Contents Main developments and achievements in IHO CB Mayor challenges in IHO Capacity Building CB Management Contribution to Capacity Building CB Work Programme E-Learning Statistics and Performance Indicators Proposals

Main Developments and Achievements (1) IHO Capacity Building developing very successful. Strict use of IHO CB Strategy Clear structure of processes and smooth execution Almost reached the limit with the resources available To reach this development the following contributions have to be acknowledged especially: generous contribution from ROK generous contribution from Nippon Foundation

Main Developments and Achievements (2) To reach this development the following contributions have to be acknowledged especially (cont.): in-kind support from MS and Industry for CB execution work of the RHC CB Coordinators and Project Leaders contribution from France for EAtHC Definition Study work done by UK on CMEP, OECS and Commonwealth Seabed Mapping Programme work of NZ for the risk assessment and the PRNI Excellent support of Alberto Costa Neves

Main Developments and Achievements (3) CB Funds: regular contributions from IHO Budget increased Balance at the end of the year small E-learning, blended-learning and TFT initiatives. Several initiatives are ongoing, namely EAHC/Training Research and Development Center (TRDC), project on MSI in the EAtHC.

Major challenges (1) Capacity Building Assistance in the IHO Secretariat The successful operation and further enhancement is at risk or even impossible without additional Capacity Building Assistance Significant increase in the level of activities other competing IHO requirements/priorities Noted by EIHC-5 (Decision No.2) Report of WP 1 at Assembly1 (item 78-80).

Major challenges (2) Capacity Building Assistance in the IHO Secretariat (cont.) CBSC Secretary too much involved in administrative work and other tasks in the Secretariat. Time needed to assist the CBSC in the development of the CB and the realization of the CB Strategy.

Major challenges (3) Additional Capacity Building Assistance needs: Development of the CB Management System Integration with IHO GIS, CIS, document-system Validation of Student and Trainer Databases Process submissions and requests Maintenance of CB Publications Development of CB Procedures Assessment of the reports of the CB Activities Provide base knowledge available in the Secretariat to Technical Visit Team Leaders

Major challenges (4) Additional Capacity Building Assistance needs: Provide mentoring to CB Coordinators Development and maintenance of the CB at the IHO website Development of best practices and questions and answers guide Collate performance indicators and statistics Liaison with project partners Management of projects Knowledge in the cooperation with donor agencies Other clerical support in CB execution

Major challenges (5) Need of additional funds Available CB Funds provided are less than needed to even cover the expenses of projects with a higher priority. The number of submissions from the RHCs is stagnating due to the limited chances of getting funded. Member States can support the CB. Make use of national experts to get funds for projects.

Major challenges (6) Joint Capacity Building efforts with IMO The formerly very productive joint work with the IMO has ceased Joint CB meeting cancelled Disadvantageous that IMO ITCP does not provide cooperation with the IHO in CB A success of comprehensive projects will depend on a good cooperation between organizations

Major challenges (7) CB Coordinators. Necessary to nominate CB Coordinators permanently and allow participation in CBSC. SEPRHC still changes the CB Coordinator too often. Disadvantageous for the acceptance of projects and the allocation of CB funds. A cooperation with neighboring RHCs can improve the effectiveness of projects and thus also the chances to be funded.

CB Management The following CB Procedures have been adopted Procedure 10: Management Plan Procedure 11: Assessment of the Status of CB Phases Procedure 12: Certificate for the Completion of CB Activities

Contribution to CB Contribution from Republic of Korea Republic of Korea contributes significantly to the IHO CB Funding of students from IHO MS for the CAT A course at USM, Training for Trainer project, CAT B Module Course program held in Busan, ROK. Contribution of Japan through the Nippon Foundation (NF) IHO has implemented the NF-IHO Cartography, Hydrography and Related Training (NF-IHO CHART) Project, fully funded by the NF. Support from other MS and external support (i.e. Industry).
