FCFA projects will be delivered through collaborative partnerships of the world's best researchers. The programme's success will be measured by the way that its research generates new knowledge which can be used to benefit the poor in a sustainable manner.FCFA is the successor to DFID’s highly successful Climate Science Research Partnership with the Met Office, which for the first time applied the Met Office world-leading climate models to Africa in a focussed effort to improve the reliability of drought early warning systems and to enhance our understanding of climate change on the continent.

Research will be structured around three pillars, which will be complemented by activities focused on building user-demand, knowledge and skills, and strengthening scientific capacity in Africa.

FCFA will deliver (i) increased availability and use of high-quality, robust climate information across Africa and greater expertise on how to apply this in practice, (ii) improved long-term decision making and investments by stakeholders in climate-sensitive areas, and (iii) sustained improvements in climate services (eg., early warnings, climate scenarios, expertise) across Africa.

This will contribute to poverty alleviation through increasing resilience and reducing the impacts of climate hazards such as flooding and drought and longer term climate change on poorer communities.

IRAP supports activities that link climate research and assessments to practical risk management, the creation of early warning systems and development and adaptation challenges. It will connect the synthesis, interpretation and translation of physical climate information, including monitoring and prediction capabilities, with interdisciplinary applications research on impacts, vulnerabilities and decision making needs and capabilities of information users, and the enhancement of the institutional and technical capacity for the application of climate information to support proactive planning and response. The multi-disciplinary IRAP team will advance five strategic goals in each region:

1) Determine vulnerabilities and user needs; 2) Co-produce climate information; 3) Create relevant decision support tools; 4) Improve system through evaluation; and 5) Enhance regional and local capacity.

Based on user needs and capacities identified by workshops and study, IRAP works with regional and national organizations to co-develop experimental products for the consideration and evaluation of decision makers in various sectors; one focus of this effort is the development of sub-seasonal climate information and drought projections for the Caribbean.

The IRAP conducts vulnerability and impact focused research, the results of which can feed into the development and use of effective climate services.

IRAP supports fellowships and training activities in the regions of interest. Members of the IRAP team participate in and contribute to existing Regional Climate

Outlook Forums, which are designed to facilitate the development and discussion of relevant climate information. The IRAP utilizes these and other events (some of which are convened directly by IRAP) to employ social science methodologies to identify user needs and capacities, and explore and evaluate the nature of climate services in this context.

There are no global financial resources, each research group and/or working group obtains their own funding

10 years starting in July 2013

From 2003 until 2012 IAHS undertook a highly successful project on Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB). The results of PUB have been presented at many international symposia and published widely in the scientific literature. For the next ten years, IAHS is building on PUB by using PantaRhei is to develop an improved interpretation of the processes governing the water cycle by focusing on their changing dynamics in connection with rapidly changing human systems.

The practical aim of PantaRhei is to improve our capability to make predictions of water resources dynamics to support sustainable societal development in a changing environment. The concept implies a focus on hydrological systems as a changing interface between environment and society, whose dynamics are essential to determine water security, human safety and development, and to set priorities for environmental management.

The Scientific Decade 2013–2022 will devise innovative theoretical blueprints for the representation of processes including change and will focus on advanced monitoring and data analysis techniques. Interdisciplinarity will be sought by increased efforts to bridge with the socio–economic sciences and geosciences in general.
