Consultative Workshop to Enrich and Validate the Continental Strategy on Nature-Based Solutions for Aquatic Biodiversity Conservation and Environmental Management in Africa

The African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) is implementing a project on “Conserving Aquatic Biodiversity in African Blue Economy”, with support from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). The project is supporting the implementation of the African Blue Economy Strategy (ABES) which was endorsed by the African Heads of States and Governments at a Summit held in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia, in February 2020. The Project is designed to enhance the policy environment, regulatory frameworks and institutional capacities of African Union member states and Regional Economic Communities to sustainably utilize and conserve aquatic biodiversity and ecosystems.
