AU-IBAR, under the auspices of the African Union, and in partnership with a number of stakeholders (e.g. AUDA NEPAD), with financial support from the European Union, the Kingdom of Norway, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), is contributing to the development of the largest sectors of the current African aquatic and ocean based economy – namely: fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, transport, ports, coastal mining, energy and the blue economy. The Blue Economy plays a major role in Africa’s structural transformation, sustainable economic progress, and social development. This collection stores publications generated from the various Fisheries, Aquaculture and Blue Economy initiatives and projects over the years.
