The Africa Blue Economy Week 2025 and the Commemoration of the African Day of Seas and Oceans aim to:

1. Intensify dialogue and cooperation to accelerate the implementation of Blue Economy policies, expand continental data collation and exchange, and promote regional trade integration and value-addition under the AfCFTA.
2. Showcase innovative approaches and best practices from Member States, the private sector, financial institutions, and development partners, on how to build partnerships and unlock investment for inclusive and sustainable growth in the African Blue Economy.
3. Strengthen advocacy and collaboration in the conservation and sustainable management of Africa’s aquatic and marine resources, promoting inter-governmental partnerships for effective governance of shared resources.
4. Reflect on the Progress and Legacy of the Decade of African Seas and Oceans and articulate a clear roadmap post-2025.
