Resumen
Descripción
The Livestock Water and Pasture Monitoring and Early Warning System (LWPM-EWS) strengthened climate resilience among pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia’s Borana Zone, Oromia Region, and the Somali Regional State. Implemented with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research Institute, Regional Research Institutes, NGOs and development partners, the 2024–2025 initiative integrates near-real-time monitoring, seasonal forecasts, and community dissemination tools—Community Information Centers (CICs), SMS alerts, and radio—to enable anticipatory drought responses, improve resource governance, and support gender-inclusive, evidence-based adaptation through Human-Centered Design.
