WHY?
Climate services often do not reach the
people who need to make “on-the-ground”
decisions.
WHAT?
UIP promotes mainstreaming of climate
information into the decision-making process.
UIP is a structured means for users, and
providers to interact

• Feedback - Identify the optimal methods for
obtaining feedback from user communities;
• Dialogue - Build dialogue between climate service
users and those responsible for the observation,
research and information system pillars of the
Framework;
• Outreach - Improve climate literacy in the user
community;
• Evaluation - Develop monitoring and evaluation
measures for the Framework that are agreed
between users and providers.

Provides the coordination and collaboration mechanism that will bring all relevant national stakeholders together in a permanent dialogue with a view to identify needs and priorities for
addressing the entire value chain for the production and application of climate services

• Communication and Outreach
• Advocacy

• The NFCS would be led by an existing national institution
• The NFCS would have a Steering Committee with the following main functions: o Decision making on issues identified by the NFCS
o Provide overall guidance and oversight to the work of the NFCS
o Advocate at the appropriate levels and structures the need and value of climate services

• Continuously identifying user needs for climate services • Communicating available climate products and services to
users in the relevant sectors • Obtaining feedback from users on climate products and
services • Identifying bottlenecks in improved delivery of climate
services • Making policy recommendations to the NFCS Steering
Committee • Considering appropriate mechanism for developing
climate services • Establishing communication channels with relevant
existing national coordination structures which function well (i.e. Disaster Risk Reduction platforms, etc).
