Background Note - Workshop on Decision Support Tools for the Coastal Zone in Central Africa

Author(s) Berque
Summary Led by the Republic of Congo, a group of Central African countries are developing a regionally coordinated project for a better management of the impacts of coastal erosion on their shores. Replicating a successful suite of workshops in East Africa, this project aims to develop capability for decision-support in the coastal zone through modelling in key marine institutes in Central Africa. Such integrated products are demanded by decision-makers and will be a way to strengthen the demand for data and expertise developed by IOC’s several programme including ODINAFRICA. At the end of the project, preliminary but operational applications of modelling to decision-support in pilot sites will have been developed, and a strategy for the development of decision-support services through modelling will have been developed in participating institutes.
