The Office of Foreign
Disaster Assistance (OFDA) of USAID
is providing support to expand the
“Climate Forecast Applications (CFA)
for Disaster Mitigation Program” to
Timor-Leste. ADPC and the National
Directorate for Meteorology and
Geophysics of Timor-Leste convened a
Stakeholder Meeting on 25 February
2008 in Dili. The meeting brought
together 21 stakeholders from
various government agencies,
international organizations, and
non-governmental organizations. The
participants formed a National
Working Group for Climate Forecast
Applications in Timor-Leste in order
to guide and spearhead efforts to
strengthen the country’s capacity
for disaster risk reduction,
primarily through the establishment
of an end-to-end climate forecast
generation and application system.
They also agreed on the CFA
Timor-Leste project work plan and
future collaborative activities.
Participants
in the national stakeholder meeting
formed a national working group on
climate forecast applications for
disaster mitigation in Timor-Leste.
