Introduction to Maritime Security and Sustainable Blue Economy Course (IMSSBEC) officially begun on 7 July 2025 at the Peace and Conflict Studies School.
The five-day course is sponsored by the Government of Japan through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It aims to enhance participants’ knowledge, skills and attitudes on maritime security, ocean governance and the role of women in sustainable blue economy.
IMSS 4
This is the first Kenya-only pilot course under the newly reviewed IMSSBEC curriculum. The curriculum was revised earlier this year with support from the Government of Japan through UNDP.

β€œThe importance of maritime security and the sustainable blue economy cannot be overstated. Kenya's geostrategic position along the Indian Ocean, its economic reliance on maritime trade, and its ambitions in blue economy innovation place us at the heart of regional maritime conversations. Yet challengesβ€”such as Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, climate risks, cyber threats, and limited interagency coordinationβ€”continue to threaten our maritime domain. Additionally, there is a pressing need to enhance gender representation and inclusion in maritime spaces, in line with national and international frameworks. This course, therefore, comes at a critical time,” emphasized Commandant Peace and Conflict Studies School, Colonel Emma Ngigi.IMSS 3
Over the next five days, participants will engage in lectures, case studies, group exercises, guided discussions, and scenario-based learning.
