Between 2021 and 2025, Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) developed and piloted a gender-responsive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) methodology for Climate Information Services (CIS) in Africa. Through methodological research, a toolkit, and stakeholder consultations, the approach was tested in Kenya and subsequently integrated into selected training programs at the Institute for Meteorological Training and Research (IMTR). Course materials were also made available through the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) Regional e-Learning Platform, providing access for use in academic and professional training contexts.
