Community engagement and agenda setting the focus of Jameel Observatory’s first year
This post gives a brief update on the various activities carried out to July 2022
Anticipatory actions can mitigate future droughts in East Africa’s drylands
Guyo Roba calls for improved diagnostic and predictive tools, enhanced capacities and expanded multi-year flexible funding for anticipatory action against drought.
Delayed actions against drought and hunger cost lives
A new report by Save the Children, Oxfam and the Jameel Observatory reviews changes in anticipatory action and response in the Horn of Africa.
Early action priorities the focus of Observatory’s first community of practice meeting
The Observatory’s first face to face meeting of partners co-identified a set of ‘challenge questions’ to help guide the Observatory’s choice of research and other actions.
Jameel Observatory approach critiqued
As a first step towards forming a community of practice to take the Jameel Observatory’s goals forward, we convened an informal virtual meeting in September with actors, partners, collaborators and stakeholders working on food security early action and climate change. The meeting aimed to introduce the Observatory’s work and solicit ideas and guidance on priority actions to take forward.
Jameel Observatory launched
The Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action has been created to help tackle the growing threat to people in the world’s drylands posed by the increasing severity and frequency of climate-related disasters.
