| description |
In accordance with the goals of the
innovation grant, World Bank staff undertook a study tour to
Turkey to observe Turkey's innovative system to deliver
farmer-focused weather alerts by cell phone. The regional
priority on climate change adaptation highlights an
adaptation mechanism that has emerged with broad support:
upgrade and dissemination of spatially-resolved, accurate
weather forecasts and robust mechanisms to place this
information in the hands of farmers on a timely basis. The
objective of this innovation grant-funded activity was to
bring Europe and Central Asia (ECA) staff up to date on the
emerging good practice in Turkey, providing an opportunity
for staff working on the Central Asia portfolio to discuss
with Turkish experts and colleagues how the model could be
applied in Central Asia. A second phase of the activity will
address the issue that, while Turkey generates its own
high-resolution weather forecasts, the bank's Central
Asian clients do not. The activity therefore set out to
identify practical options and methods to adapt the Turkish
good practice by using publicly available forecasts from
international sources. The applicability of such global
forecasts to the purpose of providing weather alerts to
farmers in Central Asia will be reviewed and tested in the field. |
