Activity under preparation Sustainable Western Indian Ocean Programme (SWIOP) The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region stretches from the Gulf of Aden to the Mozambique Channel, encompassing a variety of large and small states. Its diversity marine biodiversity supports burgeoning coastal populations and the economy of many coastal states. Despite the wealth of its waters, the biodiversity and resources of the WIO have been increasingly threatened by different (natural and manmade) factors, from rising waters temperatures to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Taken together, these challenges have been limiting the potential for a sustainable (blue) development and growth in the region.The EU and WIO countries have a common interest in improving ocean governance and supporting a sustainable, inclusive, climate-resilient Blue Economy (BE) in an approach underpinned by the Global Gateway (GG), as well as international and regional priorities. Taking a regional approach, this Action intends to achieve three interconnected specific objectives (SOs) covering SO1: ocean governance, including fisheries management, SO2: investment in a sustainable blue economy including strengthening the Global Gateway `blue¿ value chains and infrastructure, and SO3: improve ocean ecosystem resilience and blue carbon capture.¿The Action will notably contribute to SO 5 of the Regional MIP (¿Improve the sustainable use and management of oceans, coastal zones, river basins and lakes¿), in particular its results 5.1 related to ocean and water governance, 5.2 on integrated water resource management and sustainable blue economy and 5.3 on conservation and restoration of ocean, coastal, transboundary wetlands and inland water ecosystems. By so doing, the Action will also contribute to the achievement of several SDGs, in particular SDG 14 (Life under water) but also to SDG 8 (Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all) and SDG 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts).

ACT to End Violence Against Women and Girls Contract related to: ACT to End Violence Against Women and Girls - Gender equality is a core value and objective of the EU. Over the last few years, there have been important setbacks for gender equality and the enjoyment of human rights by women and girls. Global normative frameworks and international commitments on gender equality have been increasingly questioned, not least sexual and reproductive health and rights.&nbsp;Gender Based Violence (GBV) including Violence Against Women and Girls (VAW/G)[1] has been exacerbated by COVID 19 and is globally on the rise. &nbsp;With its Gender Action Plan III 2021-2025, the EU reinforces its ambitious engagement for a gender equal world at global, regional and country level. The&nbsp;fight for the elimination of gender based violence continues to be one of the EU priorities, while promoting the equal participation of women and girls in the public sphere. Strong partnerships with civil society, enhanced voice and capacity of women¿s organisations are&nbsp;at the core of GAP III&nbsp;through enhanced dialogue and support at all levels.&nbsp;Through this action, the EU intends to promote its interests and values at global level and more specifically positioned itself on the eradication of gender based violence (GBV), by building and reinforcing coalitions with partners in line with the Generation Equality¿s commitments. The action will build on the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative theory of change and capitalize on its results and&nbsp;lessons learned in 26 countries&nbsp;while ensuring its sustainability.&nbsp;The action pursues two main outcomes : i) strengthen and disseminate knowledge and best practices, expertise, data and research on how to reduce/eliminate GBV expanding and building the sustainability of the Spotlight Initiative; ii)&nbsp;increase global advocacy by civil society and more particularly women¿s rights organisations (WROs), strengthen their capacity and resilience, boosting coalition building and networking.[1] For the purpose of this AD the two terms are used interchangeably, it is understood that GBV&nbsp;is characterised by a broader scope : while women and girls suffer disproportionately from GBV, men and boys can also be targeted. The term is also sometimes used to describe targeted violence against LGBTQI+ populations, when referencing violence related to norms of masculinity/femininity and/or gender norms.&nbsp;
