What is Sectoral Engagement?

NCDC recently developed a sectoral program in order to ensure that the climate information needs of climate sensitive socioeconomic sectors are understood, addressed, and provided.

The main goal of these renewed efforts is to not only respond to user needs but to anticipate user needs.

Sectoral engagement activities are a center-wide endeavor to better serve the user community.
