Support the strengthening of national capacity to deliver climate, hydrometeorological and early warning services in selected sectors and communities (CREWS Chad)
Project background
CREWS resources contributes to the improvement of the Government of Chad’s early warning services for drought, flooding and other severe climate and weather-related events by enhancing the capacities of national services in charge of meteorology and climate, hydrology, civil protection, and food security and piloting selected products, which could be replicated and scaled up by larger investment projects. To this scope, CREWS resources leverages additional financing in the area of hydromet and early warning systems by development partners, such as the World Bank Group, the Green Climate Fund and others from within the Africa Hydromet Program.
Objective(s)
To strengthen the national capacity to deliver climate, hydrometeorological and early warning services in selected sectors and communities.
Outputs
The project will strengthen hydrological and meteorological services through five main outputs:
- Improve seasonal and sub seasonal forecasting and decision support for agriculture and pastoralism at the national level
- Develop a capacity building plan and increased capacity in climate prediction, hazard detection, monitoring, forecasting and warning, multi-hazard early warning systems, flood forecasting, climate data management, GIS and remote sensing, operational meteorology and hydrology.
- Pilot products for EWS for flood and food security in selected areas
- Provision of scientific and technical advisory services to NMHSs
- Direct support for project implementation
