Vision 2020: Operational National Chains of Climate Services Linking Climate Knowledge to Action


Step 1: National Baseline Capacity Assessment for Development of Climate Services

Step 2: National Consultation on Climate Services, Development of NHMS Strategic Plan

Step 3: Participatory Inter-sectoral Development of National Action Plan for the Establishment of a National Framework for Climate Services

Step 4: National Action Plan Endorsement workshop (High level)

Step 5: Launch of National Framework for Climate Services, Operational implementation of priority activities, rigorous M&E

Burkina Faso: Priority Climate Service Needs

Priority climate services to be delivered - Agriculture & Food Security: Downscaled seasonal outlook (onset and cessation, duration and intra-seasonal distribution) Site- and crop- specific agro-meteorological advisories across time-scales Early warning to guide agricultural production (dry spells, extreme rain events, out of season rainfall) - Water: Forecasts and projections of river basins across time scales for the hydroelectric sector Evapotranspiration potential Flood forecasting for main riverways (mostly around Ouaga and other key economic centers)

- Energy: Wind potential atlas Insolation (solar radiation) data in specific sites to guide calibration of planned government solar installations across the country as part of new national development plan

- DRR: Multi-hazard early warning system for all climate related hazards Training of disaster managers / development of SOPs for setting the alarm from national to local levels through the designated national authority (CONASUR)

- Health: Prediction of the occurrence, peaks, spatio-temporal dynamics and behaviour of climate-dependent diseases Special bulletins for malaria prevention (and other water-related vector-borne diseases) Special bulletins for meningitis (dust episodes monitoring) - Transport/Infrastructure: Extreme temperature historical records over the past 30 years Historical record of extreme rain events over the past 100 years (including out of season rains) Humidity and wind speed/direction Precipitation intensity historical record

Burkina Faso: Emerging Priorities for Action



Component 1-a: For the generation of quality hydro meteorological information •Densification of the meteorological observation network and improving data collection (WMO/GEO?) •Human/technical capacity strengthening of the NMS/DGM (WMO?) •Densification of the hydrological observation system (?) •Human and technical capacity strengthening of the NHS (DGRE) •Development of common hydro meteorological database for the purposes of climate services – Bridging Gap between DGM and DGRE (WMO CREWS) Debating user needs vs.

Burkina Faso: Priorities for Action (cont’d)



• Component 1-b: For the co-design, co-development of user tailored climate services

• Creation of the GTP-Elargi: a space for collaboration between DGM, DGPRE and sector technical experts, for the co-production of decadal forecast-based advisories tailored to the needs of each priority sector (national partners)

• Establishment of an integrated multi-sector EWS (CREWS) • Inscription of a budget line item for the operations of the

GTP-Enlarged within the national budget (about $12,000 per annum) (Ministry of Transport)

Burkina Faso: Priorities for Action (cont’d)



Component 2: For effective Communication and access to climate services by final users at national scale •Development of a climate services communication strategy, defining an information communication flowchart from the GTP-Elargi to intermediary users and final end users (WMO/NORCAP?) •Media trainings, improved partnership with public / private media groups / Rural radio trainings (FAO?) •Trainings for rural intermediaries (rural extension agents, field-based NGOs and CBOs) (WFP?) •Public-private partnerships with mobile telecommunication companies to scale up delivery via SMS and voicemails (UNDP?) •Network of communicators dedicated to climate information communication broadcasting in local languages (WMO?)

Burkina Faso: Priorities for Action (final)

Component 3: For capacity strengthening of users to understand and act on received climate services, as well as provide feedback on quality of services received •Trainings of final users on the possible uses to make of received climate services (ministry national policy makers across climate sensitive sectors; farmer and pastoralist trainings) (WHO?) •Inclusion of climate training modules into national training curricula for students/teachers across primary, secondary and university education establishments (UNITAR?)

Component 4: For defining an institutional framework to govern Burkina Faso’s National Framework for Climate Services: •Elevating DGM into an autonomous National Meteorological Agency •Establishment of the National framework by decree (UN ResRep)

Recommendations

1. To Achieve a Transformative Agenda > Donor coordination, Common Climate Services Delivery Framework fundamental – vital role of GFCS to bring together multiple actors and funding streams at

regional and national levels

2. Strong leadership of the NHMSs needed 3. Buy-in of all stakeholders into the National Action Planning

Process, Common Delivery Plan on Climate Services 4. User interface platforms, key to sustained delivery of user-

tailored services (e.g., the GTPs, NARCOFs) 5. Partnership with ECOWAS to establish a Regional Framework for

Climate Services.

Our struggle for coherence continues…
