Blue Voices Roundtable Virtual Registration

Blue Voices Roundtable is a flagship event under The Jahazi Project, a regional program dedicated to amplifying community perspectives and strengthening policy engagement around sustainable marine resource management. Through the Blue Voices Roundtable, coastal communities, policymakers, researchers, and development actors come together to address pressing challenges related to Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing (IUUF) in East Africa.

The Jahazi Project, organized and facilitated by Ascending Africa, works to bridge the gap between local fishing communities and decision-makers by promoting inclusive dialogue and actionable solutions for the region’s blue economy. By aligning community-driven insights with regional and global frameworks, the project strengthens collective action against IUUF and fosters long-term sustainability of marine resources.

Ascending Africa is a pan-African organization committed to advancing sustainable development and innovative solutions to the continent’s most pressing challenges. Through initiatives like The Jahazi Project, Ascending Africa leverages advocacy, partnerships, and youth engagement to drive transformative change and support Africa’s long-term prosperity.
