The EU-CSF III is supporting Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) to develop a mobile application as an early warning system and to provide vital information for farmers in collaboration with a software developing company. The application will help track and access weather and early warning information on a daily, decadal, monthly, and seasonal basis. In line with this, smart phones were purchased and distributed to twenty-nine development agents to create exposure and to share and disseminate the weather information through the mobile application and different social media platforms and the National Metrology Agency Website.

ERCS, with its partners, is implementing the EU CSF III project focused on climate change in the Ebinat district in the South Gondar zone of Amhara Region.
