Abstract. Climate change is projected to increase flood risks in western Africa. In the FANFAR project, a pre-operational early warning system (FEWS) for Africa was co-designed workshops with 50–60 stakeholders from 17 countries, adopting multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). We aimed at (i) designing FEWS African using MCDA and (ii) evaluating participatory as transdisciplinary process. To achieve first aim (i), we used methods problem structuring preference elicitation workshops. Problem included stakeholder analysis, creating 10 objectives be achieved by 11 possible configurations. Experts predicted configuration performance, which integrated preferences. tested results sensitivity analyses. Three FEWSs showed good despite uncertainty, were robust across different For it most important that produces accurate, clear, timely, accessible risk information. second (ii), clustered common characteristics of collaborative governance frameworks sustainability science literature. Our framework emphasizes issues crucial earth systems sciences, such uncertainty integrating interdisciplinary knowledge. can address both well. Other strengths are co-producing knowledge providing consistent methodology unambiguous, shared results.
