3. 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

4. WMO OMM 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.

8. WMO OMM 8 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.

11. WMO OMM 11 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).

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

19. WMO OMM 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?

20. 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.

21. WMO OMM We want your assistance…. 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….

22. WMO OMM SWOT on WMO assistance to NMHS Assistance to build….. Human resource capacity –equipping individuals with the understanding, skills, information, knowledge and training to enable them to generate, communicate and use decision-relevant meteorological, hydrological and climate information; Infrastructural capacity –enabling access to the resources that are needed to generate, archive and use 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 meteorological, hydrological and climate information; Institutional capacity –elaborating management structures, processes and procedures that enable effective meteorological, hydrological and climate information, not only within organizations but also in managing relationships between the different organizations and sectors (public, private and community, including international collaboration).
