https://issuu.com/objectif-developpement/docs/qdd_60_vf_bdLocal knowledge is currently attracting growing interest on the international stage, in particular for its contribution to biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation. An increasing number of development projects are now opting to incorporate it in scientific knowledge. Based on a review of the literature on Africa and a field survey financed by AFD among 285 farmers in northern Côte d’Ivoire, the purpose of this document is to identify the potential of local forecasting knowledge (LFK) in the field of climate services for farmers.
