Abstract
This factsheet provides information on the USAID supported Climate Information Services Research Initiative (CISRI).
CISRI aims to 1) improve understanding of, and access to, knowledge on the effectiveness of climate information services (CIS) programming, 2) produce evidence and tools to improve understanding of the factors and structures that influence CIS delivery, uptake, use and effectiveness, 3) produce innovative evaluation methodologies and evidence on the degree of effectiveness of CIS, and 4) research, design and implement a plan for the dissemination, uptake and application of research, synthesis, evidence, and knowledge gaps.
The project strategy is organized around four integrated activities that will be implemented within the three-year project lifespan. These include three research streams in the first two years, and an uptake and application of learning work stream, which will be active throughout. CISRI is implemented by a consortium of members including Mercy Corps, International Research Institute for Climate and Society, The World Agroforestry Centre, The Humanitarian Response and Development Lab, Catholic Relief Services and Practical Action Consulting.
