The PACC - RRC project was designed by WMO and two of its Regional Training Centers (AGRHYMET and IBIMET - CNR) to build the capacities of experts in National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, other national technical services, specialized agencies and other public and private institutions in the 17 member states of CILSS/ECOWAS (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea - Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo ). Four training courses have been organized in the target service areas of Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction. The recipients improved their kills through training courses and enhanced their networking capacity through follow - up actions and post - course activities.
As a final project activity, a networking conference will be organized in Rome, Italy, on 4 and 5 February 2019. The conference will gather those in high - levels of responsibility in the Ministries to which NMHS belong and coordinate with, as well as the Directors of meteorological Services of the Region. The conference will further promote the strategic collaboration of involved countries with WMO and Italy. The aim of this conference is to enhance technical and scientific cooperation among National Meteorological Services and to promote strategic collaboration on capacity development, in the perspective of providing operational climatic services for disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change in agriculture and other key sectors.
