The Climate Information Prize (CIP) sought to incentivise the development and implementation of innovative Climate Information Services (CISs) for the poorest and most vulnerable people in Kenya.
The CIP was delivered by IMC Worldwide and Cardno as the local implementing agent and was designed by the Institute of Development Studies.
The Climate Information Prize (CIP) was launched in Kenya in 2015 as a multi-stage innovation inducement prize aiming to promote the design and implementation of demand-led climate information services (CISs) and to raise awareness of the importance of climate information for coping with and adapting to climate variability and change. The CIP is one of a set of prizes being implemented under the UK Department for International Development’s (DFIDs) Ideas to Impact (I2I) programme, which seeks to induce innovative solutions to development challenges in Climate Change Adaptation, Energy Access, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH); and, in doing so, to test, research and learn about the use of innovation prizes for development.i
