Work to assist the Government of Cameroon to develop a national maritime security strategy is underway in Yaoundé (5-14 July). Senior Government officials from departments and agencies concerned with maritime matters are attending meetings with an IMO consultant with a view to setting up a maritime security committee. This committee will set the course for a draft programme and strategy to enhance the country’s maritime security.
These efforts fall under IMO’s Strategy for Implementing Sustainable Maritime Security Measures in West and Central Africa. Find out more about the strategy and IMO’s work to support maritime security in the West and Central Africa region here.
