Jameel Observatory

The Jameel Observatory focuses on using data and evidence to prepare for and act on environmental shocks as well as those impacts of climate change and variability that threaten human and environmental well-being.

 

With a special focus on low and middle-income countries, we work at the interface of climate, natural disasters, agricultural and food systems, and health.

We particularly emphasise the need to incorporate local as well as scientific knowledge to prepare and act in anticipation of environmental shocks.

The overall aim of this impact collaboration is to propose changes to the end-to-end processes linking the products of Early Warning Systems (their data, information, analysis and predictive impacts) with decision-making at community levels, so pastoral and agropastoral communities in the Horn of Africa can better manage seasonal variability and its effects on their food security, nutrition and livelihoods. Resulting from this collaboration, pastoral and agro-pastoral communities will be able to take advantage of more relevant and reliable information, data and other products of Early Warning Systems, applying them as appropriate in their own decisions and anticipatory actions. The project should: characterize and understand the needs and preferences of pastoral and agropastoral communities for data and other products of Early Warning Systems and how trust and other factors determine the early and anticipatory actions taken by local communities. examine the drivers of...
