The main focus of the project is on building the capacity of the National Meteorological Service and strengthening its cooperation with key sectoral ministries, departments and other stakeholders working in the above areas to put in place complete systems that deliver warnings and relevant information to end-users. This is achieved through developing capabilities on data management, observation network monitoring and control, implementation of analysis, monitoring and forecast tools for weather and climate early warning, as well as strengthening the interface with information users. Enhancement of these basic capabilities are complemented with support for integration of early warnings into national processes. The project draws on advanced technical expertise from cooperating institutions to ensure access to relevant data, products, tools, training and equipment.
