During the workshop held in Accra, Ghana, from 07 to 13 April 2019, more than 40 participants from more than 15 Meteo / Hydro / DRR agencies worked on the co-design and in the strengthening of the [FANFAR](http://fanfar.eu/) project specifications that shall provide access to operational forecasts and alerts in addressing the flood challenges in West Africa. FANFAR is an European Union-financed project that co-designs, co-adapts, and co-operates a short- and medium-term hydrological forecasting and alert pilot system for West Africa. It aims to provide key stakeholders with reliable and timely [access to operational forecasts and alerts](http://fanfar.eu/visualisation/) enabled by a robust [forecast production system](http://fanfar.eu/production/) adapted to regional conditions and operated by West African institutions.
