2nd Africa Partner Coordination Meeting (ONLINE)
A large number of development partners are committed to supporting weather, water, and climate information services (WWCIS) across Africa through projects and initiatives. In order to ensure that these initiatives provide optimal support, it is important to openly discuss current and future initiatives, plans and approaches to ensure coordination, reduce duplication and improve the ability to deliver in a sustainable manner. In this regard, in March 2021, the 1st Africa Partner Coordination Meeting brought together development partners which support WWCIS across Africa. A key outcome of the meeting was the decision for WMO to develop the Africa Partner Coordination Mechanism (APCM), which has now been established. Building on the development of the APCM, the 2nd Africa Partner Coordination Meeting will take place virtually from 4-6 May 2022. The meeting will once again provide a platform for development partners to collaborate on specific programmes and topics and provide an update of WMO Member challenges, needs and priorities from different perspectives.
