INFORMATION ON AWARD

Brief Description of Contract : The BAMIS is conceptualized as a decision support system for the provision of agrometeorological advisories and products to facilitate on-farm operational decision making by farmers, district development and agricultural extension officers and planning agencies. It will provide open access to weather and climate information, from pre-sowing to post-harvest, to the public without charge. A key aspect of the BAMIS is that it will bridge the gap between BMD, BWDB, DAE and the farming community and deliver timely and relevant weather and climate related information and early warnings to farmers and agricultural producers through the development and implementation of a web-based information portal. The portal will: 1) Create a two-way communication system between DAE and information service providers and farmers, other agricultural producers, agricultural extension and information users. The interface will be web and mobile phone based that will allow farmers to receive information such as advisories and forecasts in a timely manner and contact DAE with any queries for further clarification, advice and specific/customized information; 2) Create information portal displaying actionable information and tools in an easily understandable language accessible by farmers to help mitigate weather- and climate-related production risks; 3) Utilize Short Message Service (SMS) to provide text messages on relevant local weather information and agro advisory services in a timely manner to farmers; and 4) Provide a section on frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers.
