Cooperation Projects in Africa

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland has financially supported within its development cooperation program the World Weather Watch since 1968, when WMO launched the Voluntary Co-operation Programme (VCP). Finland has supported the provision of radiosondes and control unit systems to WWW and global research programmes. Support has also been given by Finland to the training programmes on the operation and maintenance of hydrogen generators as well as to the delivery of spare parts to the main measurement stations, and observatories in developing countries.

Finland took part in strengthening WWW in Guinea (Conakry), Mali (Tessalit), Sudan (Dongola and El Fasher), Zaire (Kananga and Kinshaza), Zambia (Kasama), Ethiopia (Asmara, Gode and Addis Ababa), Nigeria (L. Oshodi), Nigeria (Kano and Maiguri), Kenya (Nairobi), Zambia (Lusaka) and in Tunisia (Tunis-Carthage and Tozeur), Algeria (Tidouf), Mozambique (Maputo), Nigeria (Minna and Port Harcourt), Ivory Coast (Bouaké), Cape Verde (Sal) and Uganda (Entebbe).
