Hosted at @ILRI 🇪🇹, the training brings together experts from universities and hydrometeorological agencies in the greater East African region to develop technical skills in research and operations. Experts from @icpac_igad, @KITKarlsruhe, @uni__augsburg, @UniCalPortale, and @NORCEresearch support the week-long WRF-Hydro model training. This workshop marks a significant milestone in addressing hydrometeorological hazards, reducing risks, and increasing resilience in East Africa. Read in-depth about the model through our recently co-produced paper 👉bit.ly/WRF-Hydro

📢Flood forecasting is crucial for building #climateresilience as it enables proactive measures to mitigate damage, protect communities, and ensure sustainable development in the face of increasing climate variability and extreme weather events. That is why today, AICCRA has partnered with @icpac_igad and @ConferEU to kick off a regional training on @WRFHydro for improved streamflow modeling and forecasting in East Africa🌍to enhance flash flood warnings⚠️📡

Great to see that @CGIARAfrica has contributed to the Early Warning for All Africans Initiative. Key message from the launch at the @AfClimateSummit :more resources need to be mobilized for early warning in Africa and these resources can contribute to building resilience
