Short summary
There is a limited knowledge on impacts of Climate Services in Africa. This paper analyses the impacts that agrometeorological services have for smallholder farmers in a typical rainfed staple crop production system of West Africa.

The final outcome is an increase of crop yield and an economic benefit compared to farmers that does not use the services.
