GFCS-APA was the first multi-agency initiative imple</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">mented </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">under the Global
Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) in two African</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> countries, namely Tanzania and Malawi with
funding from the Royal</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Govern</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ment of
Norway. In Tanzania, the programme was implemented in two</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> phases from
the year 2014 to 2021 in the three pilot districts of Kondoa, Longido and
Kiteto located in Dodoma, Arusha and Manyara regions</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> re</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">spectively.
The overarching goal of the programme was to enable bette</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">r
management of the risks caused by climate variability and change at all levels,
from </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">end-users to policy level, through
development and incorporation of</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> science</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">based climate in</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">formation and prediction services into planning,
