WORK PROGRAMME No. 3

                        INTER REGIONAL COORDINATION AND SUPPORT
Concept:
This programme refers primarily to the Organization’s strategic direction “Facilitate global coverage and use of official hydrographic data, products and services” through
enhancing and supporting cooperation on hydrographic activities among the IHO Member States (MS) under the aegis of the Regional Hydrographic Commissions
(RHCs). It also contributes to the strategic direction “Assist Member States to fulfil their roles” through the IHO Capacity Building Work Programme in supporting MS as
well as non-Member States to build national hydrographic capacities where they do not exist and to contribute to the improvement of the already established hydrographic
infrastructure. The programme includes major topics that require a regionally coordinated approach, such as ENC adequacy, availability, coverage and distribution,
maritime safety information and ocean mapping.

Element 3.1      Programme Coordination

Objective:       Promote and coordinate those activities that might benefit from a regional approach:

                 -       establish, coordinate and enhance cooperation in hydrographic activities amongst States on a regional basis, and between regions;

                 -       establish co-operation to enhance the delivery of the Capacity Building Work Programme;

                 -       monitor the work of specified IHO inter-organizational bodies engaged in activities that require inter-regional cooperation and coordination.

                 The IRCC will foster coordination between all RHCs and other bodies that have a global/regional structure (including: HCA, GGC, CBSC, IBSC, WWNWS-SC,
                 WEND-WG).

Element 3.3   Capacity Building

Objective:    Assess the hydrographic surveying, nautical charting and nautical information status of nations and regions where hydrography is developing.

              -          Provide guidelines for the development of local hydrographic capabilities taking into account the regional context and possibilities of support for shared
                         capabilities.

              -          Identify regional requirements and study the possibilities for capacity building assistance and training from the CB Fund and other sources.
