PROCESS AND ESSENTIAL STEPS
WMO OMM
WMO Strategy for Capacity
Development : Why?
Establish a CD Strategy to ensure, in a holistic
approach, all actors in Met/Hydro/Climate work
towards the same overall objective :
Facilitating sustainable
development of NMHS

WMO Strategy for Capacity
Development : Why?
Resolution Cg-XVI/B/WP 11.2
• Congress noted that a coordinated and cohesive approach for capacity
development would be needed to enhance capabilities of NMHSs in
developing countries to meet growing Societal Needs at different
levels.
• Congress noted that capacity building is a crosscutting activity and
contributes to all Expected Results (ER), especially ER 6 and
Strategic Thrust 3 of the 2012-2015 Strategic Plan.

Roles of National Meteorological
Services
• NMHSs own and operate
most of the infrastructure that
is needed for providing the
weather, climate, water and
related environmental
services, including observing
systems, data management,
prediction, communications
and data exchange, etc.
• GFCS will contribute to the
further development of this
capability by working with the
NMHSs.

Profile of climate service providers
WMO OMM
4 areas of competencies in Capacity
Building (as articulated by HLT-GFCS)
• Human resource capacity
– equipping individuals with the understanding, skills, information,
knowledge and training to enable them to generate, communicate and use
decision-relevant climate information;
• Infrastructural capacity
– enabling access to the resources that are needed to generate, archive
and use climate data and decision-relevant information, including
observing networks, data management systems, computer hardware and
software, internet, manuals and scientific literature;
• Procedural capacity
– defining, implementing and advancing best practices for generating and
using climate information;
• Institutional capacity
– elaborating management structures, processes and procedures that
enable effective climate services, not only within organizations but also in
managing relationships between the different organizations and sectors
(public, private and community, including international collaboration).

Areas to be considered by CDS
WMO OMM
Recommendations from Resolution Cg-XVI/B/WP 11.2
Evaluate sustainability
and impact of projects
Tailor NMHSs products
and services
Ensure national ownership
and consistency with
NAPAs
Improve compliance to
WMO standards
Assess Members
capabilities
Ensure capacity
development activities
are scalable
Include GFCS, aviation,
WIGOS/WIS and DRR activities
Integrate regional
requirements as key element
for coordination and advocacy
CDS
Provide and encourage
volunteerism and bilateral
cooperation

Now.. Questions?
Assuming this is a good representation
of the process needed to build the
capacities of NMHSs, careful analysis
at each step could lead to the
development of an appropriate
strategy for development?
WMO OMM
What’s next?
This process could be used to prepare a Strategy for
the development of NMHS Capacity:
a SWOT could be done at each step for example to
determine areas needed to complete the process.
We want your assistance….
WMO OMM
But,
We propose to use this process to assess
WMO in its ability to help NMHSs develop
their capacity….
- What we do well we need to do better….
