On June 25, 2025, CENN together with the representatives of the Institute for Water Educational (IHE Delft) introduced the working version of Alazani Basin drought and seasonal streamflow prediction system to the MAP members.
A structured, experiential learning activity allowed participants to explore how the climate service can be applied in practice, understand its potential value, and provide feedback based on their experiences.
Within the framework of the meeting, recommendations to improve the service has been prepared, according to which CENN, together with the project international partners, with the involvement of stakeholders, will continue working on the development of seasonal forecast system.
The drought and seasonal streamflow prediction system is being developed within the Innovating Climate Services through Integrating Scientific and Local Knowledge (I-CISK) project, financially supported by theEuropean Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The project is being implemented by the Institute for Water Educational (IHE Delft) together with a consortium of 13 member organizations.
The main objective of the I-CISK project is to develop next-generation CS that follows a social and behaviourally-informed approach for co-producing CS that meet the climate information needs of citizens, decision makers and stakeholders at the spatial and temporal scale relevant to them. CENN has represented the project in Georgia since 2021.
