During the Consultative Meeting on the Development of an African Strategy for Ocean Governance organized by the United Nations Environment Programme from 29 to 30 November 2018, countries introduced different national ocean governance models in their respective countries. Some of these models have already been proved successful, and may be replicated in other countries of the region and the rest of the world. It was agreed at the meeting that case studies of these national ocean governance models will be collected by the secretariat. The United Nations Environment Programme is kindly requesting you or any other person or institution that you think is relevant and useful to provide this needed information that will assist in shaping the African Strategy on ocean Governance. We will be pleased if we received a positive response from you by 31 May. NB: for purposes of this exercise, ocean governance includes institutional arrangements, decision making mechanisms, legal and policy instruments, engagement and participation of stakeholders in decisions, including financial arrangements.
