2 Introduction Capacity development is the process of strengthening a system to increase effectiveness Four Dimensions of Capacity Development: Human resources Infrastructural capacity: hardware, software, IT, manuals, Technical Regulations, etc. Institutional capacity: a set of regulatory mechanisms, policies, mandate, strategy, partnership, etc. Procedural capacity: advance best practices, manage projects, M&E, 2

3 Sustainable NMHS improvements 8 Steps of NMHS Capacity Development Monitor & Evaluate Implement a Capacity Development Response Mobilize Resources 5 Ensure National Commitment & Support Continuous Feedback 4 Elaborate Stategic Plan 3 Analyze Gaps 2 Establish Baseline 1 Define Requirements WMO Capacity Development Strategy 3

4 Strategic Objectives WMO Capacity Development Strategy Objective 1: Define required capacities and identify deficiencies Objective 2: Increase visibility and national ownership Objective 3: Optimize Knowledge Management Objective 4: Reinforce Resource Mobilization and Project Management Objective 5: Strengthen Global, Regional and Sub-Regional Mechanisms Objective 6: Increase Education and Research Opportunities CDS Vision Mission Strategic Objectives Strategic Approaches Key Activities 4 Implementation Plan

8 Levels of Services Level of Service Category 1 - Basic Weather Services Climate Services Hydrology Services Weather observations Weather Data Management Interaction with weather data and product users Climate observations Climate Data Management Interaction with climate data and product users Hydrological observations Hydrological Data Management Interaction with hydrology data and product users Description of capacity needed to meet service level Small network of quality controlled observations Basic data processing, archiving and communication systems Little or no backup / offsite storage, or contingency options Rudimentary staff (observers and some meteorologists trained to BIP standards) No 24 /7 operation Rudimentary QMS No R&D Category 2 - Essential Medium-range (synoptic scale) forecasts and warnings Established links with media and DRR communities Seasonal Climate outlooks Climate monitoring Hydrological data products for design and operation of water supply structures Water level and flow monitoring Short-term flow forecasts (low flows) Flood forecasting Able to integrate and take observations from other parties Well-established protocols for emergencies, backup of data and minimum offsite facilities Staff (observers and meteorologists trained to BIP standards) 24/7 operation. QMS well established Access most NWP data/products from other centres Small R&D Some partnerships as junior members Category 3 Full Specialized weather products for wide range of sectors Well integrated into DRR communities and mature links with media Specialized climate products Decadal climate prediction Long-term climate projections Seasonal stream flow outlooks Specialized hydrology products Advanced observation equipment Runs own NWP suite R&D Well educated/trained staff Own training group Developed library and information services Active partnerships with NMHSs taking a leading role Category 4 - Advanced Customized weather products Weather application tools. Customized climate products Climate application tools Customized hydrology products Hydrology application tools Advanced observations Leading R&D Well developed ETR 8

9 Areas of focus Identify requirements/standards, processes, guidelines and inventory of regulatory materials, Cultivate culture of compliance in climate services Establish consolidated baseline information Consolidate list of gaps at national, regional, global levels Use new information in seeking National and Regional support Clarify roles of WMO bodies and regional centers in Capacity Development 9

10 ETR aspects: Growing challenges What are basic and recommended job competencies for climate services? How CCl is guiding climate training courses? How changes in workforce numbers and roles be addressed? Some countries unable to fully train their staff Increased demand for basic qualifications New training developments and delivery methods 10

11 Competency-based Training Programmes Competency-based training (learning needs, curriculum planning, learning activites, assessment) Competency assessment Competency and Quality Management Systems 11

12 Challenges for Climate Service Delivery Delivering Quality controlled climate products and services Increasing demand on appropriate climate applications toolkits Need for upgrading operational infrastructure to support DRR Need to fill the gap in institutional requirements at national level Need for communication skills on delivering specialized climate products and services 12

13 High Level Institutional Processes The African Ministerial Conference on Meteorology (AMCOMET), Climate for Development in Africa (ClimDev-Africa) through a tripartite arrangements of the 3 key institutions, Financial mechanisms (e.g. Adaptation Fund, Green Climate Fund, GEF, Regional Institutions) Formulate legislation designating the NMHSs as the leading authority on weather/climate service provider, 13

14 Summary and Conclusions All dimensions of CD (Infrastructural, institutional, human and procedural) need to develop in harmony, Institutional arrangements should be guided internationally but decided and driven nationally, Infrastructural focus must be on best practices and investments in affordable technologies, Climate services should get quality certified, (e.g. aviation Met.) Governance, partnership and strong Secretariat are part of institutional requirements, Without institutional arrangements: good decisions but no implementation. 14
