Strategic Plan (2012-2015)
Strategic Thrust 3Expected Result 6
Strategic Plan (2012-2015)
Strategic Thrust 3 encompasses: • The need to improve infrastructure and
systems operated by NMHSs• The need to improve human resources
Strategic Plan (2012-2015)
The main objectives of Strategic Thrust are to
a) Focus attention on the education and training needs of NMHSs
b) Increase awareness of the socio-economic benefits of NMHSs
c) Assist NMHS managers in effective communication with stakeholders
d) Assess and address NMHS training needse) Expand the number of strategic partnershipsf) Enhance resource mobilization

WMO Strategy on Education and Training in Hydrology and Water Resources (2009-2012) is in place
Objectives of the Strategy are to:a) Assist Members in assessing their own
education and training needs in HWR;b) Provide adequate education and training to
personnel of the NHSs;c) Assist Members in developing/updating
national curricula in HWR;d) Optimize the use of available resources and
mobilize extrabudgetary resources.

The goals of the GAW capacity-building efforts are to:
a) Conduct GAW training and education activities in developing countries for “start-up” training and beyond including workshops
b) Promote twinning relationships between countries with less experienced station personnel and established atmospheric scientists

CBSCIMOCHyCASCAeMCAgMCClJCOMM
Abridged report,2010
A Coordinated and WMO-wide effort required to successfully implement the Standards for the qualification and competencies of personnel in AeM.
Essential CB components for implementation would be
a) A combination of approached (train the trainers, blended learning etc)
b) Resource mobilizationc) Intensive cooperation with training institutionsd) Intelligent use of modern communication

A comprehensive CB strategy and implementation plan needed.
CCl CB strategy should have the following core components:
a) Institutional mandate in climatologyb) Establishing and strengthening climate infrastructurec) Human resource developmentd) Qualification and certification of climatologists
Approacha) Resource mobilizationb) Development of an action plan

Overall• Capacity building for policy makers• Development on human and institutional
resources in NMHSs.
Areas for Capacity BuildingObservation, analysis and application of weather,
water and climate information to development
Regional approach would be beneficial.

RA IV strategic plan aims toa) develop resources and expertise to produce
weather services and products b) develop climate servicesc) strengthen services related to: disaster
mitigation and prevention; environmental monitoring; hydrology and water-related assessment and management
d) Upgrade and modernize their services including infrastructure, technology and human resources
RA IV Strategic Plan 2011-2014
Regional Association VRA IRA IIRA IIIRA IVRA VRA VI
Regional Outcomes corresponding to WMO Expected Results 6.
• Regional and national meteorological and hydrological services are more effective
• Education and Training Development activities at national and regional levels are improved
• Donor funding is coordinated and effective
RA V Strategic and Operating Plan 2012-2015
Regional Association VIRA IRA IIRA IIIRA IVRA VRA VI
There is a need to build capacity in order to meet the increasing demands for more comprehensive services, and CB will be done by
a) Assessing the gaps in knowledge and capabilities to meet requirements;
b) Setting up the appropriate collective actions/projects to fill the gaps;
c) Ensuring that the Region and its NMHSs have the right people with the right skills to achieve their objectives.
