Background

• The review of emergencies from 2000‐2012 (RIASCO,2013) indicates that Southern Africa region is under sustainedindicates that Southern Africa region is under sustained pressure, both environmentally and socially. 

• The findings show that 37 out of 47 international humanitarian emergencies were associated with an identifiable environmental shock/stressor, while ten events could be linked respectively to socio‐political triggers and p y p ggepidemics. 

• It also underlines the short recurrence intervals for major h k f t i d th f lti lshocks for many countries and the co‐occurrence of multiple shocks annually.

• Flooding has resulted in at least one humanitarian appeal g ppannually since 2000. This has led to 26 flood‐related appeals.

Flooding in Southern Africa

Transboundary nature of Hazards

14 out of 26 recorded flood emergencies between 2000 and 2012 were b d i il li k d i l ltransboundary events, primarily linked to tropical cyclones;

The transboundary nature of hazards based on the weather system, and the resulting up stream runoff in these neighbouring states;resulting up‐ stream runoff in these neighbouring states; 

It also led to additional downstream flooding onto the outlet area of the river basin in the region. 

SADC has more than 9 main river basins which cross the region.SADC has more than 9 main river basins which cross the region.  Regional approach becomes more reliable in the coping strategy for sustainable development. In spite of the importance of weather and climate, the availability of relevant p p yand reliable weather and climate information in SADC countries has been hindered by poor development of meteorological infrastructure and shortage of human resources. Both problems are caused by insufficient funding for meteorological services.

Project Goal and ObjectivesProject Goal and Objectives 

• SAWIDRA‐SA aims at contributing to the overall of "Improving the Core Capacities of the Specialised National and Regional Climate Centres (RCCS) to meet the Needs of DRM Agencies". 

• This will contribute towards reduction of poverty and negative environmental externalities. 

• The project will also contribute to the achievement of the Hyogo Framework on DRM and Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s). 

• This project will be implemented in 36 months and will provide technical assistance to SADC CSC and SADC NMHSs. 

• It will develop the capacity to use Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and Regional Climate Models for seasonal climate prediction. p

IMPROVEMENT OF METEOROLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT

The improvement of meteorological infrastructure equipment is in line with the SADC Regional Infrastructure Development Master Plan and will be mainly concerned on:   strengthening of the Meteorological Observation Networks in g g gthe SADC region;  

improvement of Meteorological Telecommunications and communication systems for rapid data collection, exchange and y p , gdissemination of data and information;   

acquisition of data facilities and equipment for processing of Regional Advances Retransmission Service (RARS) of polar satellite information;  

acquisition of hardware and software on High Performance Computer for Member States and Numerical Weather
