continue Rainfall: It ranges between 500 mm along the Limpopo valley to 1000 mm in the Eastern Highlands.

Cont Temperatures Annual maximum temperatures ranges between 22 0 C in the Eastern Highlands (Nyanga etc) to 32 0 C in the lowveld. Mean annual minimum temperatures ranges between 10 0 C in the Highveld to 16 0 C in the lowveld

Meteorological Services Department The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) is a department in the Ministry of Environment, Water and Climate in the Government of Zimbabwe responsible for providing weather, climate and seismic data to a diversity of stakeholders including the farming community, aviation industry, academic fraternity and the mining sector among others.

Cont  Number of Staff: 222 in post, Approved structure 257  Annual Budget: 2.8m USD, released USD.  Range of products and Services: - Agromet Bulletins - Rainfall Bulletins - Seasonal Forecasts - Weather Forecasts (General)

cont - Cloud Seeding - Severe Weather warnings - Lightning/Hail/Storm Confirmation certificates - Seismic Risk Assessments for the Mining industry and Dam construction - Aviation Weather Services - Specialized Forecasts for Event Management

cont Estimated Costs of MSDZ  Observing Systems- USD  Forecasting- USD  Climatology- USD  Support Stuff- USD  Training - USD  Construction works- USD  Cloud Seeding- USD

cont  The MSD makes a significant contribution to economic benefit to the Aviation industry but still needs to do more in seismology.  The MSD requires seismic testing equipment to enable it to carry out seismic assessments, a Meteo Factory to enable it to produce quality products and services and Super computer for modeling.  MSD is wholly funded by the Government of Zimbabwe and has not received any support from donors or MDBs to purchase capital.

Expectations from workshop At the end of the training workshop I hope I will have gained knowledge in how to value weather and climate, Economic assessment of Met Services and be able to public and incorporate the concepts and methodologies related to Socio-Economic Benefits assessments. with this knowledge I will be able to carry out Socio-Economic Benefit studies in my country.
