Maintaining momentum and essential functions between projects

The CREWS Chad multi-year project has created essential building blocks of a multi-hazard early warning system across meteorology, hydrology, food security, agriculture and civil protection. As the project comes to an end, a transition period remains before the next investment mobilizes. This ASW action helps Chad maintain critical capacities and avoid backsliding during that transition period. It also supports the finalization of last-mile standard operating procedures, data governance and inter-agency workflows, helping ensure that future investments are built on a stable, operational base rather than partially implemented processes. In this way, the ASW action connects between projects and helps reduce risks to the larger EW4All investment.
