Project ID 2210315031

The IOC's Sub Commission for Africa and Adjacent Island States (IOCAFRICA) was established in 2011 as a framework to improve IOC visibility to facilitate coordination among Member States in the region, and to ensure the efficient implementation of IOC programmes in Africa. IOCAFRICA promotes scientific research and understanding of the ocean and coastal environment and resources, and provide the science-base necessary for the development of the Blue Economy in Africa as outlined in the African Union's Agenda 2063 ("The Africa We want"), and the 2050 African Integrated Marine Strategic Plan of Action (AIMS2050). The Sub Commission hold's its sessions every two years to identify priority areas and activities which are submitted to the IOC governing bodies for approval.
