WHAT WE DO

We support local partners to develop and implement holistic, locally-owned solutions for the transition to an inclusive and sustainable Blue Economy.

We implement three interconnected
strategic pillars

Empower stakeholders for an ISBE

Supporting awareness creation, capacity building, job creation and business change processes so that governments, communities and the private sector are all able to participate in an Inclusive and Sustainable Blue Economy (ISBE).

Supporting integrated governance that enables an ISBE

Supporting the development and implementation of holistic governance frameworks, improved corporate standards and governance for the improved natural resource governance and integrated ocean development.

Mobilizing resources and catalyzing investment into an ISBE

Mobilizing technical and financial resources into more sustainable enterprises, value chains, technologies, livelihoods and infrastructure within the ISBE ecosystem.

WE MOBILISE INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL SUPPORT FOR LOCAL ACTION

OBF forges new partnerships, develops project opportunities, and supports ongoing initiatives with:

  • Access to expertise, knowledge, new partners and funding opportunities
  • Harmonisation and coordination with others for a greater cumulative impact
  • Joint advocacy to strengthen governance and motivation
  • Profiling & visibility through its communications network

WE FOCUS ON BLUE ECONOMY SECTORS THROUGH INNOVATION TEAMS

Our Blue Future currently has three Innovation Teams (ITs):

  1. Circular Economy
  2. Community Livelihoods
  3. Blue Tourism

They support transitions to an inclusive and sustainable Blue Economy (SBE) by:

  • Better defining what a SBE means in practice in a particular sector.
  • Identifying opportunities, building partnerships & providing technical assistance to develop a pipeline of bankable projects in this sector.
  • Documenting & sharing lessons; facilitating exchange to accelerate the sector’s transition to become more inclusive and sustainable.
  • Using evidence to support advocacy, inspire others and inform policy.
  • Supporting the mobilisation of new resources.
  • Strengthening existing regional, national and local structures to adopt a SBE approach.

OUR ANTICIPATED RESULTS

The Steering Team will set impact goals once OBF is further established. These will be centred around the common interests, including:

  • Creating and supporting sustainable livelihoods
  • Empowering business to become more sustainable
  • Levering responsible investment
  • Supporting conservation of coastal and marine areas
  • Developing a leading community of experts to catalyse future SBE pathways
