The African Regional Weather Enterprise
This study focuses on the role of the private sector in the development and delivery of hydrological and meteorological (hydromet) and early warning services (EWS) in Sub-Saharan Africa within the current landscape of the Africa Regional Weather Enterprise (ARWE). The study begins with a global industry overview of 87 participating companies who either work in or have interest in the region’s hydromet market. It highlights the types of activities, end-user categories, research and development, and focuses on innovation and capacity building initiatives that underpin the key components of the following pages. The study analyzes how private sector actors operate within the framework of national, regional, and international hydromet projects. It makes an inventory of ongoing initiatives that focus on the current status of public-private engagements (PPE) and partnerships for development of the ARWE.This report concludes by drawing on lessons from the positive dynamics and gaps in partnerships and engagements between public and private actors. It supplies 16 recommendations to further improve the ARWE by emphasizing PPE, successfully completing African hydromet programs, and satisfying enduser needs. The recommendations are focused on protecting lives and property while supporting national economies for the prosperity of all.

| Summary: | This study focuses on the role of the
private sector in the development and delivery
of hydrological and meteorological (hydromet) and early
warning services (EWS) in Sub-Saharan Africa within the
current landscape of the Africa Regional Weather Enterprise
(ARWE). The study begins with a global industry overview of
87 participating companies who either work in or have
interest in the region’s hydromet market. It highlights the
types of activities, end-user categories, research and
development, and focuses on innovation and capacity building
initiatives that underpin the key components of the
following pages. The study analyzes how private sector
actors operate within the framework of national, regional,
and international hydromet projects. It makes an inventory
of ongoing initiatives that focus on the current status of
public-private engagements (PPE) and partnerships for
development of the ARWE.This report concludes by drawing on
lessons from the positive dynamics and gaps in partnerships
and engagements between public and private actors. It
supplies 16 recommendations to further improve the ARWE by
emphasizing PPE, successfully completing African hydromet
programs, and satisfying enduser needs. The recommendations
are focused on protecting lives and property while
supporting national economies for the prosperity of all. |
