Assessment of GI WACAF component

Following the activities implemented by the project in the WACAF region, progress in the preparedness of countries of the region is assessed through several indicators that are presented graphically here.

Status (in real time) of the adopted oil spill preparedness indicators in the 21 countries of the project area: Chart. The Live (real time) of the adopted oil spill preparedness indicators in the 21 countries of the project area as assessed by GI WACAF focal points describes the percentage of countries which have: designated a competent authority ratified the OPRC 90 convention developed an oil spill contingency plan ratified regional agreements participated to training workshop or oil spill response exercises Considered to have a level of oil spill response equipment available which was adapted to the oil spill risk faced

Status of the adopted oil spill preparedness indicators in the 21 countries of the project area in April 2006,: Chart. The status of the adopted oil spill preparedness indicators in the 21 countries of the project area, as assessed by GI WACAF focal points at the beginning of the project in April 2006 describes the percentage of countries which have: designated a competent authority ratified the OPRC 90 convention developed an oil spill contingency plan ratified regional agreements participated to training workshop or oil spill response exercises considered to have a level of oil spill response equipment available which was adapted to the oil spill risk faced

Number of listed IMO-IPIECA national workshop conducted in country and participation rate to regional IMO-IPIECA activities: Chart. The graph showing for each country, the number of recognised IMO-IPIECA national workshop conducted in country and participation rate in other regional IMO/IPIECA activities  underlines the involvement of the countries in IMO/IPIECA oil spill preparedness activities.

Percentage of countries which have ratified each of the main IMO International Conventions (covering spill prevention, preparedness and compensation): Chart. This graph displayed the percentage of international conventions ratified in the GI WACAF project area. GI WACAF Project aims at encouraging the ratification and implementation of Conventions related to preparedness and compensation.

Live status of oil spill contingency planning development in the project area: Chart. Live status of oil spill contingency planning development in the project area assessed by GI WACAF focal points present the state of development (developed, approved, implemented, tested) of the oils spill contingency plan in the project area. It also shows the number of countries which have policy instruments in place regarding the use of dispersants.

Live status indicators showing the degree of environmental sensitivity mapping development in the project area.: Chart. This graph underlines the state of the coastal sensitivity maps development (developed and integrated to the plan, developed with GIS tools, from ESI methodology, development of a paper atlas and identification of sensitivity site) as assessed by GI WACAF focal points.
