Competency areas
The WMO Strategic Plan calls for WMO to develop and sustain the core competencies and expertise required for effective service delivery through education and training programmes focused on standards and recommendations. Competency frameworks are also considered essential for the establishment of a quality management system in the implementation of the WMO technical programmes. The present publication, which focuses on competencies in climate services, complements two other WMO publications published in recent years, namely: the Guide to Competency (WMO-No. 1205), and the Compendium of WMO Competency Frameworks (WMO-No. 1209). These three publications offer implementation guidance to Members, particularly in the areas of framework development, competency assessment of staff members and training design. While the high-level competencies have been published in the Technical Regulations (WMO-No. 49), Volume I – General Meteorological Standards and Recommended Practices, no single location was available for consulting the competencies for the provision of climate services in full detail.
