Support for the organizational transformation of the IORA General Secretariat

This component will support the General Secretariat of the Indian Ocean Rim Association in its transformation, taking into account the priorities expressed by the IORA. Expertise France will not only endeavour to identify the current opportunities and limitations of the structure, capitalizing on lessons learned and recommendations inherited from previous support (IORA Phase 1), but also to develop organizational scenarios adapted to the needs of the organization and their implementation.

Support for the implementation of action plans in the field of marine debris

In order to operationalize the IORA strategy on marine debris, Expertise France will support the partner in the implementation of its Strategic Framework of Action on marine debris in the Indian Ocean, adopted in November 2022, which covers the entire plastic chain, from production to waste discharged at sea. This component of the project will focus on promoting the blue economy as a source of sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

Support for the implementation of action plans in the field of Disaster Risk Reduction

In order to improve practices and behaviours in the prevention and reduction of natural disaster risks, Expertise France will support the IORA in the implementation of the guidelines on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, as well as in the development of a mechanism to strengthen cooperation and interoperability with the objective to increase aid effectiveness.
