In the first week of July the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS) is holding its 20th plenary meeting in Mauritius. One of the long-standing core agenda items of the CGPCS – the main global governance body for the coordination of counter-piracy work of the international community – is coordination of capacity building in Somalia and the Western Indian Ocean region. SafeSeas will attend the plenary to meet core stakeholders and to promote the objectives of the project. We aim at demonstrating how stakeholders can benefit from scientific research and advice in coordinating, planning and implementing capacity-building projects.
