Abstract
The purpose of this report is to present
the results of an assessment of national weather, climate,
and hydrological services in Central Asia and to present a
program to improve these services. The report is based on
the findings of three country assessments - the Kyrgyz
Republic, the Republic of Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan - and
supporting regional documentation. These and other countries
that form the Central Asian region share common concerns,
regarding economic development and the vulnerability of
their economies and people to weather, climate, and
hydrological extremes. National assessments are based on
evaluations of weather, climate, and hydrological hazards;
key users’ needs; national hydro meteorological services’
(NMS) capacities; and potential economic benefits from
improvement of hydro meteorological service delivery. The
results of this global facility for disaster reduction and
recovery (GFDRR) work and summary report will contribute
directly to the development of the regional initiative to
improve weather, climate, and hydrological service delivery
in the Central Asia.
