Contributions to Capacity Building Initiatives in 2020

The Capacity Building Sub-Committee (CBSC) report highlights the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on capacity building efforts in 2020. Contributions from various sources like the IHO budget, donations, and support from countries like the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Canada are crucial for empowering women in Hydrography and other training programs. Member States also play a vital role in supporting capacity building activities within the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).

Major projects currently are: Funding students from IHO MS for Cat "A" Hydrography at USM Training for Trainers Cat "B" Hydrography at KHOA, Busan, ROK IRCC12 IRCC12-06A VTC, 6 7 October, 2020

5. Contribution to Capacity Building Contribution of Japan through the Nippon Foundation Japan continuously provides its important input through the Nippon Foundation (NF) by funding CB training projects. The NF-IHO Cartography, Hydrography and Related Training (NF-IHO GEOMAC [former CHART]) Project is fully funded by the NF. The NF is substantially funding other projects outside the direct context of the IHO CB. IRCC12 IRCC12-06A VTC, 6 7 October, 2020

10. Capacity Building Work Programme Capacity Building Work Programme 2020 WP for 2020 updated with consequences of COVID-19. Surplus budget needed for WP 2021 due to postponing of CB activities to 2021. IRCC12 IRCC12-06A VTC, 6 7 October, 2020

11. Capacity Building Work Programme Capacity Building Work Programme 2021 Submissions from the RHCs have been prioritized at CBSC18. The accepted submissions would need about 1,300,000 . The Work Programme allocates 730,000 . IRCC12 IRCC12-06A VTC, 6 7 October, 2020

12. Limited CB Fund The appeal of the CBSC last year to ascertain a minimum level of funds has led to a significant attention and fruitful discussions on all levels of the IHO. Capacity Building in Hydrography is a core strategic issue within the IHO, especially at IRCC and Council meetings. IRCC12 IRCC12-06A VTC, 6 7 October, 2020

13. Action requested of IRCC a. note the report, b. to note the significant effort from CB Coordinators to assess the needs in the region, to identify national and regional projects that may contribute to the CBWP and to coordinate the support for countries in need, c. to endorse the decisions and actions from CBSC and forward decision 9 to Assembly-2 d. take any further action as seen appropriate IRCC12 IRCC12-06A VTC, 6 7 October, 2020

14. Decision 9 CBSC18 a. recognizes the importance and very high potential of distant learning or e-learning for the improvement and extension of Capacity Building activities in hydrography. b. specifies e-learning in this proposal as all forms of learning, where electronic or digital media are being used for presentation and distribution of learning material and/or to support communication in learning. c. is aware that the CoVID-19 pandemic and its consequences puts much more pressure on the development of e-learning means. d. sees that e-learning development is extremely limited with the current capabilities of the IHO CB Fund. e. therefore welcomes the initiative and generous offer from Republic of Korea to establish and support an IHO e-Learning Center, to provide the infrastructure and to cooperate with IHO, its Member States and industry. f. suggests to further develop the structure and framework of an IHO e-Learning Center together with ROK and IBSC by setting up a Project Team and to report to IRCC12, so this can be taken to A-2, where the inputs from the CBSC are expected as in ACL-19.
