Regional Offices are the main point of contact between Members, in particular the Members' Permanent Representatives to the WMO, and the Secretariat for capacity development aimed at enhancing infrastructure and services, supporting resource mobilization, building partnership and for advocacy-related activities. They coordinate technical and institutional support to National Meteorological Hydrological Services, and facilitate cooperation between them.
Regional Offices are responsible, together with WMO scientific and technical departments and partners, for the implementation of regional technical cooperation and activities in support of countries in transition and developing and least developed countries, including small island developing states and territories. This includes support to the six Regional Associations, development and implementation of technical cooperation projects and programmes in support of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, liaison within regional institutions and organizations and resource mobilization.
