- Abstract
- In West Africa Early Warning Systems (EWSs) for food security have been widely recognized to have contributed
in the last twenty years to better face famine emergencies. The improved understanding of the environmental
and socio-economic dynamics of the region, a change in the causes for food insecurity and the evolution of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have favored the introduction of new approaches and the
involvement of a network of stakeholders.
In recent years the improvement of EWS has been concentrated in the adaptation and the transfer of existing tools
rather than the development of the overall design of EWS in function of users needs, at the same time key scientific
areas to be improved to provide major operational advancements needs to be better identified. This partially due
to a difficulty of the research community to be in direct connection with operational processes and on the other
side by an evident limit in following a demand driven approach due to the difficulties in modelling bio and social
phenomena in a unique environment.
In this context AMMA project had the ambitious objective of bridging the gap between state of the art research
in the domains of geo-science and human related disciplines, and the operational EWS. The work carried out in
AMMA, while improving the understanding of monsoon system, allowed to better orient research challenges in
order to provide EWS with improved products effectively meeting the needs of end-users at different levels. In this
work, advancements in providing appropriate information for the identification of agricultural risk zones by using
short to long time forecasts are illustrated highlighting critical aspects still demanding scientific improvements. (literal)
