19 June 2018
Maria Mamaeva, Deputy Director for Development of the State Hydrological Institute, joined the international expert group to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the establishment of the Pacific Regional Training Center of the World Meteorological Organization in accordance with the WMO 2017 methodology and the Pacific Islands Meteorological Strategy for 2017 - 2026. The study is conducted by three independent consultants with an in-depth understanding of the needs for education and training within the WMO system.
In June 2018, Maria Mamaeva visited Tonga, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Fiji to conduct a survey and advise local hydrometeorological services. The data will form the basis for the analysis of the feasibility of establishing the WMO Pacific Regional Training Center. A detailed analysis of the situation on the ground is necessary in order to answer the question of whether the problem of a shortage of human resources, especially needed for the use of advanced technologies to support accurate forecasting and climate monitoring, can be solved through the establishment of a regional training center.
The expert task is implemented within the framework of the project "Disaster resilience for Pacific small island developing states" of the Russia-UNDP Trust Fund for Development.
