of stakeholders and decision makers, ensuring end-users understanding of technical jargon, dialogue between sectors and stakeholders and two way communications between providers and users. Ongoing initiatives: The COMFISH project seeks to implement a weather information transmission system to local fisher communities, including training on understanding the daily weather information. Need 2: Modernisation of the hydrometeorological network The station network is facing challenges of the of the observation infrastructures, telecommunications and human and technical gaps in the use of the systems and the prediction tools. There is also a need to establish an observation network to monitor tides, waves, wind , ocean currents and bathymetry, in addition to improve observations for renewable energy Ongoing initiatives: PRGTE will improve the network of climate, meteorological and hydrological observations in target areas and strengthen capabilities to generate reliable data for monitoring and analyses of hydoclimatic phenomena. Develop an integrated information system for climate information and generating products necessary for the identification of risks associated with climate. Ensure a platform for information sharing is in place to support the climate risk management and long- term adaptation planning.
