The European-African project SAFE4ALL aims at addressing food security and migration issues to cities in several African countries. The main aim of the project has two parts: we want to support local and regional actors in in decision-making to safeguard African foodsheds. In addition, we want to help communities at different levels to better arm themselves against the impacts of climate change.
As weather and climate risks increase, there is a growing need for better climate and weather information and services. The services that already exist are often stand-alone and should be linked to each other to work even better. Information provision also follows a top-down approach that works at the national level but could be improved at the regional and local level. SAFE4ALL aims to provide user-centred climate services at the local level, to address interrelated issues of climate change, food security and urban migration.
What does the project entail?
We will improve and scale up affordable services with local information to meet the needs of end-users in Kenya, Ghana and Zimbabwe. Co-creation case studies will be organised in these countries with small farming communities, medium-sized municipalities and cities.
SAFE4ALL will coordinate efforts from governments, civil society, academia, and international organizations to strengthen the knowledge and skills of end-users, to contribute to food security and resilience, and to promote sustainable agriculture.
What is the purpose of the project?
The aim is to make communities more resilient to the impacts of climate change, such as drought, floods and other extreme weather. Adaptation policy and measures that make communities more resilient to extreme weather can also help prevent residents from moving to cities for a livable livelihood.
What is our role?
Our ambition is for SAFE4ALL’s products and tools to become part of end-users’ daily activities and existing organisational structures. Therefore, we want to increase the knowledge and skills of key staff, local authorities, communities and entrepreneurs. We will develop regional portals where we bundle the outcomes from the project and use storytelling backed by data visualization to highlight learnings from case studies.
