A World Meteorological Organization project update published on 5 October 2026 describes how its support helped Bangladesh, Haiti, Liberia, Mozambique and Somalia strengthen observation, forecasting and early-warning capacities under the Early Warnings for All initiative. The agency said the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency provided US$5.5 million in 2024 through the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction to accelerate the initiative, which calls for every person on Earth to be protected by multi-hazard early warning systems by 2027. WMO received US$900,000 of that allocation for a multi-national project focused on detection, observation, monitoring, analysis and forecasting.

The update said approaches varied by country. Liberia prioritised rehabilitating observation stations, technical training, improved data transmission and digitisation of historical records. Mozambique trained meteorological and hydrological staff on international observation and data-exchange systems and developed digital platforms and Common Alerting Protocol alerts. Bangladesh focused on coastal hazards, including storm-surge modelling and coastal inundation forecasting. Somalia emphasised building institutional foundations for a national meteorological and hydrological service, while Haiti maintained critical services with backup power, forecasting equipment, satellite connectivity and training, and finalised its EW4All roadmap and action plan.

According to the update, countries led in identifying priorities while WMO provided technical support, and South-South cooperation allowed Liberia to draw on Nigerian expertise and Mozambique to work with South Africa. WMO said the project established building blocks but that work remained unfinished, citing continued CREWS support in Haiti and new initiatives in Somalia and Mozambique.
