Description

1. NHMSs are operating and maintaining an enhanced set of observation and data management infrastructure (including for traditional knowledge) in line with global standards, and are increasingly sharing related data;

2. NHMSs are actively generating and refining climate and ocean information products/services utilising consolidated portals and COSPPac supported (and other best available) models and tools; and

3. NHMSs are coordinating two-way communication of COSPPac products/services with priority stakeholders (including communities and marginalised groups) utilising inclusive processes and are evaluating these products/services.

The Program will build on the success and intentions of previous programs. It will maintain programs which the Pacific relies on and could not deliver on their own, it will transition activities where the capacity in the Pacific is commensurate with delivery, and it will introduce new activities which respond to the calls from the region.

COSSPac Phase III
Objective

The Program will focus on five key deliverables:
1. Observations infrastructure and data support;
2. Data management, products and services;
3. Communications with and between key stakeholders and diverse communities (knowledge brokering);
4. Capacity development; and
5. Governance – including transition arrangements.

All five deliverables will have strong ‘Traditional Knowledge’ (TK) and ‘Gender Equity and Disability Inclusion’ (GEDSI) focuses.
The aim of the COSPPac3 Program, as outlined in the Investment Design Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific - Phase 3 (COSPPac3) document theory of change is that:
'Pacific Island National Hydrological Meteorological
Services (NHMSs) are delivering useful and usable climate and ocean information services in partnership with priority stakeholders, including affected communities and marginalised groups, (End of Program Outcome) such that Pacific Island stakeholders are using climate and ocean information to enable all Pacific peoples to remain resilient to the impacts of climate change and disasters so that they are able to lead safe, secure and prosperous lives (Impact)'.
