Although the ten contracting parties are committed to achieve the NC goals of improved governance conservation, management and sustainable development of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), this still remains a significant challenge Collective leadership between state, private sector and civil society actors at all levels is critical to catalyse improved governance and lasting change for the benefit of all in the context of working towards a prosperous WIO Region with healthy rivers, coasts and oceans.
In 2019, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (SMZ) initiated a partnership with the NC Secretariat and commissioned GIZ to support its implementation through the Western Indian Ocean Governance Initiative (WIOGI). This three-year project aims to strengthen cooperation among relevant actors at the regional and national levels on the protection and sustainable use of marine and coastal biodiversity in the WIO region. The project is closely aligned with the objectives, priorities and work programme of the NC Secretariat and its associated projects. This will result in maximum synergies between WIOGI, the NC and the projects that are already being implemented in the region.
