WIO Ocean Governance Strategy Co-Creation Process
In cooperation with:
▪ WIO Ocean Strategy will:
− support and synergise with the African Ocean Governance Strategy under development
− be contextualized to the region and more detailed in terms of implementation modalities than the African strategy
▪ Coastal and marine data in NC is held in different platforms across several institutions in government and civil society
▪ A well developed and modern Information Management Strategy (IMS) will enable countries and stakeholders to share data and information needed to address common challenges and inform decision-making e.g :
o To harness the power of information management which includes quality, quantity, analytics, accessibility and applicability, to improve understanding of the changing coastal and marine environment, decision making, governance, and transparency).
o consolidate existing data and information held in different platforms possibly into one pool that can be easily accessed by countries, partners, and the public.

an SBE. 2. Blue investments – business models, value chains, technology, infrastructure and jobs at the
heart of an SBE.3. Blue stewardship – citizens, businesses and governments empowered as stewards of the
regions’ rivers, coasts and oceans to underpin an SBE.
