Marketinformation and access tocredit are particularlyimportant for both.Co-development of climateadvisories through aparticipatory approach isparticularly suited.Figure 2: What advisories would improve the usability of CIS?Figure 3: What mechanism is best suited to generate climateadvisories?Figure 1: Correla@on of risks across different domains as reportedby livestock farmers.
