Key cooperative strategies

Strengthen PSC and ISPS code to build regional MS frameworks and integrate into an international MS framework

Requires taking some hard decisions at the political level in IR

Countries frame MS policy and enact national legislation to meet obligations in MZ

Requires national commitment to MS building and dispute resolution

Constabulary high-demand high-usage maritime forces equipped to deal with enforcement and security challenges up to 200 nm

Requires capacity building

Move towards multilateral maritime co-operation graduating to an MS alliance in regions

Requires shift in foreign policies of nations
