Strengthening Early Warning Systems For Anticipatory Actions
Strengthening Early Warning Systems for Anticipatory Actions project in Kenya, supported by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and funded by Google.org, aims to enhance disaster preparedness by integrating machine learning into early warning systems. Collaborating with the Kenya Meteorological Department, the Ethiopian Meteorological Institute, the University of Oxford, and other partners, the project seeks to improve the accuracy and timeliness of forecasts, enabling communities to take proactive measures against climate-related hazards. The project levelages advanced technologies, the project aspires to transform early warning systems in the IGAD region, fostering resilience and reducing the adverse impacts of disasters on vulnerable populations.
