Project ID 2210316021

The critical mass of experts required for research and management of the oceans and coasts is still not available in many of the African coastal countries. IOCAFRICA's capacity development initiatives aims to enhance expertise to achieve the following results: (i) Increased understanding of ocean and coastal processes around Africa, and how they impact on environment and resources. (ii) Increased technical capacity for monitoring and early warning for coastal and oceanic natural hazards (iii) Improved understanding of how African Oceans and Coastal areas will be impacted by changing climates. (iv) Enhanced capacities of experts and institutions in Africa for research and management of the coastal and marine areas.
