In this respect, the PPCR-supported Building Resilience to Climate-Related Hazards (BRCH) Project was selected as a case study project for Nepal to elucidate lessons learned on the process for modernizing hydrometeorological systems and developing climate services to users.

Qualitative methods, including structured interviews and literature review, were used to identify promising pathways to transform weather, water, and climate services in the three case study countries.

These are: improving data resources, improving service design and delivery, improving hydrometeorological services through feedback and evaluation, fostering human resources capacity, and strengthening institutional arrangements.
