Community Climate Services for Small-Scale Farmers in Tanzania

Climate variability affects small scale farming in the Global South, with serious worldwide implications. Unreliable information has been found as one factor that contributes negatively to farming success. The issue of unreliable information has become ever more pressing with climate change. In the future, technology can contribute positively to farming success, if implemented well. In this paper, we present our results from initial data collection: the System Action Design Research Framework (SADR) and Epistemic Implementation Delphi Panel (EIM) models, and present first prototypes for a mobile holistic climate service, to be piloted in Morogoro region, Tanzania. Our results show high importance in inclusive and participatory approaches in project implementation, which aligns well with observations from related research.
