Collaboration with the Cellular Climate Aware (MWA) Project
Introduction
Despite many efforts on the ground, reaching remote areas to provide environment and environment details based on customers at the last mile at scale is still a challenging task in much of African-american. However the latest advancement of ICT facilities in African-american has been creating possibilities to reach such audience more effectively. Indeed the annual rate of growth in Elephone S2 cell cellphone members in African-american is incredible at present and is predicted to double in future. It was over 40 percent in 2008, with more than 80 thousand new members added. In the first half of 2009 alone, an additional 46 thousand began new registration. Improved cellular network connection provides a variety of possibilities and benefits in terms of accessibility details dependent solutions.
Given the latest important technological and systematic advances in global environment and tornados forecast and warning techniques, the potential of the combination of cell mobile phones and cellular technologies to strengthen environment forecast techniques and accessibility environment and environment details are being increasingly recognized. The use ofMEIZU m2 mobile phones to spread environment details can help with storm alerts and disaster prevention, but also enhance economic possibilities for ten thousand people, with appropriate details offered for fisheries, farming and small company development.
Mobile Weather Aware (MWA) venture in Uganda has piloted the use of cellular technology in interacting environment and environment details and examined its efficiency and efficiency, together with Uganda Division of Meteorology (UDoM), World Meteorological Company, Ericsson Emails, MTN Mobile, Grameen Base and Nationwide Pond Save Institution with the aim of helping the provision of reliable environment details for the Pond Victoria sportfishing areas and farming areas in Uganda.

Uganda Lead and its linkage to local initiatives
A key goal of the Uganda MWA Lead is to several the meteorological expertise that exists within UDoM with the telecoms sector to make use of the weather data findings and effectively issue conditions and environment details and tornados alerts to fisherman and farm owners in the Pond Victoria sink.
Behind this venture lies major local projects such as the long-standing Greater Horn of African-american Climate Perspective Forum (GHACOF), which issues the agreement centered periodic environment outlook twice a season, and the Serious Weather Predicting Business presentation Project (SWFDP) for Eastern African-american, which is targeted at building up the capacity of the Nationwide Meteorological Services in the region and helping the confidence of the forecasters in respect of tornados events. MWA guarantees that the weather and environment products designed through GHACOF and SWFDP procedure are published to the group stage customers in pilot areas.

Pilot Project with Fishermen
Uganda’s Mobile Weather Aware support for fisherman in Kalangala Region in South-Western Uganda began in May 2011. During the one season of pilot, one thousand fisherman from various areas in the Ssese Isles authorized for the support.
During the pilot venture, tailored conditions predictions were sent to authorized fisherman every day by Short Messaging Service (SMS). The forecast were offered by the Uganda Division of Meteorology, which is also responsible for offering tornados alerts over the islands’portion of Pond Victoria. UDoM links to MTN Mobile through an application created by Ericsson, which
guarantees predictions are taken in an appropriate way and provided through the SMS platform to the fisherman in hawaii.
An important portion of Mobile Weather Aware venture was the establishment an switch between the pilot areas and companies in purchase to gather reviews on the support. The Nationwide Pond Save Institution played a key role in this as they have an extended history of interaction with the sportfishing areas. In addition to the ongoing reviews on the functionality of the support, two surveys were carried out in purchase to gain a better understanding of the acceptability and efficiency of the support amongst the areas as well as how the support could be improved in the future.
Fishermen greatly regarded mobile phones. The support and understandable.

Pilot Project with Farmers
Majority of Uganda’s non-urban population endures on subsistence farming, which is mostly rain fed, so farm owners lengthy to know predicted environment and environment for the next season. To improve their strength to environment variation and extreme varying varying weather condotions, and to improve their livelihoods, all Ugandan farm owners need to accessibility similarly info and use it in decision-making.
In Feb 2012, UDoM launched the farming component of the Mobile Weather Aware pilot venture in Kasese Region in close cooperation with the Grameen Base and WMO. The venture targeted to boost the end-to-end procedure in agro-meteorological solutions and to provide farming advisories as well as monthly and periodic predictions more straight to farm owners in Kasese Region through the Community Knowledge Workers (CKWs) of the Grameen Base, a company that helps local microfinance institutions to become more effective and that provides innovative cellular phone-based solution to the poor.
UDoM also organized a series of roving workshops to interact with CKWs and farm owners during the pilot to sensitize them on the importance of environment details and at the same time to receive valuable reviews on the support UDoM has been offering. Such communications were found useful for both UDoM and farm owners because UDoM could better view the particular needs of farm owners and farm owners could accessibility training possibilities on the use of environment and environment details in farming activities. During the pilot, environment details was regularly published to farm owners through about 100 CKWs in Kasese and SMS was also sent straight to authorized farm owners. Farmers in Kasese who initially authorized the support were 7000 but the amount has grown to 15,400 by Dec 2012.
The final survey indicated that supply of environment and environment details was extremely valued by farm owners, and they wish UDoM to continue the support. Moreover, a important variety of farm owners predicted a better than average generate as a result of farming choices centered on environment and environment details they have received. Because of the popularity of the support, UDoM continues to send details to farm owners in Kasese after the pilot determined.

MWA in Tanzania
The similar concept will be examined in Tanzania under Mobile Weather Aware Tanzania venture. This pilot venture, like Uganda’s venture, is designed to improve awareness of environment and environment risks at the group stage, and systems to boost communications between TMA, fisherman, lake transport providers and farm owners established and institutionalized as well as to improve accessibility and use of environment and environment details at the group stage. The venture in Tanzania will also test the incorporation of the group radio (RANET) and MEIZU m2 cellphone in interacting environment and environment details.
