   Scientific knowledge is only one representation of the

   objective and superior (Agrawal, 1995; Briggs, 2005),        Local knowledge in BRACED

       Box 4: Forecasts for decision making

       An interactive scenario exercise carried out during the workshop in Ethiopia was used to illustrate the challenges faced by
       users of climate information. Workshop participants worked in mixed groups to act as decision makers at different levels
       (e.g. woreda/kebele (village) level, sedentary / agricultural communities). They were given national met service seasonal fore-
       cast products alongside a list of local indicators and were tasked to make a decision about what action to take. The same
       exercise was adapted to the context and used in the AMMA 2050-BRACED workshop in Burkina Faso in January 2017.
       Decision-makers across both projects, including climate scientists, mayors of rural and urban areas, meteorologists, social
       scientists and practitioners were given seasonal, 10-day and daily forecasts alongside traditional indicators and were asked
       to make a decision.

       Lessons Learned
       After completing the exercise, participants of the Ethiopian workshop reported that the terms used in the scientific forecast
       were difficult to interpret without prior training, and the forecasts lacked the required regional detail. Participants found that
       their decisions based on local vs. scientific knowledge were not always complementary, leading to discussion around the
       need to acknowledge both sources of information. Value was added to both forecasts by those participants who knew how
       to interpret the information and convert it into reactive actions.
       Interestingly, similar dynamics appeared in Burkina Faso. The difference of time scales led to a reflection of the need to
       consider different scales of both weather and climate information as well as the flexibility in time and resources to adapt de-
       cisions to whatever information is available and relevant at the time. It was also a great opportunity for an open discussion
       between mayors (as local decision-makers) and scientists at different levels; while mayors had the opportunity to fully grasp
       the probabilistic nature of the information and the unavoidable uncertainty forecasts convey, scientists were able to focus on
       the nature of the information needed, not necessarily aligned with what was currently provided. Both projects (BRACED ZL
       and AMMA 2050) developed methodologies to address the issue of dialogue and communication between climate produc-

Box 5 – Key findings from the UK Met research report: BRACED Burkina Faso (Zaman Lebidi) Indige-
nous indicators used for seasonal forecasts in northern Burkina Faso (Gallo and Henley, 2017)

The UK Met Office designed a survey to gain an overview of the various types of traditional indicators used by local people
across various regions of Burkina Faso. Due to the variety of indicators used, the UK Met Office grouped them into the fol-
lowing categories below. This allowed a focus on the key indicators and helped provide consistency of survey results across
all communities. The selected categories were:
•     Shape of polar star          			                  •     Toad behaviour*
•     Bird behaviour* 				                              •     Oracle dreams
•     Wind direction 				                               •     Production of fruit trees
•     Intense cold during previous winter 		            •     Leaves/flowers blossoming
•     Sacrifices 					                                  •     Insect behaviour*

* Note: In the following analysis, the insects, toads and bird categories have been merged in a fourth category called “ani-
mal behaviour”.
A majority of answers (67%) indicates a use of traditional indicators for weather and climate information. The use of tradi-
tional knowledge is widespread in the Nord region (more than 87% of answers), whereas only half of the farmers use it in
the Centre Nord (56%). No obvious link can be observed between the proportion of people reporting having received climate
information in the past year and their use of traditional knowledge.
Figure 1 shows that across all survey results, the main type of traditional indicators used relate to trees – fruit tree produc-
tion and the evolution of trees (blossoming of flowers, emergence of leaves) are cited by 50% and 18% as the main source
of information, respectively. This is especially true for the Nord region, where those two indices represent more than 90%
of answers. However, large discrepancies are visible across the three regions. The use of sacrifices to obtain information is
common in the Centre Nord region, where it is the single most used indicator, but very limited in the other two regions.
Overall, the traditional indicators are perceived as relatively reliable by the users of these indicators, three out of four an-
swers describing them as sometimes reliable or quite reliable. This pattern is roughly the same in all three regions. The users
from the Nord region appear to have even more confidence in these tools (no answers corresponding to a negative percep-
tion).

    Oracle dreams                              Wind direction

    Leaf/flower growth                         Sacrifices

Reliability of Local Indicators
Another aim of the survey was to investigate the perceived
change in the reliability of these indicators over the last
few years and decades. Overall, the perception is that
the reliability of traditional indicators has either decreased
(55%) or stayed the same (36%). Only 6% of users per-
ceived an improvement in their favoured indicator. The
results in the different regions are similar; the proportion of
users describing an improvement in the reliability is higher
(14%) but still low in the Centre Nord.
When looking at the perceived timescale of any changes
reported, the results are quite variable between regions.
In the Centre Nord, 89% of the users who have noticed a
change think it happened during the last 10 years, whereas
in the Nord 75% think it occurred more than 10 years ago
(including 42% for more than 20 years ago). Looking at
the most used indicator in each region, this seem to have
worsened over a longer period (since at least 10 years ago
or longer), even though the timescales of changes for each
tool is also quite variable.

    Box 6 Knowledge and Power

    We have already discussed how scientific information can serve to reinforce social norms and power hierarchies in the exam-
    ple of women missing critical climate information communicated via mobile phone or radio, since studies have shown they
    are less likely to own either of these (McOmber et al., 2013).
    In the case of local knowledge, the power relations are no less problematic. Factors such as age, experience, wealth, produc-
    tion priorities, household circumstances, political power and gender have an impact on people’s access to knowledge and
    ability to apply such knowledge (Briggs, 2005). It is therefore essential that an awareness of power dynamics in any knowl-
    edge system is present in any co-production process, and that knowledge power structures are not ignored or unwittingly
    adopted (Marchand and Parpart, 1995).

    Box 7: Participatory Scenario Planning process

    Through the Participatory Scenario Planning process, participants consider climatic probabilities (which are an expression
    of the uncertainty in the climate forecast); assess their likely hazards, risks, opportunities and impacts; and develop scenar-
    ios based on this assessment. Discussion of the potential implications of these scenarios on livelihoods leads to agreement
    on plans and contingencies that respond adequately to the levels of risk and uncertainty. PSP forms part of the adaptation
    planning process, making the link between community plans and local government responses and support, as well as higher
    level plans. The process outlined below is drawn from Care International’s guidance (Care International, 2013):

    1.   Identify the meteorological services and forecasts available for the location where adaptation is being planned and
         plan the PSP workshop with them and key local actors.

    2.   Invite participants from a relevant range of stakeholders, including meteorological services and local/traditional fore-
         casting experts.

    3.   Exchange seasonal climate forecasts from local and scientific sources.

    4.   Discuss and integrate the forecasts from the two sources.

    5.   Participants interpret the seasonal forecast into three probabilistic hazard scenarios, assessing risks posed by the
         hazards to develop impact scenarios. Opportunities in the coming season are also identified for each scenario.

    6.   Participants discuss the local implications of the impact scenarios considering the status of food security, natural
         resources, livelihoods and sectors.

    7.   Participants discuss and develop actions for each impact scenario, taking advantage of identified opportunities: What
         will communities, local government and local NGOs do? How will their actions be mutually supportive and respond to
         both the current situation and the expected forecast in relation to livelihood and sector priorities?

    8.   Develop advisories from the actions discussed: Locally relevant and actionable information, with agreed responsibili-
         ties among local actors.

    9.   Communicate advisories to users, for e.g. through radio, local monitoring or other institutional systems, religious lead-
         ers, chiefs, government departments, local groups, NGOs, media etc.
