	Improving Climate Forecast Communications for Farm Management in Uganda
		Interannual climate variability in eastern Africa is strongly influenced by the El Nino/Southern Oscillation, and the region is therefore a good candidate for implementing seasonal forecasts, especially regarding precipitation in the second half of the year.
		Yet, this potential for use of forecast information is not being realized, partially as a result of a communication gap between the forecast-producers and the forecast-users.
		Because of the high linguistic diversity of Uganda, each language is spoken in an area of relatively uniform climatological conditions, making it possible to target forecasts and forecast products to each specific language group.
