2 WMO Executive Council called to develop Capacity Development Strategy Resolution 49, Cg-16 Congress requested the Executive Council to establish a Capacity Development Strategy to ensure, in a holistic approach, all actors in Met/Hydro/Climate work towards the same overall objective : Facilitating sustainable development of NMHSs EC-64 Approval of the Capacity Development Strategy (CDS) EC-65 Approval of CDS Implementation Plan (CDSIP) 2

3 EC Working Group on Capacity Development January 2013 December 2011 CDS & draft CDSIP CDSIP 3

4 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

5 Capacity Development Strategy (CDS) and its Implementation Plan ECWG-CD developed the draft CDS and draft Implementation Plan based on the outcomes of its first two meetings. (PTCs and PRAs also had an opportunity to comment on the CDS.) Capacity Development Strategy Implementation builds on Capacity Development Framework Implementation Plan WMO EC Working Group on Capacity Development 5

6 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 Implementation Plan 6

7 The WMO Capacity Development Strategy <Click here> 7

8 Areas of on-going focus: Build holistic view of WMO programme activities to implement Capacity Development Strategic Objectives Continue focus on services, risk mitigation and soc/econ benefit to build national and partner support Continue and expand direct country assistance (advocacy, assessments, project formulation, strategic planning) Continue and expand education and fellowships opportunities especially in priority areas Continue assistance in establishing appropriate national legal and policy frameworks Capacity Development Strategy 8

9 New areas of focus: Clarify technical standards, guidelines, practices Cultivate culture of compliance Focus assistance on compliance (esp priority areas for LDCs/SIDS) Establish mechanisms for gathering and monitoring NMHS development (Categories, CPDB, Survey) Establish consolidated baseline information Consolidate list of gaps at national, regional, global levels Use new information in seeking National and partner support as well as in the development of new priorities/goals for Clarify roles of WMO bodies and regional centers in Capacity Development Build strong project oversight (Project Coordordination Unit & Project Management Board) Strengthen regional offices: more staff in regions, regional economic groupings Engagement at regional level with ministers responsible for Meteorology and Climate Services Capacity Development Strategy 9

10 Update on E-Guide and CPDB E-Guide: The Role and Operation of Met Service (online) Role and Operation of Met Service Guide Assist Members to know about WMO Organizational Standards, Recommended practices, checklists Helpful resources Country Profile Database Country Profile Database (CPDB) Proje Assist Members to share their info with WMO community Follow the status and development needs of Members Improve planning, implementation of projects and activities Promote synergies between Members, the secretariat, cooperating partners, funding agencies and other stakeholders Assist Monitoring & Evaluation 10

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

17 Comments/Concerns on Levels of Service approach EC-64 Categories such as these could be very useful to development partners and goal setting Low category could be misunderstood as substandard Question on source of service levels/criteria Others NMHS could have different levels for weather, water, climate services NHMS not only service provider for Member How is information to be collected, used and maintained?

21 CPDB Recap Mandate by Cg 15: Gather the information collected by individual WMO Programmes and Departments Optimize the number of questionnaires sent to the Members Track the needs for assistance and development of the NMHSs to better target development resources and in applying for additional resources Ensure Members have access to the information contained in the database, especially with regard to their own country and NMHS Cg 16 added the need to find a sustainable updating mechanism.

22 CPDB Content Overview Portal shows information on per-country basis. All WMO Members have a profile page Profile page consists of different information categories (institutional, observing networks, projects,..) There are regional views of selected information as well Portal contains detailed description on how to update information Information comes from various WMO Secretariat databases

23 Country overview Member profiles Map Information Categories Update process description

24 CPDB Updates - Processes Update processes are as diverse as WMO is Information can be updated.. directly in the portal directly in external databases by filling eletronic forms (Excel, PDF) by sending signed letters WMO Departments remain resonsible for maintenance of their respective databases

25 CPDB Updates where to find update descriptions? 1. CPDB resources 2. Country Dashboard 3. iwmo (portal login)

26 CPDB Updates - support Contact the service desk at cpdb@wmo.int FAQ is available in the portal Regional Offices have basic knowledge CPDB factsheet
