EAtHC CB overview
Continuing challenges (WCA sub-region):
– increasing maritime co-activities in the African subregion, making urgent to raise high-level political
decision-makers awareness;
– the need to enhance the data available in the African
sub-region;
– concern for the setup of regional hydrographic course
adapted to the needs of coastal States;
– difficulty, in some cases, to put into practice the training
received, due to the lack of equipment.

Technical Visit to Liberia (fev 16)
 Visit initially included in 2014 CBWP and planned in
December 2014. Unfortunately, the development of the Ebola
outbreak (2nd semester of 2014) led to the decision to postpone
the visit in early November 2014. The visit was rescheduled in
the 2015 CBWP.
The IHB reinitiated contact with LiMA in September 2015 and
this led to the re-planning of the visit in early February 2016.
Visiting Team: IHB (G. Bessero) + UKHO (J. Bryant)

E-learning MSI experimentation (P-06)
• An e-learning course is not just the distribution of a
“residential” course on Internet.
• So far, few or no study had been made on how e-learning
could improve the access to hydrographic knowledge for the
benefit of coastal States needing it.
• The purpose of that initiative:
– develop distance learning resources of the IHO MSI 3 days-course
– experiment the MOOC through a guided pilot session.
• Expected Delivery Date:
– First version to be presented at WWNWS in Alesund
(September 2016)
– Pilot guided session to be set up in November
(60 hours - 4 weeks)
