The six-year Intra-ACP : African, Caribbean, Pacific Group of States, Climate Services and Related Applications (ClimSA) project – with EUR 85 million in funding from the European Union – aims to improve the production, access to and use of climate information, services and applications for decision makers. The project will foster sustainable development through the prevention of desertification, preservation of ecological biodiversity and the sustainable use of water management in ACP countries. 

RIMES is supporting ClimSA with the following key activities:

  1. Enhance RCC capabilities to produce, deliver and improve climate services through climate service information system (CSIS) at the regional level
  2. Facilitate implementation and coordination of CSIS
  3. Provide methods and tools for observational datasets and model intercomparison at the regional scale to RCCs to assess which datasets are fit for purpose for their regions.
