As a result of the projectRoshydromet will further modernize its services and improve the accuracy of information necessary to protect society and economy from a wide range of hydrometeorological and climate related hazards. The project will also support Russia's public institutions to make informed economic decisions related to climate information (both negative and positive impacts) based on comprehensive climate models and assessment capacity.

While the project is still behind schedule, major progress has been made in completing most of the actions agreed during the October 2015 mission, and follow up agreements in February and April, 2016. The Roshydromet team and BEA are urged to accelerate the preparation, review and revisions of major packages at all stages of procurement, especially when it comes to bid evaluation. Particular attention should be paid to finalizing the concept for “Modernization of the hydrological network in the Volga River basin, and development of hydrological forecasting technologies", which is of strategic importance for reaching the project objectives. The next World Bank mission will comprise the joint mid-term review of the project with the counterpart, and will take place in late fall 2016.
