The Drought Monitoring Centre for the Greater Horn of Africa

2010-04-20T00:00:00Z

The Drought Monitoring Centre for the Greater Horn of Africa, renamed as the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) in Nairobi, Kenya, seeks to mitigate the negative impacts of extreme climate events in the region including its seven member countries: Djibouti; Eritrea; Ethiopia; Kenya; Somalia; Sudan; and Uganda.

The Center's five objectives are to: provide timely early warning information and support sector-specific applications to mitigate climate change impacts; improve the technical capacity of the producers and users of climate information; develop an improved, proactive, timely, broad-based system of information dissemination and feedback at sub-regional and national levels; expand the climate knowledge base and applications within the sub-region; and maintain quality controlled databases and information systems.
