Biosecurity is often conceptualised and managed as an issue of biological risk. However, turning the focus to how to build collaboration between stakeholders in biosecurity can shed new light on why and how biosecurity surveillance programs can be successful – or not.

Under the Australia Awards Fellowship (AAF), the Victorian State Government’s Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources Division of International Education has organised and sponsored a delegation of Latin-American Universities’ senior research administrators and researchers to visit Victorian universities in September.

Climate services involve the timely production, translation, and delivery of useful climate data, information
and knowledge for societal decision making. In order to create climate services for farmers that are truly
integrated with user-centric design into the development process in an African context, the study has
finished an important and crucial step by conducting a literature review and designing a prototype for the
application. The goal of this study was to create climate services for farmers in an African context that are
genuinely integrated with user-centric design. This led to the co-design and development and integration
of a mobile application that provide climate and weather information as well as agricultural
information for the main crops such millet, maize and sorghum. The research applied using qualitative
research using interview with 3 farmers in the field using random sampling with the approach to inform
the study. A survey has been administered to find out how people understand climate services, Agro
meteorology and help enhance the mobile application’s user experience. A Results shows that farmers are
determined and ready to use and excited with the application. These innovations helped farmers to reduce
the cost, increase crop capacity and profit. A hypothesis was set that there is a need forintegrating AI into
a farmer’s application for making farming process more progressive and efficient farming and the
integration of Market Place (MP) for farmer’s application to market and sell their product the integration
of notification system that allows farmers to receive real-time data and IOT for real-time data. The data
collected and the survey results demonstrated that the research objectives were being met. The study aims
to develop the application that would be scalable, durable and fault tolerant for farmers to use the
application successfully.

Predicting the misconception of dengue disease based on the awareness surveyjournalBEEI
Mosquito-borne disease such as dengue fever is a pervasive public health problem around the world and further investigation is needed to rectify the misunderstanding of the disease among communities. This requires a personalized information delivery, which will effectively fix the problem. The process of personalizing information requires several major steps: (i) determine the attributes which will be used to interpret a person, (ii) selects an algorithm which will accurately and efficiently classify the person according to the retrieved background information, and (iii) recommends the correct information to rectify the particular misunderstanding. This research paper considers the first two steps. First, data regarding the knowledge, attitudes and prevention practices are determined from the established literature where some variables give a significant impact on the predictive model. In the second step, five performed machine learning algorithms were tested for the classification task. The result indicates that the use of Support Vector Machine and Decision Tree algorithms provide the best performance in classifying the person’s understanding regarding the dengue fever.
Establishing a platform for dialogue among key Departments at the national an...Soksophors yim
Participatory platforms enable the co-production process of climate services (CS) and provide an
opportunity to strengthen the link between the DoM and technical departments of MAFF through
regular exchange of climate information and understanding of the CS demand from agriculture
sector to develop tailored agro-advisories for planning and decision-making.
•
Effective dissemination of agro-advisories to last-mile users requires a combination of approach
(LTAC), enhancement of decision-support tool (CDT + SESAME), and utilization of various
communication channels (printed posters, Telegram, face-to-face meetings) compounded with
multi-stakeholder cooperation including government, private sector, NGOs, relevant programs and
farmer organizations, among others.
•
Collaboration with national hydromet center is critical for timely access to official seasonal climate
and short-term weather forecasts for the translation into agro-advisory. However, this necessitates
improved capacity of hydromet to provide reliable and accurate downscaled climate information
which entails further technical and financial support from government, potential donors, and private
sector cooperation to deliver agro advisory that is most appropriate to farmers’ needs on the ground.
The overall objective of the study was to assess impact of the radio programmes to 3 listening groups in CCAP project through addressing specific objectives of assessing any changes of level of awareness on issues of climate change and climate change adaptation and mitigation,to assess any change of practices of the members of listening group as a result of radio programmes,to assess whether there are any initiatives by listening group members to share with with other community member key lesson learned through radio programmes,to assess initiatives of group members to advocate for changes of policies and plans at village/ward level to integrate key issues learned through radio programmes and to identify obstacles if any whether caused by project or within community members that hinder community members responding to issues they are learning through radio programmes.
Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) implies a multi-stakeholders action, innovation and a process of social learning for adaptive livelihoods. Within this framework, communication plays a key role to facilitate knowledge sharing, participation and to enhance rural institutions capacities to assist small farmers to face climate change challenges.
CBA requires communication methods and tools to deal in an integrated manner with climate change issues, in order to:
• involve communities through participation and dialogue;
• discover with farmers appropriate technologies, livelihood options and sound economic practices;
• share knowledge through improved advisory services, such as Farmer and Climate Field Schools, demonstrations, field days etc.
Communication for Development (ComDev) is an approach promoted by FAO and other development agencies. It is central to CBA as it combines participatory communication methods and processes with a variety of media and tools, ranging from rural radio to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
The FAO’s Communication for Sustainable Development Initiative (CSDI) is documenting and sharing good practices on the use of communication for CBA and it is piloting out strategies and services in selected pilot areas, namely: Congo, Jamaica, Bangladesh and Bolivia. These initiatives and other ongoing efforts and experiences will be shared and assessed in a working session at the conference come up with a common framework on communication for CBA.
