A collaboration between the Presidential Delivery Bureau (PDB) and the Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries (MoBEF) of Zanzibar, Tanzania, led to the organization of a three-day Mini Delivery Lab (MDL) in October 2023 whose primary objective was to formulate implementation roadmaps for the key priorities within MoBEF’s blue economy sector.
Financial support for the MDL was provided by WIOMSA’s SCALABLE project, while technical assistance came from the Tony Blair Institute (TBI).
The outcomes of the lab were significant, resulting in the creation of five implementation roadmaps. These roadmaps were developed for the president’s highest-priority areas within the fisheries, seaweed aquaculture, marine conservation, anchovies, and downstream oil & gas value chains. It’s anticipated that most of these initiatives will be implemented by the conclusion of 2025.
