Project introduction
VITO develops CLIMTAGTM, a web-based dashboard offering tailored climate information for the past and the future, including information on the onset of the rainy season, for over 20 countries across the African continent. Stakeholders, including national authorities and experts, are involved in the creation process and supported with a ready-to-use tool, insights in barriers for effective climate adaptation and for acquisition of International Climate Finance, and recommendations to overcome these barriers.
