornerstone for safeguarding livelihoods of Chad's communities 🎯 Kicking off with the SOFF Investment Phase, the Meteorological Office of Chad, Agence Nationale de la Météorologie (ANAM), steps up to improve surface weather and climate observations. 🤝 The article includes in-depth interviews with our partners Programme Alimentaire Mondial as the Implementing Entity and GeoSphere Austria as the Peer Advisor to better understand the challenges in implementing SOFF investments and the importance of weather and climate data for Chadian communities. 📈 These observations are critical for enhancing Chad’s national weather forecasts. Access to truthful and up-to-date observations is very important for adapting to climate change and better estimating its effect on primordial economic sectors, such as agriculture. Many thanks to Jesse Mason, Ahmat Younous Abdel-lathif, Abdoulaye Harou, Hagar Ibrahim, Mirella (Milli) Cooper, Dr. Robert Paul Bachofer, Giora Gershtein, Delia Arnold Arias and Sakine Youssouf Botchomi for their valuable contribution to this article. Keep an eye on SOFF's social media and website; more country stories about SOFF implementation are coming soon! Discover the article here: https://lnkd.in/eHzkcGBC

Social protection - defined as a mix of policies that aim to reduce poverty and inequality - can strengthen the capacity of African states to protect their populations from the economic impacts of climate disasters. This policy briefing by SAIIA’s Jordan Mc Lean makes these recommendations for: · 🫂African policymakers need to invest in social protection policies and integrate this into their national climate responses. · 📝All AU member states should sign the Establishment Agreement of the Africa Risk Capacity Insurance Company. · ℹ️ Lesson sharing and knowledge exchange on established social protection policies. · 💰Policymakers must leverage new financing mechanisms such as the Loss and Damage Fund and Green Climate Fund. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-2R5JSw #climatedisasters #socialprotection #climatechange
