Strategy • Biggest challenge: lack of capacities => Efforts focused on capacity development • Establishment of a Climate Change Information Centre (CICC) at the National University which serves as a portal to host and manage robust information => data is anchored in a permanent institutional context with an open access to all stakeholders • Crossing of raw climate data and socio economic data • Capitalization on regional expertise and expertise of international experts
Whatwasachieved • Physical infrastructure for access to raw data: • HPC server set up • Deployment of a grid consisting of 12(6 acquired /6 ordered) meteorological, climatic and hydrological automated stations, connected to a GPRS/GSM network, to transfer collected data • Setting up of the Internet system (wireless & white space) for basic integrated management of climate data on the server • Analytical data • Sectorial vulnerability assessments • Mapping of risks and extremes • Institutional infrastructure • Setting up a technical committee composed of members of the University and Meteorological services directorate • Establishment of the COCC at the university • Human infrastructure • Identification and training of 5 engineer and technicians at Trieste based ICTP (Italy) and in Congo on the usage of systems • Training on the economics of adaptation
Nextsteps =>Installation of 12 stations on the sites identified by the national meteorological services (ANAC) • Installation of the Wireless and ‘White Spaces’ internet systems • Make the CC Information Centre operational • Through the acquisition of the additional systems required to set up the early warning system, it is important to: • follo- up on risks and follow on risk related information and • ii) a project focusing on the integration of the cost benefit analysis in public expenditure frameworks
Apprentissages • Capacity development an absolute pre-requisite to develop any integrated architecture aimed at informing policy • Institutional set-up/anchoring: • There is a greater capacity at the university level, limiting any institutional & political risk=> need to officialise the joint committee (university/Met services) • Activities to be pursued by the national Environment protection agency • CIC institutional arrangement should have been spelt out from the start
