Support bodies

The network was subsidized by the CYTED program in the period 2005-2008, and it is supported, since its begining, by the World Meteorological Organization.

The coordination meeting that was held after the workshop in Chile, in October 2008, was used to analyze the evolution and status of the network and redefine its features, structure and strategy. The potential for sustainability thanks to the supports that it had had, was considered by the participants.

In particular, it has had the support of the Iberoamerican Conference of Directors of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (http://www.cimhet.org) since 2009.
