The Executive Council Capacity Development Panel (EC-CDP), established in 2019 by Resolution 7 (EC-71), focuses on adding value to WMO’s work by providing feedback and guidance rather than implementing activities. Its work emphasizes:
- Assisting with effective coordination of capacity development across WMO.
- Complementing, not duplicating, work of CDP-ETs and other WMO entities.
- Prioritizing activities that add the greatest value.
- Considering feedback and requests from Congress, the Executive Council, and other WMO bodies.

WMO Capacity Development Framework
Following Decision 12 (EC-72), the Capacity Development Panel was requested to review the WMO Capacity Development Strategy (WCDS). The revision of WCDS provided an opportunity to analyze the changing Capacity Development landscape, assess existing and future practices, and learn from others working in the same domain.
The revised document provides an overarching strategic framework for capacity development, therefore the new version was adopted by Congress-19 as a framework and it is entitled WMO Capacity Development Framework (WCDF).
The WMO Capacity Development Framework is expected to be published in all 6 WMO official languages in 2024. Meanwhile, this important document can be consulted at the Cg-19/Doc. 4.4(1), ANNEX, APPROVED.
Applying the WMO Capacity Development Framework
The Capacity Development Panel is collecting case studies demonstrating good practices when applying the WMO Capacity Development Framework. The initial set of cases is available below and the collection is intended to keep growing in order to include examples from all WMO Regional Associations.
Those wishing to contribute to this collection can prepare Cases using the TEMPLATE and email to %20tra
wmo [dot] int (tra[at]wmo[dot]int) for consideration of the Panel. Your contribution will be most welcome!
