The second phase, which has also been started, aims at developing a human resources planning forecasting and modelling capacity.

Other improvements included the introduction of a new financial planning system for the Fund of UNDCP which provides greater management flexibility and forecasting capacity.

Examples of these include technologies for increasing efficiency of water use, improved land use planning, ecosystem and biodiversity protection, and monitoring, forecasting and early warning systems.

To do so, UNICEF, with its partners, will help strengthen national capacities to assess and monitor commodity needs based on disease burden studies accurate forecasting and planning budgeting and procurement of supplies in country logistics and supply chain management and the end use availability of commodities.

Capsule forecasting, stock management and ordering systems were improved at both the global and country levels.

Increased use of GIS and expert systems for modelling and forecasting is also planned for 1997.

SEAWATCH THAILAND is a complete marine environmental monitoring and forecasting system which integrates data collection, data analysis, environmental modelling and forecasting with an advanced computerised system for distribution of marine information and forecast to interested operators and or authorities.

Such observations can also be used as a tool for analysing weather patterns for weather forecasting and forest fire detection, to support air, sea and land transportation to support agricultural and fishing interests and for a wide range of other purposes, including the planning of construction activities.

The cloud pictures are mainly used for aviation forecasting, and there is a weather radar.

This implies the establishment of a blueprint for replacement of staff due for retirement, the setting up of human resources planning focal points in departments and offices and the preparation of a training programme to build up capacities for analysis, human resources data interpretation, evaluation and forecasting.

Increased use of GIS and expert systems for modelling and forecasting is also planned for 1998 and beyond.

Satellite imagery, along with other meteorological data, is used for weather forecasting.

All of this provides a basis for reliable forecasting of solar activity.

It is evident that weather forecasting has improved significantly in recent years.

The Department was also developing a module in Galileo for spare parts management and demand forecasting.
