Building resilient yet progressive agriculture and fisheries livelihoods and communities by providing highly-responsive agriculture and fisheries support services.
The AMIA Program envisions the Philippines where all communities, especially those dependent on agriculture and fisheries, would become resilient to the increasing adverse effects of climate change.
In pursuit of this vision, the program aims to set up model communities called AMIA villages, which would serve as lighthouses or go-to places for other communities to learn from and emulate, and where technological and institutional innovations are introduced so that these villages may have access to climate-relevant support services.
The AMIA Village Model
Timely, relevant, and site-specific climate information via Climate Information Services (CIS)
