Description
Background
The Early Warning System for Flood (EWS-F) project, funded by the United States Department of State (US DoS), aims to strengthen end-to-end flood early warning systems and associated capacities to enable countries to take early action and reduce the impacts of hydrological hazards, particularly floods. The project supports the development of integrated and interoperable early warning systems that span the full hydrological value chain, from observation and forecasting to warning dissemination and response.
National Country Assessments conducted in EWS-F participating countries have identified critical capacity gaps in operational hydrology, particularly in basic and advanced hydrological knowledge and skills required for the effective operation, interpretation, and sustainability of flood forecasting and early warning systems within National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs). These assessments emphasized the need for structured and accessible training to strengthen competencies.
In response to these identified needs, the EWS-F project will support targeted capacity-building activities focusing on fundamental and operational aspects of flood forecasting and early warning systems. This consultancy will contribute to these efforts by preparing and delivering distance courses, thereby enhancing accessibility, usability, and long-term sustainability of hydrology capacity development under the EWS-F project.
Duties and Responsibilities

Prepare course curriculum and training material (hand-on exercises, quizzes, etc.) for the French moderated distance learning course “Rating Curves: Interpretation, Application, Creation”.
2. French instructor and moderator for the moderated distance learning course “Rating Curves: Interpretation, Application, Creation”.
- Moderate the moderated distance learning course “Rating Curves: Interpretation, Application, Creation”, including grading for approximately 40 French speaking participants;
