Further details
Communication and knowledge sharing
Project achievements will be compiled and advertised as they are produced. A communication plan is currently being set up, and knowledge will be exchanged with other countries to increase experience in integrated ocean management in the sub region and other regions.
Monitoring
The project team, with the support from the Steering Committee, will ensure that allocated resources are spent to produce the expected outputs. The frequency of project appraisal meetings will be increased during the first six months of project implementation to ensure a good start and to overcome the problems inherent in this phase of the project cycle. Team meetings will be held every three months and reports will document the process. A semi-annual technical and financial report will also be produced to consolidate the outputs.
Funding
The pilot project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMU) through the Mami Wata project´s support to the Abidjan Convention, and to the Government of Côte d’Ivoire.
The workshop developed regional capacity to support Marine Spatial Planning training needs across the region.
