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.
