Institutional Support and Capacity Building for Weather and Climate Services

Institutional Support and Capacity Building for Weather and Climate Services

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) collaborates with the Ethiopian Meteorological Institute under the Sarepta project, which began in 2023. This project focuses on institutional support and capacity building for weather and climate services in Ethiopia. Its primary goal is to improve the quality of weather forecast and climate services, thereby enhancing the country’s preparedness and prevention capacity against weather variability and extremes. The collaboration includes implementing and using weather forecasting tools, training meteorologists and IT personnel, and employing various statistical tools and verification methods.
