The key objectives of these training workshops, facilitated by ClimateABILITY’s Director Amanda Amjadali in her former role as PSS co-Director, were to build NMS’s understanding on how to translate technical climatological information for non-technical stakeholders such as the media.

This included enabling NMSs to identify the salient points in technical climatological information and condense it for the media and other stakeholders.

The workshop also coached participants on how to convey climatological information via various media platforms including traditional media (print, radio and TV), social media, NMSs official websites and newsletters.
