<translate> Imarika ni boti ya mazungumzo inayotoa huduma za ushauri wa hali ya hewa kidijitali katika lugha ya Kiingereza na Kiswahili ambayo itasaidia wakulima wadogo kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa. Mradi huu unalenga kukabiliana na hatari ya wakulima kukabiliwa na hali ya hewa isiyotabirika kutokana na kukosekana kwa utabiri wa hali ya hewa unaoweza kufikiwa, wa kutegemewa na wa eneo. Upatikanaji wa taarifa za hali ya hewa ni tofauti sana katika Afrika Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara na kwa kawaida ni utabiri wa hali ya chini ya usahihi wa kitaifa au wa kikanda unaotangazwa kwenye redio naau TV. Mradi hasa unatarajia kuwahudumia wakulima wadogo ambao mara nyingi wana ufikiaji mdogo wa huduma za ushauri wa hali ya hewa zilizowekwa ndani kutokana na vizuizi kama vile kupenya polepole kwa teknolojia au kutojua kusoma na kuandika kwa dijiti. <eng>
Imarika is a conversational chatbot offering digital climate advisory services in English and Swahili that will support smallholder farmers to adapt to changing weather patterns. The project aims to address the vulnerability of farmers to weather unpredictability due to the lack of accessible, reliable, and localized weather forecasts. Access to weather information is highly variable across sub-Saharan Africa and is usually limited to low-accuracy national or regional forecasts broadcast on radio andor TV. The project specifically hopes to serve smallholder farmers who often have limited access to localized climate advisory services due to barriers such as slow technology penetration or digital illiteracy.
