This study analyzes the impact of seasonal and daily weather forecasts mediated by a multidisciplinary working group (MWG), a co-production model for weather and climate information. A two-season balanced dataset in combination with panel econometrics was used to explore the impact of uptake of weather and climate information uptake and the impact on farmers’ agricultural income in Senegal. The data were complemented by participatory surveys that provide richer contextual information to explain the impact pathways. Results show that the use of weather and climate information increased the value of crop produce by between 10-25\% for farmers with access to an MWG. Coordinated platforms that involve diverse stakeholders like the MWGs play a critical role in co-producing weather and climate information that are more usable to ...

The annual average figure also includes in it the monthly mean average from January to December for each district as a bar chart. Although in Sri Lanka incidences of malaria diagnosed at government hospitals are reported to theAMC, self treatment is common andthere is increasingly some treatment at private hospitals that go unreported. Malaria is predominantly found in the Colombo and Gampahawith more than 500 cases. Kandy has in the range of 200-500 cases andKurunegala, Kalutara, Ratnapuraand Mataradistricts had an annual average case load in the range from 200-500. These districts represent the most urbanized in Sri Lanka. Dengue incidence has a bimodal distribution with a main peak around June or July and a subsidiary peak in November, December or January. Data Microscopically confirmed DS division wise malaria cases were collected from Anti-Malaria Campaign for the period 1963-2003. The sum of DS division wise data was taken as the districtdata. The averages of district wise annual and monthly data for the above period were used to generate the maps. Where incidence data was missing at the subdistrict level, corrections were applied based on the malaria incidence in the remainder of the district.
