Capacity Development
The Capacity Development (CB) activities under JCOMM
are cross-cutting activities amongst the JCOMM Programme Areas. They are an
essential, high priority activity, designed to assist Members and Member States both to
contribute to operational ocean observations and services and also to gain maximum benefit
from the data and products available through the system. To achieve these aims
CB activities must operate within, and draw upon, the overall principles of its governing
bodies; it also must be compatible and work with other WMO and IOC programmes.

Capacity Development STRATEGY |
| Capacity Development under JCOMM is an essential, high priority
activity, designed to assist Members and Member States both to contribute to operational
ocean observations and services and also to gain maximum benefit from the data and
products available through the system. At present, Capacity Development work is concentrated
in two areas: specialized training and regional cooperative development projects. In
recognizing the importance of Capacity Development and of the need to enhance coordination
and cooperation in Capacity Development activities, a JCOMM
Capacity Development Strategy has been prepared and published. This provides a coherent
framework for all future JCOMM Capacity Development projects, compatible with similar work
under other programmes of WMO and IOC. |

| SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND REGIONAL PROJECTS |
| The new JCOMM Capacity Development Strategy provides a blueprint for
future JCOMM Capacity Development activities. For the coming intersessional period, these
will be concentrated in the following areas: (i)
Ongoing specialized workshops in fields such as wave and storm surge forecasting; support
for ship-based observing systems, including PMO training; the application of
remotely-sensed ocean data;
(ii) Training to support integrated coastal area management;
(iii) Implementation of existing regional cooperative projects and the development of new
ones in other regions.
Information on planned training events under the marine
programme is given on the Training page. (see also Forthcoming Events)
Two major regional cooperative projects are under
development, aimed at the coordinated enhancement of marine observing systems, modelling
capabilities and services, based on cooperation among interested agencies and institutions
in specific areas. The South East Asian Centre for Atmospheric and Marine Prediction
(SEACAMP) Project document has been finalized and submitted to potential funding sources.
A draft project document for the Western Indian Ocean Marine Applications Project (WIOMAP)
has been prepared, and it is hoped that this will be finalized and submitted for funding
before the end of 2001. |
