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 Element 3.2 Regional Hydrographic Commissions and the HCA Element 3.3 Capacity Building Element 3.4 Coordination of Global Surveying and Charting Coverage Element 3.5 Maritime Safety Information Element 3.6 Ocean Mapping Programme Element 3.7 Marine Spatial Data Infrastructures Element 3.8 International Standards for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers Annex A to C1-4.2 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).
