Additional Context: This information is based on 150 semi-structured interviews conducted by One Earth Partners across five countries selected to represent the diversity of USAID's environmental work. Interview findings were triangulated with a global survey of 175 respondents and external media analysis.

These systems had provided over 30 years of validated research baselines which had become critical for climate forecasting and food security analyses in Kenya. Access to this historical and real-time information has thus been affected.

Devex Researcher Note: Climate Data Libraries are online repositories used by national meteorological services to generate quality-controlled historical records of climate variables that can be implemented to compare and identify anomalies, trends, or extremes. NASA Networks are satellite data streams and ground-observation networks that are often merged with local station data to fill gaps where weather monitoring infrastructure is sparse.
