  abstract = {{T}he {AMMA} ({A}frican {M}onsoon {M}ultidisciplinary {A}nalysis) project set out to better understand the geophysical processes which govern the evolution of the monsoon and provide the science needed to improve prediction and decision-support systems. {T}he control exerted by weather and climate on agronomic production, water resources and public health was studied to evaluate the potential for populations to adapt. {AMMA} made advances which have the potential to improve forecasts from weather to climate scales. {T}ranslating them into operational tools for decision making will require improvements to the observational networks, and stronger support for the organizations which generate and disseminate application forecasts.},
