In recent years, Meteorological and Hydrological capacity in Afghanistan has been developed on a project basis within different goverment organizations. An analysis of the Afghanistan Meteorological Department (AMD) revealed deficiencies in many areas including: the culture of service delivery, quality and accessibility of data and information to meet user needs, and physical capacity for data analysis, quality control, interpretation, and optimum use of available resources.
With the World Bank as the lead implementing partner, the CREWS Aghanistan project aims build on existing and recently completed hydromet and DRM activities, to strengthen the capacity of provider and user agencies for the development and delivery of weather, water and climate-related early warning services.
