RA V STRATEGIC OPERATING PLAN
2012-2015
The draft RA V Strategic Operating Plan (SOP) proposed for 2012-2015 is attached.
_____________
RA V/MG-5/Doc. 3.1(1)
Context - The Structure of the WMO Strategic Plan 2012-2015
Starting with the three Global Societal Needs (GSNs), the WMO Strategic Plan defines five
Organization-wide Strategic Thrusts (STs) and eight Expected Results (ERs) to achieve its vision,
as shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Schematic representation of the structure of WMO Strategic Plan 2012-2015
RA V/MG-5/Doc. 3.1(1), p. 2
Context - Priorities
Within the five Strategic Thrusts and eight Expected Results, WMO as a whole has identified the
following five priority areas that have significant contribution to the achievement of the expected
results:




Global Framework for Climate Services;
Aviation meteorological services;
Capacity Building for the developing and least developed countries;
Implementation of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) and WMO
Information System (WIS);
Disaster Risk Reduction.

Region V agreed at its fifteenth session in May 2010 (paragraph 5.2.6) to attach the highest
priority to the following five areas, which are very consistent with the overall WMO priorities. They
have been re-ordered to show how they correspond to these WMO global priorities.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
Better climate services;
Sustainable aviation services;
Capacity building;
Improved infrastructure (data and information services) for weather, climate and water;
Improved end-to-end Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS).
Global and Regional Key Outcomes
The eight ERs have been further delineated by Key Outcomes (KOs) at the global level, and their
associated Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the success in achieving the results.
Within the following sections, each of the ERs and table of resultant KOs has been supplemented
by a table showing Regional Key Outcomes (RKOs) for RA V.
The RKOs are numbered to show the global KO they relate to – for example, RKO 1.1.3 for
“Public weather services improved” support the global KO 1.1 for “improved access to seamless
weather, climate, water, and related-environmental products and services (e.g., warnings,
forecasts and supporting information)”.
Each RKO has associated deliverables based largely on those from the previous draft RAV
Operating Plan as discussed at XV-RA V, but supplemented by existing plans and initiatives
underway (for example, the Tropical Cyclone Committee Operational Plan, and the GFCS).
Also, for each RKO those primarily involved in activities to achieve the RKOs are listed. Many of
these are for the Members themselves to carry out. There are also supporting WMO
Programmes or parts of them. Some (but not all) have explicit involvement of RA B subsidiary
bodies. WG-WXS is the Working Group on Weather Services; TCC is the Tropical Cyclone
Committee; WG-CLS is the WG on Climate Services; WG-HYS is the WG on Hydrological
Services; WG-INFR is the WG on Infrastructure; MG is the Management Group. Some RKOs
which match and support the five priorities listed earlier are identified as Priority Areas.
Detailed activities to support these RKOs and deliverables are best done through work plans for
the individual subsidiary bodies (e.g., the elaboration of the Tropical Cyclone Operational Plan) or
through submitting relevant information to the overall WMO Operating Plan.
In terms of this plan, and the overall work plans, there of course needs to be recognition of the
diversity in the region of:


Capabilities of NMHSs;
User communities and requirements;
RA V/MG-5/Doc. 3.1(1), p. 3

Funding sources and access to resources and staffing.
Many of the deliverables under the Regional Key Outcomes below could be expressed as SMART
(Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-oriented and Timed) objectives in a form such as:
[X% of]/[All] NMHSs should be capable of doing Y by date Z.
However, in general baseline information is lacking on current performance of NMHSs and
programmes in the region. A first step in some of the work plans should be to establish these
baselines.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation are important tools in results-based management to help improve
performance and achievement of results. XV-RA V, in view of the usefulness of the survey to
monitor and evaluate the progress on the implementation of the Strategic Plan, requested the
Management Group and the Regional Office for Asia and the South-West Pacific to develop and
conduct a survey questionnaire, and invited its Members to send the WMO Secretariat the
completed survey on the basic capability of NMHSs in RA V by the end of each year from 2010 to
2011. This survey should be aimed at gathering information which can be used to track the
deliverables in this plan.
