East and Southern Africa Regional Training On the Improved NextGen Seasonal Forecasting Approach (PyCPT 2)
From October 3-11, an eight-day training of trainers (ToT) targeting East and Southern Africa (ESA) was implemented in Zanzibar, Tanzania by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) of the Columbia Climate School, in close collaboration with the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC), the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), and the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA). The workshop, which was organized as part of the World Bank’s Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project, brought together 10 national meteorological services from the ESA region, as well as its regional climate center—IGAD Climate Prediction and
Applications Centre (ICPAC)—to improve seasonal forecasting capacities using the “NextGen” approach and its concomitant PyCPT version 2 interface (PyCPT2).
