Abstract
The Climate Information Services Research Initiative (CISRI) was designed to enhance understanding of the user end of the climate information services system. CISRI investigated the factors that impact access and use of climate information services, and applied new methodologies for strengthening the effectiveness of CIS systems, as well as evaluating CIS effectiveness in SSA. Led by Mercy Corps, CISRI drew on the expertise of its consortium partners: the Humanitarian Response and Development Lab at Clark University (HURDL), the International Research Institute for Climate and Society at Columbia University (IRI), CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), Practical Action, and Catholic Relief Services (CRS).
