The African Blue Economy Strategy (ABES) was developed and endorsed in October 2019 by the African Union Specialized Technical Committee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Water and Environment (STC-ARDWE). The African Blue Economy Strategy is consolidated based on the following five detailed thematic areas considered critical to blue economy growth in Africa: Fisheries, aquaculture, conservation and sustainable aquatic ecosystems, Shipping/transportation, trade, ports, maritime security, safety and enforcement, Coastal and maritime tourism, climate change, resilience, environment, infrastructure, Sustainable energy and mineral resources and innovative industries, Polices, institutional and governance, employment, job creation and poverty eradication, innovative financing These five thematic areas are driven from the framework of the November 2018 Nairobi Sustainable Blue Economy Conference. The objectives of the conference were in line with the Vision of the AU-IBAR Strategic Plan 2018-2023 and African Union Agenda 2063 both contributing to Africa’s integrated, secured, transformation and growth. Therefore, implementation of the Africa Blue Economy Strategy will contribute to drive inclusive economic growth, social prosperity and environmental management and protection. These would effectively be achieved through building upon the recommendations of STC-ARDWE in October 2019. The recommendations urged the African Union Commission to: support adequate awareness creation, build capacity and share best practices on application of the Blue Economy concept; support setting up Blue Governance mechanisms to ensure planning and coordination at continental, regional and national levels; and mobilise resources for the implementation of the Blue Economy Strategy. The second recommendation establishes a basis for AU-IBAR to develop a Blue Governance mechanism or Framework for the implementation of the Blue Economy Strategy through its Action Plan. A lack of coordination structure would constitute a major handicap not only in the ownership and compliance of the Strategy by Member States and by the Regional Economic Commissions (RECs), but would also negate any chance of effective implementation and monitoring of the Strategy’s Implementation Plan. Africa Blue Economy Strategy Blue Governance Framework a Blue Governance framework will ensure overall consistency, coherence and synergy, and develop bridges and leverage resources between the various implementation plans for strategies. This includes Blue Economy strategies developed by some Regional Economic Communities such as the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) or by some regional commissions such as the Indian Ocean Commission and national Blue Economy initiatives.
