  2. Outline WMO • WMO Implementation Process • Why Regional Plan (RP) is needed • RP Components • RP Characteristics • RA VI WIS Roadmap 2

  3. WMO Implementation Process WMO • WMO Convention: • Members need to work together to coordinate, standardize, improve and encourage efficiencies in the exchange of meteorological, climatological, hydrological and related information between them, in the aid of human activities. • WMO, as a specialized agency of UN on weather, climate and water, is a standard-making organization • Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) approved by Congress or EC, become implementable decisions for all Members 3

  4. WMO Implementation Process WMO • WMO Convention: • Art 9 (a): All Members shall do their utmost to implement the decisions of Congress; • Art 9 (b): If, however, any Member finds it impracticable to give effect to some requirement in a technical resolution adopted by Congress, such Member shall inform the Secretary-General of the Organization whether its inability to give effect to it is provisional or final, and state its reasons. • WMO General Regulations: • Reg 202: The general functions of the Secretariat shall be: • … • (8) To maintain records of the extent to which each Member implements the decisions of the Organization; 4

  7. WIS Implementation planning WMO • WIS is a WMO-wide system with participation of all Members and with interfaces to external bodies. The planning process should encompass three levels: • Global Plan; • Regional Plan; • National Plan. • Preconditions for successful implementation: • Well developed SARPs and guidance for their implementation: • What, Who, When – SARPs (Doc. 1060 – WIS Manual) • How – Guidance (Doc. 1061 – WIS Guide) 7

  8. RA VI WIS RP Outline WMO • Why Regional Plan? • Harmonization and synchronization of the implementation effort – efficiency, speed • Clear determination of roles and responsibilities in accordance with the regional scenario • Capacity development through regional cooperation – transfer of knowledge and know-how from developed to developing part of the Region • Regional Plans should be harmonized to achieve global harmonization 8

  9. RA VI RP Outline WMO • Elements of the Regional Plan: • WIS Regional Structure – designation of centres • Areas of responsibility • Timelines for implementation • Back-ups, contingencies • Capacity development – training, technical assistance • Monitoring and evaluation 9

  10. RA VI WIS RP Outline WMO • Characteristics of the Regional Plan: • Action oriented – Clearly defined tasks • Composed of SMART tasks • Simple • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timebound • Ensure Region-wide implementation – all 50 RA VI Members to see their roles and required actions 10

  11. RA VI WIS RP Roadmap WMO • Milestones: • This workshop – kick-off of the regional implementation; RA VI WIS Implementation Plan Outline • 2nd Meeting of WG/TDI – 15-16 Dec 2011 – to review and give further directions to the RP • TT/WIS to develop the final draft – mid February 2012 • RA Management Group Meeting – Feb/Mar 2012 – to approve the Plan; President of RA VI to circulate the Plan to all Members and relevant organizations • 16th RA VI Session – Sep 2013, Belgrade: Major progress review – expectations are that the WIS implementation in RA VI would be nearly completed by that time 11

  12. RA VI WIS RP Facilitation WMO • Technical Assistance • Training • Website • Forums • Further Guidance from WMO Secretariat, CBS • Support from Industry 12

  13. Summary WMO • RA VI will implement WIS as a concerted effort of all its 50 Members • Approved Regional Implementation Plan expected in 1Q 2012 • National Plans to be aligned with the Regional Plan • Monitoring and Evaluation – KPIs to be developed • Proactive participation of Members – timely reporting of any difficulties encountered in order to ensure adequate remedy actions. • Fail to plan = Plan to fail 13
