Blue Innovation. The first forum on Africa’s blue economy took was held in London in June 2018. Do you think Africa is sufficiently aware of the wealth of opportunities its marine resources offer?
Robert Dussey. Africa has always been aware of the opportunities its marine resources offer. This awareness was expressed during the African Union’s 2014 summit in Addis Ababa by the adoption of Africa’s Integrated Maritime (AIM) Strategy for 2050. The latter was confirmed during the Lomé Summit, and we need only note the interest and enthusiasm of the different delegations, experts and other participants. The 1st forum on Africa’s blue economy in London, which brought together several African experts on the maritime sector in this global maritime capital in order for them to share their experience, is a further example of this awareness.
