Additional financing to the ongoing project: Seamless operational forecast systems and technical assistance for capacity building in Western Africa
The project improves operational multi-hazard forecast systems (severe weather, floods and climate extremes) in the Sahel and West Africa region, underpinned by on-going observations and continuously updated historical data, robust forecasting systems, as well as related knowledge.
It further supports CREWS-related activities in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Niger, Togo, and other countries in the region, through enhanced capacity of regional centers to support national level provision of warning services. In addition, WMO and WBG will jointly implement capacity building activities in Sierra Leone, which is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change.
