INTEGRATED FLOOD RESILIENCE & ADAPTATION PROJECT
Enhancing Pakistan’s resilience to climate risks, the Modernization of Hydromet Services component strengthens hydro-meteorological forecasting and climate services. This component is being implemented by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) and covers all regions of the country.
The Modernization of Hydromet Services component is designed to equip Pakistan with a state-of-the-art weather and climate monitoring system. With a nationwide scope, it focuses on upgrading observation networks, enhancing data management, and improving forecasting capabilities. The initiative integrates modern numerical weather prediction systems, strengthens climate service delivery, and introduces sustainable solutions such as solarization PMD facilities. Beyond infrastructure improvements, the component emphasizes institutional strengthening, capacity building, and public awareness to ensure that climate and disaster-related information is accessible, actionable, and effectively utilized for national resilience.
PMD is the national authority responsible for weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and early warning systems. It plays a critical role in disaster preparedness by providing timely hydro-meteorological information to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events. Under IFRAP, PMD is modernizing its infrastructure, data management, and forecasting systems to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of climate and weather services across the country.
this sub-component focuses on upgrading PMD’s technical infrastructure to improve the accuracy and efficiency of weather and flood forecasting. This includes modernizing observation networks, strengthening data management and communication systems, and integrating advanced numerical weather prediction models. Additionally, the initiative will expand PMD’s coverage, particularly in under-monitored regions such as Balochistan, to ensure nationwide climate monitoring and early warning capabilities.
This sub-component is dedicated to equipping PMD with the expertise, tools, and institutional frameworks necessary for sustainable service delivery. It includes capacity-building programs for meteorological professionals, development of climate service delivery models, and enhanced public outreach efforts to improve climate awareness. Furthermore, it will support the solarization of PMD facilities, ensuring long-term sustainability and efficiency in operations.
