  1. Informed Decision Making AAP Country Conference “Celebrating our Successes” 12th - 16th November 2012 Dakar, Senegal

  2. Background • This session will focus on the actions and achievements of countries related to the generation, analysis and sharing of information and the effectiveness to inform decision-making. • This will include experiences related to climate information generation, vulnerability assessments and mapping, as well as socio-cultural analysis and how this data can strengthen evidence-based decisions.

  3. Content Part I: • Requirements for informed decision making – what you are expected to achieve under your AAP country ProDoc • What you have been able to achieve to date – Drawing on 3 to 4 country examples on key deliverables (and how you did it),lessons learnedand sustainability • Breakout group discussions Part II: • Plenary discussion on outcome of breakout group • What you are expected to achieve from the perspective of IRTSC • Sustainability of established systems • Completion of country matrices

  4. Part I

  5. AAP ProDoc Requirements for Informed Decision Making Access to the best available data and information to support dynamic adaptation planning and decision making mechanisms Country Processes (ProDoc): • Analysis, design and implementation of your country project activities (AWP). • Access, collect and analyze data on climate change and its impacts. • Build your national capacities to establish and use e-infrastructure (ICT, data, tools & network of institutions) to inform decision making

  6. Discussion Points • What information were you seeking? How was this need determined? • What strategies/tools did you employ? • What results did you achieve? • What lessons did you learn?

  7. Country Specific Presentations • Congo • Mauritius • Ghana

  8. Breakout Group Presentations

  9. Part II:Sustainability (Support Beyond AAP)

  10. AAP ProDoc Requirements for Informed Decision Making Access to the best available data and information to support dynamic adaptation planning and decision making mechanisms Country Processes (ProDoc): Analysis, design and implementation of your country project activities (AWP). Access, collect and analyze data on climate change and its impacts. Build your national capacities to establish and use e-infrastructure (ICT, data, tools & network of institutions) to inform decision making

  12. Informing the Decision Making Process with Robust Data (Process 2) Integrated Decision Making Framework

  13. Integrated Early Warning and Decision Support Systems (Process 3) Decision Support Tools for Multi-sectoral Adaptation Planning (MDGs and PRS) Deployment of Early Warning Systems (automated weather stations and remote-sensing) • Tier 0: A central computer that is large enough to host considerable amount of data located at International Centre for Theoretical Physics (AAP partner) • Tier 1: Consist of four African Regional Centres with capacitylarge enough to guarantee that combined data created and stored is similar to that of Tier 0. • Tier 2: Consist of all AAP Countries that will access the infrastructure by means of aninternet - web interface.

  14. Climate Data Management and Computational Infrastructure (Process 3) Tier 1: 4 Regional centres Tier 2: All AAP countries Tier 0: Control Centre Tier 0: Contains all open source data and tools Tier 1: Regional Centres with combined data and tools similar to Tier 0 Tier 2: All AAP countries accessing infrastructure via web interfaces

  15. Capacity Development Community of Practice (Process 1 - 3) • Established network of national & regional problem-solvers, mentors and advisors • Helpdesk to enable rapid response to problem resolution

  16. Foundational Partnerships

  17. Regional and Continental Level Partnerships • IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) • Agriculture, Hydrology, Meteorology Regional Centre (AGRHYMET) • African Centre of Meteorological Application for Development (ACMAD) • African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) • CORDEX-Africa • University of Cape Town’s Climate Systems Analysis Group (UCT CSAG) • African Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs) • Climate for Development in Africa Programme (ClimDev-Africa) through ACPC

  18. Global and National Level Partnerships • National • National Meteorological and Hydrological Services • Disaster Management Authorities, • Government/Public Sector, Private Sector and NGOs • Universities and Research Institutions • Global • International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) • World Meteorological Organisations (WMO) • United Nations Integrated Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN-ISDR) • United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) • WorldBank(WB) • United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

  19. Thank You

  20. Discussion Point 1:Lessons Learned • What were the key initiatives planned under this element of your AAP project? Looking back do you consider that they were the right strategies? • What were the major challenges you were faced with in implementing the strategies? • How did you ensure the link with decision making processes? • How did you overcome these? What would you do differently? • Were there any other major lessons or learnings from this process with regards to ensuring the information generated was informing decision making?

  21. Discussion Point 2: Deliverables • What were the main deliverables/legacies from this work? • In their current state, can these be used as a tool to inform decision making at the policy and planning levels? If not why?

  22. Discussion Point 3: Sustainability • What do you consider to be the critical next steps that are required to build on and sustain the successes to date? • Are steps already in place to ensure that the implemented activities can be sustained beyond AAP (e.g. the right people are trained, the decision makers are aware of the information being generated and analysed) • What options do you have available to you to undertake these next steps post-AAP (both with additional funding and without additional funding?
