3 Capacity Building Strategy  CBSC revised the Capacity Building Strategy  IRCC was kept involved in the revision process all the time  The revised CB strategy was presented at EIHC-5. The Conference endorsed the revised CB Strategy unanimously.  All the comments received from the delegates were positive.  This revised Strategy is considered as an excellent basis for the future work in Capacity Building.

4 Capacity Building Strategy  Capacity Building issues played a prominent role at 5 EIHC – The CB poster exhibition, topics and presentations improved the visibility and highlighted the importance of CB to a wide audience.  CBSC is working on further PR measures. The posters from the CB exhibition at EIHC 5 will be made available at the IHO Capacity Building web page.  All IHO MS are invited to use them to further spread the importance, needs and the success of CB during other occasions.

5 CB Management  CB Coordinators – All RHCs (except ARHC) should be represented at the CBSC and its meetings. USCHC representative was highly missed. – also highly recommended that CB Coordinators are nominated for at least two years and don´t change with the RHC chair (CB Coordinator Terms of Reference, paragraph 2 and 5)  Improvement of C-55 – The current C-55 is still the only basis for the status of Hydrography worldwide. – CBSC recommends that an online update of C-55 should be given the highest priority within the further development of that publication.

6 CB Management  MSDI training and education  CB Procedures – Procedure 9 “Guidelines to conduct Technical Visits” has been drafted. The draft procedure will be reviewed together with the experiences gained before a final adoption at the CBSC14.  The timeliness and completeness of the submissions have improved very much in recent years. The Sub-Committee extends its thanks to the RHCs for their efforts in this regard.  Performance Indicators

8 Joint Capacity Building  Annual Joint CB Coordination meeting of IHO, IMO, IOC, WMO, IALA, FIG and IAEA FIG office in Copenhagen, Denmark, November 2014.  This informal cooperation is very helpful to – exchange the information and share the experiences, – come up with common projects, – foster the visibility of CB programmes globally.  Currently, the joint group is working on the development of a joint complex CB project.

9 Challenges (1)  growing success of CB growing administrative  growing success of CB → growing administrative – The CBSC wishes to highlight the fundamental support from Ms. Bianca Costin, CB Assistant at the IHB mid of 2013 to end of 2014 – the missing support has a negative effect on the CB Management – the execution of the Capacity Building Work Programme for 2015 and the following years is at risk. – Interim solution by allocating funds for CB assistance  Continuing limitations for the administrative support of the CB at the IHB has the potential to adversely affect the CB work programme.  Continuing limitations for the administrative support of the CB at the IHB has the potential to adversely affect the CB work programme.

11 CB Work Programme  Capacity Building Work Programme 2015 – WP 2015 has been updated. – Expenditures are planned of roughly 900.000€ – The available budget will completely be used to execute the CBWP – If not all activities are being executed, a small amount of funds will be transferred to 2016.

13 CB Work Programme  RHCs are strongly encouraged to submit projects for 2017.  Good and sufficient submissions are as important as the funds and no funds will be allocated without a good perspective for the CB activities.  Every effort should be made to get involved in comprehensive projects in the regions. Some RHCs are already very successful in doing this.  projects that embrace several disciplines besides hydrography can be the next step of IHO CB
