The Marine Environment
Division of IMO also executes a number of donor funded major projects in the
area of marine environment protection and this is in line with the high level
strategies of the Organization related to technical cooperation and capacity building
in developing countries and also in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development
Goals. Major projects provide the opportunity to augment the regular
Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP) of the Organization by
focussing on high priority needs of its Member States through thematic and
programmatic interventions over a period of time, typically 3 to 5 years.
