Rwanda Meteorology Agency (Meteo Rwanda): strategic plan 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2019

Abstract

The Rwanda Meteorology Agency (Meteo Rwanda) Strategic Plan is the guiding document of an improved planning and management system and is focused on requirements for a broader range of weather and climate services information services. Meteo Rwanda Strategic Plan focuses on what the Meteo Rwanda needs to execute the mission. Meteo Rwanda’s planning, programming, budgeting and execution cycle links program plans, annual operating plans, and the entire Meteo Rwanda budget to the strategic plan. Ultimately, all members of our workforce will understand their roles in meeting these agency priorities and themes. The Meteo Rwanda weather and climate services play an important role in almost all National goals and cross-cutting priorities. This 2016 – 2019 strategic plan envisages a paradigm shift from a process based approach of service delivery to a results-based management approach for effective and efficient delivery of services. The strategic plan outlines the major programs, outcomes, outputs and the performance indicators that allow us to measure our progress towards the stated outcomes and outputs over the plan period. It is an embodiment of our collective promise to our stakeholders on the expected service delivery standards in line with our mandate. It was prepared in a participatory, consultative and all-inclusive manner and this is therefore a product of a rethinking of our intentions and strategic focus.
