About The African Meteorological Society

  • The objectives of the AfMS are to advance meteorology and sciences related to it, at an Africa-wide level, and to assist the development of applications of these subjects for the public welfare and benefit of the peoples of Africa and elsewhere.
  • To these ends, the Society will concentrate its efforts on activities which can only be carried out at the African level, or which are carried out more effectively at that level than by a single member Society.
  • The Society pursues only activities directly intended to promote public welfare through Science and Technology as well as Collaboration between member societies.
