Making climate science useful: cross-regional learning from Kenya and Senegal
1. Climate scientists in the UK participating in the exchange come from the universities of
Liverpool, London, Oxford and Sussex as well as the UK Met Office.
2. International humanitarian organization partners in the exchange include CAFOD,
Christian Aid, Senegal Red Cross and Oxfam GB.
3. This was subsequently extended to November 2012 to support provision of climate
services over the 2012 rainy season in Senegal, and allow for follow-up evaluation and
synthesis of cross-exchange learning.

6. A webspace for pooling evolving learning on approaches which support dialogue between
the providers and users of science is being established within a current two-year Knowledge
Exchange Fellowship, supported by the UK Natural Environment Research Council and
hosted at HFP. This webspace was launched in late May 2012, housed at the Enhanced
Learning and Research for Humanitarian Action.
