AFRICAS MARITIME SECTOR AS A DRIVER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT


MARITIME IN AFRICA
Africas share in world trade is around 3% . The continents prospects for economic growth and development are inextricably linked with the ability to increase its participation in global trade through enhancing its competitiveness and transporting African goods to the market. Ships are the main conveyor of Africas traded goods, with over 90% of Africas imports and exports conducted by sea. The maritime industry therefore represents the key strategic apparatus to increase Africas trade, as well as to drive economic development both directly and indirectly. Thirty-eight (38) African countries are either coastal or island states while fifty-two (52) of its over one hundred (100) port facilities handle containers and various forms of cargo. Africas 356,000 kms of coastline and maritime economy potentially a source of great opportunity has, however, long been neglected: maritime industries have been undercapitalized; ports are mostly small, underdeveloped, capacity constrained and ineffectively managed; and the inter- and intra-African connectivity of waterways is constrained and complex. In the past decades, direct aggregate losses of revenue from illegal activities in Africas Maritime Domain (AMD) has amounted to hundreds of billions of US dollars, not to mention the loss of lives.

WHY DOES MARITIME MATTER TO AFRICA?


Africa needs to realize its dependence on its water systems, and in this awareness, strengthen its maritime capabilities. We need to acknowledge the potential power of maritime to act as an engine of growth, industry transformation, job and business creation. The best way to do so is through bringing together key stakeholders to a forum that will facilitate information exchange, relationship building and partnership development.
