A team of local PEP researchers hosted a national policy conference to present findings from their innovative research on ICT-enabled climate services to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers in Benin. The event brought together approximately 25 policymakers and stakeholders to discuss how the introduction of ICT tools can mitigate climate variability, a significant threat to agricultural productivity and smallholder incomes. The research, conducted under PEP’s Fostering Autonomous Local Impact Evaluations for Policymaking (FALIEP) program, was supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The conference attracted representatives from Benin's @Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries (MAEP Benin), the Ministry of Development and Government Action Coordination, academics from Beninese universities, and leaders of farmer organizations and NGOs supporting agricultural resilience. 🗞️ Read the full news story here: https://lnkd.in/gZupgnWA
