SEWA_01 Provision of a scoping study to assess the current landscape of early warning and Impact-based Forecast initiatives across Africa

ECMWF, as an entrusted entity for the implementation of the European Union’s Africa – EU Space partnership programme - Space for Early Warning in Africa (AESPP-SEWA), invites Tenders for the provision of a study to assess the current landscape of early warning and Impact-based Forecast initiatives across Africa. This ITT covers the provision of a scoping study to assess the current landscape of early warning and Impact-based Forecast (IbF) initiatives across Africa. The scoping study is an essential precursor to the four regional IbF pilot demonstrators, focusing on West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa and Southern Africa. The study shall identify existing initiatives, user needs, gaps and priorities to ensure a coherent and complementary approach to capacity building and service development across Africa as a continent, the four sub-Saharan regions and the Indian Ocean Islands. Further details are contained within the Volume II document of the ITT. Kindly note that an extension to the deadline for receipt of tenders is not anticipated and any such requests for an extension should be entirely avoided.
