The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) are organizing a webinar via Zoom on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (GMT+1), on the theme: “Unlocking the Value of Blue Resources in Africa and the Indian Ocean: Insights from the UNECA Blue Economy Valuation Toolkit”.
The objective of this capacity-building event is to create a virtual platform for sharing knowledge and experiences related to the Blue Economy, with a specific focus on the application of the UNECA Blue Economy Valuation Toolkit. The event aims to equip technical experts and policymakers from Central Africa, Eastern Africa, and the wider Indian Ocean region with the knowledge to the BEVTK effectively. The anticipated outcome is enhanced understanding and adoption of this tool, enabling the development of data-driven policies and strategies to support the sustainable transition to a Blue Economy.
This webinar will support the strategic goals of the IORA Working Group on the Blue Economy by creating an enabling environment for private investments and sustainable financing for Blue Economy initiatives to secure sustainable, economic, and inclusive growth.
The event will bring together experts, government officials from IORA and UNECA member states, regional institutions, academics, civil society, and development partners in the blue economy sector.
