WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) and its Implementation at National Level ZIMBABWE Amos Makarau At the WMO/RAI Workshop on WIGOS 2-4 November 2015 in Walvis Bay, NAMIBIA

WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) at National Level What does WIGOS mean at a National Level? Demonstrating national leadership in observations Compliance with WMO TR (WMO-No. 49) – standard and recommended practices and procedures Culture change and change management N-WIGOS must be aligned with National needs/priorities(strategic and operational)

National leadership through WIGOS WIGOS provide means and opportunities: To enhance national observing networks for benefit of all users To enhance sharing and accessibility of observations To reinforce central role of MSD through partnerships & a network of networks To strengthen national mandate and authority

Enablers for successful WIGOS Implementation in Zimbabwe Partnerships with stakeholders/organisations ((benefits include sharing of expertise, cost implications, data and information for, among others, early warning, monitoring of evolution of systems. ) Acceptance/understanding of the WIGOS concept by all stakeholders Win-win concept to be at the forefront (highlighting benefits as well as opportunity costs e.g. costs, optimisation, containment, reliability of observations) Commitment & engagement & support to WIGOS & its implementation at a national level (ownership) Building trust among all partners Success stories/ demonstration projects

Issues to consider Compliance with Minamata Agreement on banning of mercury Equipment calibration and maintenance All stations to be added to the synoptic network should comply with WMO requirements and be given station identifiers Collaboration and consultations are critical, including across political boundaries

Status of observations by organisations in Zimbabwe 1. Identified our shortcomings: o Observational networks/systems not sustainable and stable o Design and planning not coordinated o Lack of compliance with set standards o Inconsistence in data formats o Lack of maintenance and calibration/ metrology o Lack of appropriately qualified staff for installing, observing and 2. Identified possible areas of cooperation o Disaster Risk Reduction o Climate Change o Resource pressures and accountability o Observing technology 3. Collaborations initiated

WIGOS Collaborations in Zimbabwe The Department has signed a number of MOUs in the field of climate change. The following are the current partners:  ICRIST is one of the partners working with the department to come up with drought resistant crops for the semi-arid regions.  It also signed an MOU with OXFAM has received three AWS and established community climate observing stations in 15 wards in the following districts Gutu, Chirumanzu and Zvishavane. The Department is also giving three day forecast directly to the communities involved in this project.  ZIMNAT and MSD are in partnership under a weather insurance index project, with 17 Automatic Weather Stations installed in various parts of the country

WIGOS Collaborations in Zimbabwe (continued)  The Department has signed an MOU with the largest mobile network service provider ECONET under a project Ecofarmer; focusing on crop insurance, consultancies on the installation and maintenance of meteorological equipment. Another MOU for the Weather Online project is under discussion.  Among others MSD is also working with the following organisations in the implementation of WIGOS: o Department of Agricultural Technical and Extension Services o Zimbabwe National Water Authority o National Parks and Wildlife Zimbabwe

MSD Synoptic & Climate Stations

MSD Automatic Weather Stations

Network of Networks

Ongoing activities o Assessment of existing stations for compliance with set standards and interoperability o Station identifiers and metadata o Establishment of more cooperation with stakeholders o Data policy formulation for data sharing

THANK YOU!!!
