The article offers information on the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Africa Initiative (AI), an effort to help constrain the development of climate and weather in Africa. UCAR and AI worked together to improve the atmospheric sciences infrastructure in the continent. AI is making effort to encourage universities and government agencies to take on other efforts, such as atmospheric science capacity building, in different ways, in Africa. UCAR is expanding those activities it collaborated with AI. A weather radar network project is currently in progress as part of the effort to improve the atmospheric sciences infrastructure in the continent.
