  1. Regional Coordination Experiences and Mechanisms: The GCLME Scenario Sub-regional Workshop for GEF Focal Points West and Central Africa Dakar, 21-23 May 2007

  2. 16 Project Countries Involved. IAs: UNDP/UNEP and EA: UNIDO. Duration 2005-2009 Recover depleted fish stocks, Restore degraded habitats, Reduce land and ship-based pollution, Create an ecosystem-wide assessment and management framework for sustainable use of living and non-living resources in the GCLME, and Establish viable regional consultative and coordination mechanisms for joint actions in transboundary management of the GCLME including a Guinea Current Commission. Project Objectives

  3. Invitation to countries for proposals for hosting Regional Coordination Unit Designation by countries of National Focal Points/Coordinators Request to countries to constitute and Inaugurate Cross Sectoral Inter-Ministerial Committees Constitution of Regional Steering Committee Constitution of Regional/National Scientific and Technical Task Teams Designation of Regional Activity Centres Stakeholder Coordination

  4. Regional Coordination Unit fully functional (entrench regional approach and cohesion) Effective Regional Steering Committee Functional Cross sectoral/Inter-Ministerial Committee Network of NGO’s / CBO’s with PPA Work Plan Regional Scientific / Technical Advisory Committees Committee of Ministers 5 Regional Activity Centres (Pollution, Fisheries, Productivity, Risk Mgt, EIMS) Regional Coordination Mechanisms GCC IGCC Hubs of Technical Programmes

  5. Host Country Pays Host Countries Support Financial Mechanisms to be defined Mechanics of Institutional Sustainability Location and Utilities MOUs Regional Activity Centres Donors Conference (ADB – 2008)

  6. Achieved along 5 Module Approach – 1st Year Data Mgt: National Coastal Monitoring Harmonized Framework/Methodologies Emerging Data and Info Systematized and Provide Decision Support tools Standardization basis for intercomparability EIM and DS Centre is the hub Interactive – Different Layers of Control Direct Linkage to marine resource Sustainability and Human Development Goals

  7. 1. Fisheries – 2 Region wide cruises and Collated Info (Regional Fisheries Task Team) Harmonized Regulatory Framework MSY Indications Restriction in Licensing of boats Definition of Commercial Fisheries(Target species) Still Early Days Monitoring, Control and Surveillance Fishery Management Plans

  8. Common Effluent Standards, ESI Mapping, Regional Spill Contingency Plan Harmonized Regulatory Framework • Mangrove 2. Pollution and Ecosystem Health – Common Effluent Standards, Regional Spill Contingency Plan First Reserve Established in South East Nigeria (Nov,2005) Angola and Cameroon in Line (Rio del Rey) • ICAM Decision against Habitat DestructionZoning Restrictions to Apply Set back lines defined

  9. MoUs developed with NEPAD, FAO, IMO for coordination of activities Concluding Thoughts IGCC Established and acting on behalf of countries a)RCU/Commission Secretariat – entrench regional approach & cohesion b) Adoption of agreed Standardized approaches/methodologies & harmonized regulatory measures sustain regional cooperation c) Regional Scientific/Technical Advisory Groups provides platform for knowledge management d) NGOs/CBOs strengthen networking and outreach: enabled access to high decision makers and increased citizen involvement e) TDA/SAP process enables Cross Sectoral/Inter-ministerial participation and political support Problems Referred - Sardinella Congo - Biodiversity and Erosion Gabon - Erosion Angola - Mangrove and Pollution Data Rep (FAO) Mandate to Act on Behalf Ballast Water (IMO) GPA (UNEP)
