1 Weather and climate Information SERvices for Africa (WISER) Joseph D. Intsiful, WISER Pan-African Lead, ACPC, UNECA

2 Background and focus Expected results Implementation Summary and conclusion Contents

3 Background and Focus

4 Strategic and Unique Value of WISER Integrated, strategic suite of activities that together can transform weather and climate information services: Seamless suite of activities, including investing in the end to end delivery of services Increasing efficiencies through regional coordination and collaboration Working with the Integrated African Strategy on Meteorology: provides a framework for coordination, particularly through strengthening the enabling environment for climate services (SP1); enhancing the production and delivery of weather and climate services (SP2) and; building partnerships (SP 5). WISER being demand-driven rather than science-driven GBP 35 million of funding

5 WISER Programme Areas 5

6 WISER Programme Components WISER will map user needs and address these through a range of activities across all five barriers identified by the scoping study. WISER will work through four workstreams to address these barriers

7 Expected Results

8 Strengthen African regional strategies to improve the governance of and enabling environment for weather and climate services Establish a regional strategic framework and national action plans for improving climate services developed in partnership with users; with high-level buy-in and appropriate principles. At least 100m of government and donor funding coordinated in support of Strategic Framework. At least 10 studies demonstrating the economic and social benefits of climate services At least 5 countries with freer data sharing policy and regionally coordinated national plans for expanding observations, data rescue and digitisation

9 Supporting the improved generation and use of weather and climate services through R&D At least 30 peer-reviewed papers assessing the reliability of forecasts, innovation and last-mile delivery. At least 10 new products and services developed and rated as useful or better by users; for example, mobile public warning systems for severe weather. At least 50 African scientists benefit from professional development.

10 Strengthen collaboration between global, regional and national met service providers to strengthen and support climate services At least 3 regional and national Climate Outlook Forum processes initiated or strengthened At least 3 partnerships to deliver weather and climate information rated by stakeholders as useful At least 8 service agreements in place for global-regional centres and regional-national centres At least 6 RCCs and Met Offices use data from global centres to generate better climate services

11 Modernise national Met Offices and their collaborators to deliver an improved service At least 5 Met Offices delivering improved services through co-production with users. At least 5 Met Offices have modernised their climate services, with improved observations networks and credible plans for operation and maintenance At least 50 decision makers trained and report improved use of weather and climate information. At least 10 improved climate service co-produced with users reported as effective and on time by stakeholders. At least 20 new interagency agreements to strengthen climate services (e.g. MoUs or service level agreements between Met Offices and line ministries)

12 PROPOSED FRAMEWORK FOR VALUE FOR MONEY AND THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS APPRAISAL FOR WISER The framework is underpinned by the 3 Es: Economy (spending less) Efficiency (spending well) Effectiveness (spending wisely) The framework has been developed to capture five components: Value for money; Socio-economic benefits; Transformational impact; ICF indicators and; Monitoring evaluation and learning (MEL). 01/12/2016

13 Implementation

14 Pan-African Implementation by ACPC Pillar 1: Strengthening African regional strategies and enabling environment for climate and weather services in Africa: through supporting the implementation plan of the Integrated African Strategy on Meteorology, and working closely with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the African Ministerial Cooperation on Meteorology (AMCOMET). Pillar 2: Support improved generation and use of climate information services: Support delivery of sector specific climate and water services in Africa to ensure food security, improved water resource management, disaster risk reduction and better health Pillar 3: Enhanced the implementation of the Climate Research for Development (CR4D): CR4D is an African-led research coordination and funding initiative established by ACPC (Host), WMO and AMCOMET

15 Outcomes and Outputs Outcome 1: Strengthening African regional strategies and enabling environment for climate and weather services in Africa: Output 1.1: Produce a consolidated baseline report on needs and gaps in RCCs (WMO) Output 1.2: Produce in collaboration with WMO a standardized methodology for CIS needs assessment and business planning in NHMS (WMO) Output 1.3: Assess the socio-economic value of CI and CIS for various sectors Output 1.4: Train and build capacity for parliamentarians, AGN, civil society, private sector, lawyers, gender groups, other policy makers and legislators on CI and CIS Output 1.5 : Implementation of the pilot phase of the ACPC Pan- African fellowship programme Output 1.6: Knowledge management, communication and dissemination

16 Outcome 2: Enhanced the implementation of the Climate Research for Development (CR4D) Output 2.1: Develop CR4D Grant Management Mechanism Support capacity of networks and regional bodies to promote effective use of weather and climate services in West, East, Southern and Central Africa Develop baseline information and needs for climate information and services in key GFCS sectors at S2S scale for West, East, Southern and Central Africa Identify research and data sets needed to develop and improve S2S forecasts tailored to users in key GFCS sectors over West, East, Southern and Central Africa Develop methodologies and metrics for assessing the utility of S2S information (socio-economic benefits) Initiate impact assessment of 2 degree global warming

19 ClimDev Africa Special Fund (CDSF) Investment arm of the ClimDev-Africa program jointly implemented by the African Union Commission (AUC), the African Development Bank and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). Operational in August 2014 as a multi-donor trust fund established to support member states and RECs with three main areas of focus: Generation, wide dissemination and use of reliable and high quality climate information for development in Africa; Capacity enhancement of policy makers and policy support institutions through the generation of quality analysis and evidence on climate change for use in development planning and actions; and Implementation of pilot adaptation practices that demonstrate the value of mainstreaming climate information in development planning and practices

20 Governance and Operations CDSF governance Policy and strategic guidance provided by the ClimDev-Africa Steering Committee chaired by AUC CDSF Coordination Unit is managed by the Coordinator supported by a team of professional and support staff liaising closely with the ClimDev-Africa Secretariat (ACPC) Currently capitalized to euro 33 million

21 Accessing ClimDev Funds Faster project approval process: Projects valued at euro 500,000 or less are approved by the Director; Projects valued above 500,000 to euro 1 million are approved by the Vice President Projects valued between euro 1 million to euro 2 million are approved by the President. ClimDev Africa Special Fund (CDSF) above euro 2 million are approved by the Board of Directors. Capacity building support to the institutions on project implementation and fiduciary management assures resource utilization efficiency and effectiveness in delivering results on the ground First call in 2014 received 99 concept notes from 28 African countries In December 2014 approved 1 million euro to support the Ethiopian meteorological agency enhance early warning service and advisories
