Operational Partners

SOFF leverages partners’ competency to maximize efficiency and impact.

COUNTRIES

The Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) provides grant-only finance and technical assistance to countries. All eligible countries have equal access to SOFF resources following the SOFF programming criteria. Country allocation is country-specific and depends on the national activities required for each of the phases of SOFF support.

ELIGIBILITY

SOFF prioritizes support to SIDS and LDCs. All other OECD ODA-eligible developing countries can access SOFF support under the Readiness phase only.

RESPONSIBILITY

With the support from the peer advisor and the Implementing Entity, the beneficiary country is responsible for implementing the activities of each phase of SOFF support.

FOCAL POINT

National Meteorological and Hydrological Services from the SOFF beneficiary countries are the focal points for SOFF support.
