APN CAPa. BLE Indonesia • PROJECT goal is to increase adoption of climate information for managing climate risks through Enhancement of Policy-Science-Community Networking • APN CAPa. BLE is expected to contribute to the development of boundary institutions, an institution that bridge science community, policy makers and communities (end users) to produce attractive and relevance climate information applications (CIA) for managing current and future climate risks, and to assist the process of integrating climate change issues into national development policies • Science community, policy makers and communities Network developed at local can play role in the process of increasing resilience of agriculture system to climate variability and climate change

APN-CAPa. BLE Process: Indonesian Case Regional BMG AARD IPB/ Universities Ditlin Strengthening networking, building knowledge and leadership (agents of change) Local Gov’t Workshop Local/National Capacitating farmers to manage climate risk Action Researches for managing climate risk in the selected sites BP 2 TP Local Workshops Local Scientist Identification of climate re. problems Local Scientist Workshop/Training Local Scientist BMG HQ Field School (FS) development Building Network

APN-CAPa. BLE Process: Indonesian Case • CAPa. BLE APN can contribute to the process of developing effective climate information system, a system which is able to provide climate information which is easy to understand, meet the client needs and gets into the hands of appropriate users in a timely fashion which allowing them to use it for making appropriate decision

Component of Effective Climate Information System d 4 an m ( ionyste t ican S n u m atio m in Co em ss i D ) Communication and Dissemination System (4) Climate data observation/ generation and analysis Modified from Ropelewski System (1) and Lyon (2003) USERS D C i ss om e m m ina unic t i on atio S y na s temnd (4) • BMGs play significant role in developing the first three components • BP 2 TP, AARD, University contribute mainly to the development of Climate Information Application • Local Governments contribute mainly to development of effective communication and dissemination system • Farmers as users provide feed back for improvement Weather/ Climate forecast/ prediction System (3) Climate Information Production & Evaluation System (2)
