drought in f~rica in October 1983 ~nd produced a report on this topic (~n~o World Climatic Programme series HCP...ql). This HaS fo11oNed by a second prepar-at ory
mee-~ing on the impacts of drought in Africa T"hich vraa organized by UNEP in collaboration uith ECA, l<J1;iO, UlffiO~ FAO, UNESCO 09.00 other organizations. The
Scie~Gific Roun~'Table on~ihe Climatic Situation and Drought in Africa waS held by ECA in Addis Ababe, in Pebr-uar-y 1984 with the active co.l.Labor-ation of the .aforementioned or'gani.aaui.ons ~~nd OAU, The Round Table considered a number of
N'orld.l1g papers uh'i.ch have been prepared on the basis of the two preparat,ory meetings in addit:lon to other r-epor-t.son drought from other individ:ucl African cour.tries, and finally adopted ~ draft Regione.l Plan of Action to' Combat' the
Effects of Drought in Africa.
. "
In ~~y 1984. the ECA Conference of ~linist ers met to consider, among other topics~' the subject of tne climatic situa.ti~nand drought in~'1frica and in particular the draft Pl.an of Action whi.ch they adopt ed ," At this mee't i.ng
Professor G.O.P~ Obasi., Secretary-General of the l'Jorld j.1oteorological'Organiza-' tion, presented a statement on this topic in which he proposed the forrnation of an Advanced Centre for 1,1eteorology- in Africa for appl.Led research o~ the HeC'.ther and. cliJl1[',tic cnome.l.Les in Afriba to improve the use of"mateorologic~linf'orlIlc.:.tion in critical human activities such o..S food production i.;ater'in£~hn.gemeph and energy usage. The ECA Conference of rili ni s t er s adopted' r~solution'528'(XIX )~ which recf'10s·:; e--l.
"the Executive Secretary to study Hi th WlO

To achieve this, it is naceasaz-y to develop competent manpower' and institu- tional capabilities for a better understanding of atmospheric processes in Afrioa

"examine the causes, periodicity, trends and effects of drought on the African economies and to propose measures that, can be tcl(en in the short-, medium- 'a nd l~ng~terms to deal Inth the problem"Q The same resolution also appealed to the relevant United.Nations institutions to oollaborate actively "lith EeA in this urgenttask. . ,"
