• Expected Supports from Other Members• Joint/twinning projects • Capacity Building • Technical support on QMS • Observations • Upgrading facilities and capabilities
• Expected Supports from the Secretariat• Financial and coordination support for regional events• Secretariat should review its methods and working mechanisms at regional level to
increase its efficiency and effectiveness• Support to develop strategic plans• Advice on available support options• Facilitation of procurement and calibration of instruments• Continued information sharing on regional activities, including capacity development
programmes of external partners (EU, etc).

Expected Outcomes from RA V-16
• The expected outcomes from RA V-16– Strengthening of regional cooperation– Preparation of an agreed strategic plan to guide the work of RA V for the next four years, including a
clear articulation of a small number of high priority work areas– Plans for improving observing systems and minimizing missing data
• Also mentioned– More regional cooperation in the area of hydrology, expert exchange, instruments upgrade for early
warning system (EWS)– Regional training needs assessment plan– Improvement of the Pacific observation network– Identification of gaps and proposed treatments– Agreement to establish on-line forums to discuss issues.

Executive Summary
WMO OMMExecutive Summary
•A Survey was conducted to identify challenges and future priorities in RA V by using the SurveyMonkey platform.
•Analysis has been made for the Region in five categories:
•(a) institutional arrangements;
•(b) management and organization;
•(c) operations and services;
•(d) challenges and priorities; and
•(e) expected outcomes from RA V-16
WMO OMMExecutive Summary
•Institutional Arrangements
The most common title of NMHS in RA V is “Service” or “Agency”
Thirteen Members are functioning under different primary legislative acts or orders of decree - six Members are still functioning without legal authorities
•Management and Organization
The business model of NMHSs in RA V is predominantly government or state owned that strictly confined to the government policy, guidance and budgetary support with little freedom to do commercial activities.
Almost all Members except for one Member have national development/strategic plans covering the next 3-5 years.
The capacity building of staff and enhancement of operational forecasts including warning products with improved IT services are priorities of development/strategic plans.
WMO OMMExecutive Summary (RA V)
•Operations and Services
The Members are facing difficulties with:
inadequacy of equipment and IT infrastructure;
automation of surface observing networks;
agro-meteorological observations; and upper-air observations.
•Challenges and Priorities
The challenges in the Region identified by the survey include:
lack of qualified personnel;
NWP modeling capacity; observing systems; and EWS services for DRR,
among others.
The Members particularly identified:
adequacy of NWP modeling capacity;
lack of qualified personnel; and
adequacy of EWS and services for DRR, as serious challenges.
