President Kagame: A joint initiative with Columbia’s International Research Institute for Climate and Society has rebuilt 15 years of lost climate data. #WorldLeadersForum

President Kagame: The program has also helped our national weather agency build an advanced online climate information system for Rwandan farmers. These results could only have been achieved with sustained partnership, over many years. #WorldLeadersForum

“One of the best examples from the CCAFS-IRI partnership of the power of working together is in Rwanda: 130k farmers trained to access & use climate services. >90% changed their practices as a result” Jim Hansen @climatesociety & former CCAFS flagship lead bit.ly/2mH9CVz
