AFRICA REGIONAL SPOTLIGHTS Protecting Southern Africa’s Vital Marine Resources 1 Sweeping along the coast of south-western Africa, the Benguela Current large marine ecosystem stretches from the Cape of Good Hope northwards into Angolan waters, encompassing the full extent of Namibia’s marine environment. Like the Humboldt, California and Canary Current systems, water rising from the depths of the ocean – or upwelling – along the Benguela provides a renewed source of nutrients which has made it an important centre of marine biodiversity and global marine food production. A study of the Benguela Current ecosystem, however, highlighted several looming transboundary problems. The main causes of these problems were related to poor legal frameworks, inadequate enforcement of existing regulations, a lack of reliable financing and support mechanisms and insufficient public involvement. Working with ministers from Angola, Namibia and South Africa, in 2002 <strong>UN</strong>DP/GEF began a five-year, $15 million Integrated Management of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem project to resolve these management issues and address the unsustainable use of this large marine ecosystem. The three countries prepared and endorsed a Strategic Action Programme outlining their commitments to implementing a range of management and sustainable use guidelines.This included joint surveys and assessments of shared fish stocks, standardized management approaches, adherence to established codes of conduct for fishing, monitoring of ecosystem health and algal blooms, and capacity development for key staff and institutions. The cooperative relationship established by the project was critical to convincing the three countries to contribute more than $18 million towards implementation of the Strategic Action Programme, including staff, laboratories, equipment and the use of research vessels. One of the main outputs of the Programme will be the formation of a new Benguela Current Commission, an WATER institution that will deal with conflict resolution, transboundary marine resource management, and regulatory and environmental protection issues in the Benguela Current large marine ecosystem. The Commission will draw on inputs from several ministries in each partner country including foreign affairs, finance, fisheries, minerals and energy, environment and tourism. Africa Energy for Poverty Reduction Programme 2 Energy services are indispensable for human survival and development. They play a critical role across the whole spectrum of development activities, and are a powerful engine for social and economic growth. The lack of available modern energy services significantly limits social and economic human endeavours and correlates closely with many sustainable development indicators. Limited access to energy and the services that it provides is a problem that has a disproportionate effect on the poor, especially poor women in rural areas. The present regional rural energy programme, “Energy for Poverty Reduction in Africa: Energising Rural Development using Multifunctional Platforms”, has a total budget of about 4 million and is targeted to catalyse a wave of national actions that will fill the gaps in policy and institutional responses as identified in the preceding section. The programme builds on the successful multifunctional platform project energy project in Mali, thus launching additional countries in West Africa into this project. This programme creates a networking tool for exchanges of experience, knowledge and best practice across the region on effective planning, and management and expansion of decentralised rural energy systems/enterprises. National, regional and local poverty reduction policies and strategies will mainstream rural energy poverty issues. Currently, this project is supporting the Secretariat of the Economic Commission for West Africa (ECOWAS) in their efforts for developing a White Paper on increasing energy access in the West Africa region. <strong>UN</strong>DP through the regional programme has been successful in helping ECOWAS mobilise support from partners, such as EU and France, and currently at the forefront in helping finalise the White Paper for endorsement by the Heads of States in ECWAS countries towards the end of 2005.
