The rehabilitation of MettelSat's buildings in Kisangani is to start after finalization and publication of the environmental and social impact assessment. The bidding documents for the acquisition and installation of the meteorological and hydrological equipment are being finalized and expected to be published by December 2019. A functioning Quality Management System (QMS) for aviation meteorology is under development, to assure compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements. Short- and long-term capacity development plans for Mettelsat are being developed. 12/17/2019 Page 1 of 5 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Strengthening Hydro-Meteorological and Climate Services (P159217) Collaboration with WMO and through the CREWS trust fund implemented in parallel to the project is in place to support the establishment of the National Framework for Climate Services. Due to cost overruns and an overly ambitious project design, it has been agreed to restructure the project to revise the ambitions downwards.
