1 ClimDev-Africa Initiative Joseph D. Intsiful, Senior Climate Science Expert African Climate Policy Centre, UNECA SADC Regional Climate Information Services Workshop Victoria Falls Zimbabwe, 29Nov -2 Dec 2016
2 Content Background and perspective ClimDev-Africa CIS work Result Area I Climate Research for Development in Africa (CR4D) initiative Summary, conclusion and outlook
3 Background and perspective
4 ClimDev-Africa Vision Sustainable attainment of poverty reduction and other Development Goals in Africa through policies and decisions on practices in Africa that take full account of climate change risks and opportunities at all levels 4
5 Relevance of ClimDev-Africa Unique in that it brings climate information and development together Conceptually relevant integrates pillars of sustainable development Reinforces Africa s development agenda Political buy-in at the highest level endorsed by heads of states Combination of partners strengths: UNECA to generate knowledge and analytical inputs to inform policy; AfDB to demonstrate return on investments in climate information in order to optimize new investments in CIS; AUC to enable policy formulation and uptake at the highest level 5
6 ClimDev-Africa Programme is structured into Three Result Areas Climdev-Africa Programme Management and Functioning Result Area 1 Widely Available Climate Information, Packaging and Dissemination Result Area 2 Quality Analysis for Decision Support and Management Practice Result Area 3 Informed Decision- Making, Awareness and Advocacy 6
7 ClimDev-Africa CIS Work (Result Area I): Widely Available Climate Information, Packaging and Dissemination
8 Climate Information Services for Development Planning Local and national emergency service Governmental authorities Public emergency planning activation and response Eg: evacuation Short to medium term weather forecasts Eg tropical cyclone, storm surge, flood Local and national emergency service Construction companies Food suppliers Urban & coastal areas seasonal preparation of Stocking of constrution materials Probabilistic seasonal to inter annual forecast eg: probabilities of severity and intensity of extreme events Urban planners Local to national govt Banks Companies Long-term strategic planning Infrastructure development Land use zoning and planning Building codes Decadal climate trend analysis Legislators Adaptation planning Climate change scenarios USERS APPLICATION SERVICE Next hour to 10 days Season to year Decade Long term climate change
9 Challenges to Delivery of Climate Information Services in Africa Over 88 % of NMHS are challenged in delivering climate information services to support DRR 92% lack appropriate application software 96% need upgrading of operational infrastructure to support DRR 92% need technical training on production of climate products and services 85% say lack of effective co-ordination with other agencies involved in DRR impacts negatively on operations Significant investment required for effective delivery of CIS (at least $6mil per country) Very low capacity to assess economic utility of CIS
10 Implementation Strategy Towards an integrated and comprehensive approach Support to countries: Analysis, design and implementation of national activities Accessing, collecting and analyzing data on climate variability and change and impacts Build capacities of countries to establish and use e- infrastructure (ICT, data, tools & network of institutions) to inform decision making Establish a community of practice to sustain the established systems
11 Technical support on CIS to pilot countries - Ethiopia, Rwanda and Gambia Support to Ethiopia, Rwanda and Gambia in data rescuing, upgrading hydrometeorological observational networks, early warning and data management systems. In Ethiopia, ACPC delivered 23 high capacity computers for the NMA, 20 Automatic Water Level Recorders and remote telemetry units, 1 database management software, and technical training was providing to experts from the Department of Hydrology of the Ministry of Water and Energy In Rwanda, ACPC delivered hydro-meteorological equipment and is assisted in setting up flood early warning systems in two watersheds, as well as 19 high performance computers, 15 hard drive disks and 5 scanners, 1 high performance computer and 1 database server Also in Rwanda, ACPC has implementing a project on vulnerability and risk assessment In The Gambia, ACPC delivered 4 water level measurement stations with telemetry, 3 ground water monitoring station with telemetry and a cellular base station are procured and one system installed with remainder under installation. Flood early warning system in Gambia Hydrological network in Ethiopia The ENACTS (Enhancing National Climate Services) initiative was implemented in Rwanda and Gambia in partnership with IRI to meet the increasing demand for improved climate information and services. Vulnerability index for Rwanda
12 Making climate information widely available Africa-wide with specific focus on African SIDS Establishing a Helpdesk for technical support and services (resources and systems) Establishment of a High Resolution Continental Numerical Weather Prediction and Early Warning System to address special needs on African SIDS Capacity Building, Deployments and Direct Engineering Assistance on Wireless Communication Platforms for Climate Information and Climate Services Delivery in African SIDS Establishing Climate Services Information Systems Africa- Wide to make climate information and services widely available
13 Architecture of the Weather-on-Demand (WOD) Infrastructure: Numerical Weather Prediction & Early Warning System The WOD system is built around a database, large file systems, the WRF-Chem atmospheric model and it s utilities and services Conductor manages resources of the WOD system. GFS Fetcher downloads weather data from NOAA as it becomes available, converts it into a format suitable for the WRF-Chem weather model Modeler polls the Conductor for Tasks for running the weather model and notifies it on progress and completion. Plotter polls the Conductor for Tasks for generating weather plots
14 Major Implementations African SIDS Implementation (wind and rainfall) Guinea-Bissau Cabo Verde Sao Tome & Principe Seychelles Mauritius Comoros Pan African Implementation (Accumulated rainfall) Madagascar Implementation (Accumulated rainfall)
15 Forecasting Hurricane Fred over Cabo Verde Model forecasts Sal before and during the Hurricane

34 Africa s aquatic and marine resources remain largely unexploited and being recognised for its potential contribution to inclusive and sustainable development 38 of 54 African member states are coastal states with 90 percent of Africa s imports/exports conducted by sea Some of the global strategic gateways for international trade are in Africa underscoring its geopolitical significance Oceans have the potential to provide 400% current global energy demands The fishing sector in Tanzania is 26% more productive than the overall average, about 150% in Uganda, and more than 500% in Madagascar. This gives opportunity to linking the Blue Economy sectors, with high productivity potential, to accelerating structural transformation, primarily in Coastal and Island States in the region. The Africa s Union s (AU) Agenda 2063 states that Africa s Blue economy, which is three times the size of its landmass, shall be a major contributor to continental transformation and growth. The blue economy is referred by the AU A New Frontier of African Renaissance Over 90% of natural disasters in Africa are due to weather and climate related hazards/conditions The SAMOA Pathway articulates the unique challenges of SIDS in addressing climate variability and change and Disaster Risk and calls for urgent action to manage climate risks
35 Priorities for future activities in Result Area 1: Climate Information Services Integrate within the Early Warning System an operational DRR data and information management system and practitioners handbook for African SIDS Build strategic partnerships with CR4D, African universities and research institutions to integrate systems into their processes Explore the use of innovative emerging technologies to strengthen NMHS and RCCs operational infrastructure and human capacity Development of sub-seasonal to seasonal climate prediction system for the Indian Ocean RIM countries and its extension to the Atlantic Ocean RIM countries partnership between UNECA, UNOSAT, ISOR and WMO/GFCS
