Under the equipment component, two automatic weather stations were installed at Gokwe and Gutsaka, with the project providing for the site preparation and installations, as well as the required on-the-job training. One upper-air station was installed at Victoria Falls and various types of observational equipment were provided to rehabilitate a number of old stations. In addition, a total of nine optical theodolites were overhauled and are now in use at Kariba, Gikwe, Beitbridge, Kadoma, Mutoko, Masvingo, Harare and Hwange National Park. Furthermore, the project provided ten HF transceivers and three facsimile receivers. The facsimile receivers were installed at Victoria Falls, Chiredzi and Gweru. Three vehicles and one mobile workshop were also provided to improve station inspection and field maintenance of meteorological equipment.
