Sustainable Oceans and the Blue Economy

Between 2020 and 2021, Knut was contracted by Norad to undertake four separate studies in Kenya, Mozambique, Indonesia and for the African Union, for a new Development programme called Oceans for Development. The programme was launched by the Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg in 2019,  to reinforce Norway’s development cooperation on ocean management, following Norway’s active role and participation in the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy.

The scoping studies encompassed mapping of current status and challenges in ocean governance, identifying potential collaboration partners and provide input to the design and delivery of an effective programme between Norway, Kenya, Indonesia, Mozambique and the African Union, including private sector engagement and investments.
