Pilot Project in Niger
To address the broad range of climate-related issues that confront many parts of Africa, the project set out five components to develop the Global Framework for Climate Services:
- Development of a framework of regional and national climate services through 'Early Warning - Early Action workshops'
- Rehabilitation and upgrading of the observation network
- Training and capacity building for the agricultural sector
- Upgrading of the climate data management systems including climate data rescue
- Demonstration projects focused on development and use of customised climate information products e.g. in the health sector.

Participants agreed to establish a West Africa Climate Assessment and Data rescue initiative (WACA-DARE) and developed a road map for its implementation. WACA-DARE will constitute a West African Component of an International Climate Assessment and Data sets (ICA&D) which is being established under WMO auspices.
