🌽 Community of Practice Conference Nairobi 🌽 Aurelie Walker and Rachel Duggan are in Nairobi at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). They have been sharing the work we are leading on behalf of the Jameel Observatory. Working with the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), Maanshiil Consulting, iShamba Limited, and Omeva Consulting the project seeks to improve communication methods between early warning providers and agricultural communities. The aim is to improve responses to warnings, allowing action to avoid crop failures. Aurelie gave an update on project progress and next steps. Rachel described how these international organisations came together to form a unique team thanks to the impact of Data for Children Collaborative. The event allowed them to form new relationships absorb knowledge from Pastoralist community leaders that will strengthen the project.    #agritech #foodresilience

🌽 Harvesting Resilience🌽 We are delighted to be leading an international collaboration on behalf of the Jameel Observatory. The project is looking to tackle the disconnect between food security, natural disaster early warning systems, and communities in the Horn of Africa.
