The main objective of establishing a National Framework for Climate Services is to enhance coordination,facilitation and collaboration among institutions to ensure development and incorporation of science-based climate information and prediction into planning,policy and practices for all climate-sensitive socioeconomic sectors. The framework formulation process entailed a systematic process based on WMO/GFCS guidance document called “Step-by-step Guidelines for Establishing a National Framework for Climate Services” and involved consultations and planning,stakeholder mapping,baseline assessment environmental scan,strategy development,and pre-validation/validation workshops.
