Communication of timely and relevant information on climate change risks through credible sources is essential for mobilizing farmers to take actions to adapt for climate change. An informed farming society is better able to prepare for likely occurrence of climate disaster. The results of the study revealed that radio, extension workers, friends and relatives are the major sources of information on climate change and Climate Smart Agricultural Technologies. Farmers identified information needs on major areas of Climate change and Climate Smart Agricultural Technologies, among them effects of climate change, crops adaptable to climate change, Adaptation strategies, Flood/erosion control practices and Alternative/complementary livelihood activities are most important areas. The study recommended organizing capacity building programmes related to Climate Smart Agricultural technologies, timely generation and dissemination of information on climate change issues as strategies for enhancing adaptation to climate change.
