ABOUT RANET:

RANET is a truly international collaboration relying primarily on the guidance and support of National Hydro-Meteorological Services, related national entities, and development NGOs. Primary program support and management occurs through regional centers in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, with the backing of the USAID Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, the NOAA Office of Global Programs, and NOAA-NWS International Activities Office.

Significant technical and network support has been provided by First Voice International, Wantok Enterprises Limited, the FreePlay Foundation, and Volunteers In Technical Assistance.

Additional funding and content support has been made available through Meteo-France, the UK Met Office, the National Meteorological Service of Spain, the French Embassy of Niger, the United States Embassy of Niger, FAO, UNDP, SNV.

RANET's most valuable support and guidance has been through the local communities in which national programs operate. In particular much thanks is owed to the village of Bankilare, Niger for its input, wisdom, and guidance.
