No results found.Since 2014, the MoBEMRFS (formerly known as the Ministry of Ocean Economy) in Mauritius, has unified various ocean-related departments to maximize the ocean's potential. By 2019, recognizing the efficiency challenges of this multi-sector ministry, the Mauritian Government sought support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). With its technical support, the ministry led a participatory review process, culminating in a multi-government stakeholder workshop, which identified institutional gaps and capacity constraints hindering progress in fulfilling the ocean/blue mandate. The review concluded that while substantial economic benefits from the ocean would take decades, immediate steps could set the right course. An action plan and recommendations were made, focusing on the ministry, the broader ocean economy and capacity development. A major gap identified was the absence of an Ocean Economy Policy and Strategy. It was anticipated that a successful policy development process and the adoption of an Ocean Economy Policy would allow for the sustainable growth of the ocean economy through improved governance, enhancing the social and economic well-being of the people of Mauritius.
