PROBLUE Ocean Governance Capacity Building Training Programme
Building regional capacity in ocean governance for sustainable ocean economies
About the programme
The Partners have complementary missions with respect to capacity development for ocean governance and therefore have agreed to cooperate to design and deliver a training program on international law related to ocean governance and the legal framework for the blue economy, including relevant regional conventions, drawing on each Partner鈥檚 respective areas of expertise. The World Bank is acting as the overall project coordinator.
DOALOS is the lead for training on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), including national implementation, ocean governance frameworks, multilateral fisheries agreements, dispute settlement, marine scientific research, maritime security, as well as the blue economy and sustainable development.
Objectives
To enhance the capacity of government officials, staff of partner organizations, and other stakeholders on ocean governance by providing training on international law related to oceans and the legal framework for the blue economy, including relevant regional conventions.
This training is expected to result in greater understanding of relevant international law and facilitate the development and implementation of national legal frameworks and ocean governance with a view to sustaining blue economies, including by mobilizing public and private financial resources for sustainable development.
