Aims of the Conference
Within the framework of UNCLOS and the 2050 AIM Strategy,
the aim of the Conference is to contribute to the development
of the African Integrated Maritime Human Resources Development (HRD)
Strategy and the various continental policies which need to complement the AIM
Strategy.
The Conference will do so by:
● contributing to the finalisation of continent-wide maritime sector capacity and
ocean governance reviews;
● mapping processes to identify and draft the required policies as well as to
implement the 2050 AIM Strategy in the field of training, education, research and
innovation;
● developing structures to coordinate and drive the drafting of policies as well as
the capacity development agenda in the field of training, education, research and
innovation; and
● being organised in such a way that the work done with regard to the
implementation of the 2050 AIM Strategy in the field of training, education,
research and innovation is informed by the work done with regard to ocean
governance and vice versa.
Attendance at the Conference
Attendance will be by invitation (about 300-350 delegates) and
representatives of institutions and other stakeholders that are
involved in maritime training, education, research and
innovation on the continent as well as ocean governance
experts and representatives of the African regional economic
communities, specialised international institutions, AU Member
States, the African maritime industry and civil society.
