Overview :
Background The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with support from Department for International Development (DfID), the European Union (EU), the Embassy of Sweden and the Government of Zimbabwe have embarked on a resilience building initiative in rural communities, the Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF). The ZRBF seeks to improve the communities’ adaptive, absorptive and transformative capacities while improving early warning mechanisms and capacitating government (both national and local). The resilience framework for Zimbabwe identified building government officials’ capacity as one of the components of improving transformational capacity and promotion of evidence-based policy making at both local and national government levels. This was further noted during the capacity assessments on evidence generation to inform policy that was conducted by ZRBF for the Meteorological Services Department in July 2017. The capacity assessment noted amongst others the need for improving the availability and reliability of climate and weather information required for development planning in Zimbabwe, with special emphasis on informing policy making. In this regard, a capacity building workshop for Meteorological department officials is being organised to address this capacity need. The focus of this training is on Consortium for Small-scale Modelling (COSMO) / Climate Limited-Area Modelling (CLM) which is a model for simulating processes of the atmosphere and regional climate information. Proposed Consultancy The Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF) recognizes the importance of the COSMO/CLM-Model for simulating processes of the atmosphere and regional climate information. This model is of relevance given that it is a unified model system for numerical weather prediction (NWP) and regional climate modelling (RCM). In this regard, the ZRBF PMU seeks institutional support in facilitating the capacity strengthening of the Meteorological department in COSMO/CLM modelling. 10 participants are expected for the COSMO/CLM modelling training programme which should be conducted in 5 days. Overall Objectives Under this consultancy the training should be devoted to provide basic training on the theory and usage (practical exercises) of the model in NWP and RCM mode. The following topics are expected to be covered amongst others:
