On May 2 2019, the Ivorian Center for Antipollution (CIAPOL) under the supervision of the Ivorian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, has launched the GIAMAA project in Grand Bassam.
On February 13 2019, the Mami Wata Project team met with national project partners and discussed initiatives that could be replicated in other Abidjan Convention countries.
The inception workshop for the Ecosystem-based approach to an Integrated Marine and Coastal Environment Management Pilot Project found place last week in Amansaman, Ghana.
These ecosystems are a foundation of people’s well-being, livelihood, nutrition and culture. They are also vital for social and economic development of coastal communities and countries. However, the coastal and marine living resources and ecosystems are in widespread decline, with a multitude of human activities from small scale fishing to offshore mining having an impact. In order to reverse this trend, the Mami Wata project is working with countries of the Abidjan Convention Region to address human activities in an integrated and holistic way, ensuring that conservation and our various uses are compatible.
