Consultation was provided to advise the Government on the creation of the Meteorological Department. Later, the project provided an expert to act as an advisor to the management of the new Service and also an agrometeorologist to establish agrometeorological activities in the country. Consultation was also provided to design maintenance workshops, and establish weather forecasting services. Under the manpower development programme, the project trained five WMO Class I meteorologists, including one at M.Sc. level, in data processing. It also trained four WMO Class II meteorologists and three others at WMO Class III level. It is worth noting that the project was the sole source of funding for the WMO Class I personnel now manning the Meteorological Service.
