Stocktaking of climate, weather, and water services in Southern Africa
August 2021
Southern Africa is highly vulnerable to extreme weather, climate and water-related events. In collaboration with the World Bank and Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat, the current climate, weather and water services were assessed in the region and developed an investment plan for early warning services.
Royal HaskoningDHV, in collaboration with Aqualinks Research & Implementation and Weather Impact, was tasked to take stock of the hydromet services in the SADC Member States, investigate the academic and private sector engagement in the region and use these insights to develop an investment plan to strengthen early warnings services in the Southern Africa region.
This comprehensive work allows governments and international organizations to structure their future investments in the hydromet sector and early warning systems in Southern Africa.
