Abstract
Hydrometeorological investments have
trended an overall rise since the mid-1990s when the World
Bank’s (WB) investments in National Meteorological and
Hydrological Service (NMHSs) were structured as small-scale
activities, and have gradually shifted toward developing
more complete systems. This guidebook aims to provide a
structured basis to approach the task of transforming and
developing capacities of national meteorological and
hydrological services in the WB client countries. The
guidebook’s primary focus is to help the World Bank task
teams and development partners working with national
governments to strengthen NMHSs’ capabilities in producing
and delivering services required by the governments,
stakeholders, partners, and users. The guidebook will also
serve to explain the process of transformation to NMHSs’
managers and staff. It also intends to help development
institutions that are committed to NMHSs’ support through
the Alliance for Hydromet Development launched at the
Conference of the Parties (COP25) in December 2019.
