马拉维的小农户面临日益加剧的气候风险,包括降雨无定、干旱、洪水和强风,这些风险影响农业生产力、粮食安全和生计。此类风险带有性别影响,因为女性农户往往资源更少、应对时决策权更小。数字气候咨询服务(DCAS)通过帮助农户预判风险并就种植和作物选择作出决策来支持适应,由公共部门主导的多渠道体系提供,结合短信、USSD/321服务、呼叫中心、广播、应用程序工具和推广服务。
Malawi’s smallholder farmers face increasing climate risks, including erratic rainfall, dry spells, floods and strong winds, which affect agricultural productivity, food security and livelihoods. These risks carry gendered implications, as women farmers often have fewer resources and less decision-making power to respond. Digital Climate Advisory Services (DCAS) support adaptation by helping farmers anticipate risks and make decisions on planting and crop choice, delivered through a public-sector-led, multi-channel system combining SMS, USSD/321 services, call centres, radio, app-based tools and extension.
