Growing Africa's Blue Economy

Livelihoods and economic growth supported by our oceans and waterways must be protected from aquatic and marine resource depletion. UNU-INRA will: 

  • Work with African researchers and policymakers to develop blue growth strategies for the sustainable development of aquaculture 
  • Investigate and recommend disaster risk reduction strategies that enhance the climate change resilience of Africa’s freshwater aquaculture farmers and coastal communities 
  • Co-develop and promote innovative water efficiency technologies across sectors such as agriculture to enhance water security
