In recognition of the demanding responsibilities they shoulder, it is essential to provide them with adequate and appropriate infrastructure that supports their well-being and enables them to perform their duties effectively,\u201d stated the Prime Minister, Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam, yesterday, at the inauguration of the new police station at Baie du Tombeau<br><\/p>\nThe Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Gender Equality and Family Welfare, Mrs Marie Arianne Navarre-Marie, Ministers, and Members of the National Assembly. were also present.<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Prior to the event, the Prime Minister proceeded with the inauguration of the Beach Soccer Pitch at Baie du Tombeau, providing a dedicated space for sports, recreation and leisure in the community. He called on the inhabitants to avail this new facility in a responsible manner. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In his address, Prime Minister Ramgoolam reaffirmed Government\u2019s commitment to strengthening national security, improving the well-being of police officers and modernising the infrastructure and equipment required for effective law enforcement. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He further pointed out that women police officers often work in deplorable conditions without the necessary facilities while emphasising that modern infrastructure is essential to enable police officers to discharge their responsibilities with greater professionalism, efficiency and dignity.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He also highlighted the need for updated equipment, appropriate facilities and a promotion system based on meritocracy. Police officers who perform their duties diligently and demonstrate commitment, discipline and professionalism should be given due recognition and opportunities for career advancement, he said. \n<br>As regards the fight against drugs, Dr Ramgoolam emphasised Government\u2019s determination to combat the scourge, noting the significant quantities of illicit drugs being confiscated through the efforts of law enforcement agencies. He spoke of the challenges arising from Mauritius\u2019 vast maritime zone, which makes surveillance and enforcement particularly demanding. He thus highlighted the need for enhanced cooperation with international partners, including India and France, in strengthening maritime security. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He indicated that an agreement with India was signed for enhanced surveillance capabilities, including radar and camera systems to identify and track vessels, as well as the increased utilisation of drones. He further announced that an Offshore Patrol Vessel, equipped with modern technology and capabilities, will be acquired to reinforce maritime surveillance and protection of the country\u2019s territorial waters.\n<br>Moreover, Prime Minister Ramgoolam reassured the inhabitants that no waste plant will be constructed in the region of Baie du Tombeau in a bid to better protect their health and well-being. Despite economic restraints, he reiterated that Government\u2019s approach is centred on results, accountability, discipline and meritocracy, with the objective of building a modern, efficient and professional Police Force. \n<br>Following the two events, the Prime Minister also attended the inaugural Mass of the Grotto of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, at the Dockers\u2019 Village in Baie du Tombeau. <\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>15 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nan endeavour to digitalise public services, the Motor Vehicle Licence (MVL)\nSystem enabling taxi operators to make online payments\nfor Road Tax, was launched today in presence of the Minister of Land Transport,\nMr Mahomed Osman Cassam Mahomed, and the Minister of Information Technology,\nCommunication and Innovation, Dr Avinash Ramtohul, in Port-Louis.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">On\nthe occasion, the official website of the Taxi Operators Welfare Fund (TOWF),\nproviding an accessible platform for information on the Fund and its\nactivities, was also unveiled.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nhis remarks, Minister Mahomed highlighted the important role played by taxi\noperators in the daily commute of citizens, particularly in providing transport\nduring emergencies. He stressed that reinforcing the TOWF would contribute to\nimproving the welfare of taxi operators and enable them to benefit from various\ngrants and schemes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nalso underlined a range of digitalisation projects being undertaken in\ncollaboration with the Ministry of Information Technology, Communication and\nInnovation. These include online payment of tax declarations, the penalty-point\nsystem, digital driving licences and a fleet management system.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Furthermore,\nMinister Mahomed stated that the existing system of the National Land Transport\nAuthority was obsolete adding that a tender had been launched to upgrade and\nenhance its performance. Both Ministries are also collaborating on the\nintroduction of cashless ticketing and a smart parking application aimed at\nimproving efficiency.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">With\nregard to regulations for online booking platforms, he pointed out that some 3,000\ntaxi operators are already registered on an electronic platform, underscoring\nthe need for an appropriate regulatory framework.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For\nhis part, Minister Ramtohul stated that the launch is in line with\nGovernment\u2019s vision, as outlined in the Digital Transformation Blueprint, to\nmodernise public services and make them more accessible to citizens. The new\nonline system, he noted, would help reduce queues at Post Offices and NLTA\noffices while also providing a database of taxi operators. He encouraged taxi\noperators to register on MAUPASS to facilitate access to digital public\nservices.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nfurther recalled that a number of services are already available through the\nKOREK super app, including the Artificial Intelligence-enabled water leakage\nreporting service of the Central Water Authority, real-time\nnational power supply information of the Central Electricity Board, the\npenalty-point system and online driving licence services, thereby providing\ncitizens with quicker and easier access to public services.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Fund,\nestablished under the TOWF Act 2021, aims to cater for the advancement and\npromotion of the welfare of taxi operators in Mauritius and their families. It provides a range of schemes namely medical assistance scheme, death grant\nscheme, hardship scheme and educational grant scheme. Out of a total of 7,802\ntaxi operators, 6,567 are currently registered with the TOWF. <\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>21 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Technology, Transport<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Responsible Use of Social Media In Mauritius<\/h1>\r\n<div style=\"\r\n max-width: 100%;\r\n border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;\r\n padding: 5px;\r\n border-radius: 6px;\r\n background:#f9f9f9;\r\n\">\r\n\r\n<object data=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgisnews.govmu.org%2FGalleryFile%2FGetCommuniqueDocument%3FnewsId%3D1834%26communiquesFileName%3DCOMMUNIQU%C3%89+on+Responsible+Use+of+Social+Media.pdf&embedded=true\"\r\n type=\"application\/pdf\"\r\n style=\"\r\n width: 100%;\r\n height: 1030px;\r\n border: 1px solid #ccc;\r\n border-radius: 4px;\r\n display:block;\r\n \">\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px;

A\nSub-Commission of the CLCS was established in March 2014 to examine the\nSubmission.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\n2016, Mauritius requested a temporary pause in the examination to enable the\nacquisition of additional scientific data and further strengthening of the\nSubmission. Following the completion of the technical examination, a Mauritian\ndelegation made its final presentation to the CLCS in February 2026.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">After\nconsidering the recommendations of the Sub-Commission and the explanations\nprovided by Mauritius, the CLCS approved the Recommendations on 30 July 2026.\nThe Recommendations recognise Mauritius\u2019 entitlement to an extended continental\nshelf in the Rodrigues region, with outer limits covering approximately 147,000\nsquare kilometres.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\ndecision marks a major national milestone in the administration of Mauritius\u2019\nmaritime zones and is expected to have significant long-term implications for\nmarine scientific research, ocean governance, marine spatial

justify\">\u201cMauritius needs people who are prepared to think differently because\nthe world around us is changing very quickly,\u201d stated the Minister of Industry,\nSME and Cooperatives, Mr Aadil Ameer Meea, today, as he called\nfor a culture of innovation, productivity and problem-solving to be nurtured\namong young people from an early age.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He was speaking at the InnovEd 2026 Award Ceremony held at the Atal\nBihari Vajpayee Institute of Public Service and Innovation in R\u00e9duit. The\nMinister of Education and Human Resource, Dr Mahend Gungapersad; the\nChairperson of the National Productivity and Competitiveness Council (NPCC), Mr\nArshad Duymun; the Executive Director of the NPCC, Dr Vinaye Ancharaz;\neducators; students; and other stakeholders also attended the event.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Ameer Meea highlighted that initiatives such as InnovEd provide\na glimpse of the Mauritius of tomorrow by encouraging young people to come\nforward with ideas, identify problems and think differently about possible\nsolutions. Innovation, he pointed out, can begin with a simple idea and the\ndetermination to address an existing problem.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He emphasised that productivity goes beyond producing more and also\ninvolves improving the way people work, using technology intelligently,\nreducing waste and making better use of skills and resources. Through InnovEd,\nstudents thus develop practical skills by identifying problems, working\ncollaboratively and devising solutions, he observed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Moreover, Minister Ameer Meea dwelt on Government\u2019s investment in Artificial\nIntelligence (AI), including a National AI Learning Platform aimed at training\n50,000 Mauritians in practical AI skills. He further informed that Government\nwill soon introduce a new Industry Bill to support industrialisation and\nreposition Mauritius as a stronger manufacturing and export platform, with\nemphasis on higher-value activities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For his part, Minister Gungapersad commended the creativity, teamwork\nand vision demonstrated by students. He expressed satisfaction that young\npeople were identifying problems around them and working together to devise\nsolutions, before outlining the importance of developing a solution-driven\nculture among the younger generation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He also seized the opportunity to commend parents, teachers and rectors\nwho have accompanied the participants through this journey.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for NPCC\u2019s Chairperson, he remarked that innovation opens new\nmarkets, creates new jobs and gives students the power to shape the future they\nwant for themselves. He commended all participants for having demonstrated\nthat, with an innovative mindset and hard work, their ideas can make a\ndifference in our society. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">NPCC\u2019s Executive Director, for his part, stated that InnovEd 2026 was\nlaunched in February this year, with 81 teams from 50 schools competing in the\nfirst assessment in June, out of which 32 were chosen for the final assessment.\nIn addition, he dwelt on the NPCC\u2019s mandate and reflected on the importance of\nbuilding a culture of productivity a young age.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Participants had the opportunity to present projects around six themes,\nnamely: Interactive Media; Cultural Heritage; Languages and Publishing;\nPerforming Arts; Visual Arts and Crafts; and Design. Winners and runners-up received cash\nprizes of Rs 20,000 and Rs 10,000, respectively.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Winners and runners-up are as follows:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Interactive Media<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Winner: London College<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Lorizon \u2013 Bringing Light to Your Every Day Life<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Runner-up: Queen Elizabeth College<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: CareerPath Mauritius<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Cultural Heritage<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Winner: Ramsoondar Prayag SSS<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: ECO Ravanne<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Runner-up: Quatre Bornes SSS<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: RassinNouPei: The smart Heritage flour<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Languages and Publishing<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Winner: Ramsoondar Prayag SSS<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Vindaye 2.0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Runner-up: Patten College Girls<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Healing Ourselves: A Poem for Wellness<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Performing Arts<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Winner: France Boyer de la Giroday SSS<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Be a light and spread the light<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Runner-up: Muslim Girls College<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Healthy Stage: Perform, Learn, Eat Better<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Visual Arts and Crafts<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Winner: Muslim Girls College<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: ECO-DECO<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Runner-up: Droopnath Ramphul State College<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Verdant Steel<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Design<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Winner: Ebene SSS (Boys)<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Upcycled Coffee Table<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Runner-up: Anaias Andre Le Chou College<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Title of project: Furniture from waste Paper<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>18 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Others, Youth, Innovation<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Industrial Development: UNIDO launches groundwork for new Strategic Plan for Mauritius<\/h1><div id='gallery-1845' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1845' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1845' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8012' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8013' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1845' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1845' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The United\nNations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has started preparatory\nwork for the elaboration of a new Strategic Plan for Mauritius\u2019 industrial\nsector. On that score, a team of UNIDO experts is currently in Mauritius for\nconsultations with key stakeholders.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The experts met,\non 17 August 2026, with the Minister of Industry, SMEs and Cooperatives, Mr\nAadil Ameer Meea, for a better understanding of Government\u2019s vision for the\nindustrial sector, as well as the realities, challenges and ambitions shaping\nMauritius\u2019 industrial development.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Discussions\nfocused on the broad directions envisaged for the sector in the coming years\nand on reforms being prepared by the Ministry, including the forthcoming\nIndustry Bill and SME Bill.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">During the\nmeeting, Minister Ameer Meea outlined the economic transformation of Mauritius\u2019\neconomy shifting from a largely dependent economy on sugar cane to a\ndiversified development strategy encompassing textiles, manufacturing, tourism\nand financial services. He, however, highlighted the gradual decline in the\ncontribution of the manufacturing sector to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), from\naround 20 percent in the past to approximately 13 percent today.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister\nstressed the need to reverse this trend in order to strengthen the resilience\nof the economy and reduce its dependence on imports. The successive crises,\nincluding the COVID-19 pandemic and international geopolitical tensions, have\nhighlighted the vulnerability of a small island economy that relies heavily on\nexternal supplies.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In this context,\nstrengthening local production and promoting import substitution are expected\nto feature prominently in the country\u2019s future industrial strategy.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Repositioning\nMauritius as a manufacturing hub<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Discussions with\nUNIDO resource persons also focused on Government\u2019s ambition to reposition\nMauritius as a manufacturing hub and a leading industrial player in the region,\nbuilding on the country\u2019s nearly five decades of experience in textiles and\nmanufacturing.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The forthcoming\nIndustry Bill will constitute an important component of the new industrial\nframework. Among the measures discussed was the proposed establishment of an\nIndustry and Export Development Agency, which would provide greater focus on\nmanufacturing development, exports and investment promotion in the industrial\nsector.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Government also\nintends to set clear targets regarding the sector\u2019s contribution to GDP,\nexports and import substitution. One of the ambitions discussed is to\nprogressively restore the manufacturing sector\u2019s contribution to around 20\npercent of GDP.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Focus on\ninnovation and new industrial activities<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The future\ntransformation of the industrial sector will also take into account changing\nproduction costs and competitiveness requirements. Discussions therefore\ncovered automation, Industry 4.0, innovation and the development of\nhigher-value-added activities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Potential areas\nfor diversification comprise technology, medical devices, engineering and\ncomponent manufacturing, electronics, as well as the circular economy and the transformation\nof waste into resources for new industrial activities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mauritius\u2019\nstrategic geographical position and preferential access to several markets,\nparticularly in Africa, were also highlighted as advantages that could be\nfurther leveraged to attract productive investment and boost exports.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The discussions\nfurther focused on the need to strengthen linkages between industry, research\ninstitutions, universities, innovation, new technologies and the start-up ecosystem,\nwhile improving coordination among the relevant Ministries and institutions.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Alongside the\nIndustry Bill, Minister Ameer Meea indicated that a new SME Bill is under preparation\nwith a view to adapting the regulatory framework governing small and medium\nenterprises to current economic realities and the challenges ahead.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The UNIDO\nexperts will pursue their mission with consultations with various stakeholders\nin the industrial sector. The fieldwork and consultations will contribute to\nthe preparation of the new Strategic Plan, which will set out the priorities\nand strategic directions for the development of Mauritius\u2019 industrial sector in\nthe years ahead.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

He stressed that the Ministry has a responsibility to\nprovide the necessary support to both learners and educators to facilitate an\ninclusive and conducive learning environment.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Gungapersad underlined that specialised pedagogical equipment can be\ncostly and not readily accessible. The provision of the Perkins Braillers, he\nindicated, forms part of efforts to ensure that visually impaired learners are\nequipped with the tools required to participate fully in the education system\nand pursue their academic goals.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister also commended educators for their dedication, patience and\ncommitment in accompanying visually impaired learners throughout their\neducational journey. He equally acknowledged the important role of parents and\ntheir continued support in helping their children overcome challenges and\nfulfil their aspirations.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For her part, Mrs Munnee expressed appreciation to the Ministry for\nproviding the Perkins Braillers. She observed that the machines will enable the\nstudents to write independently and pursue their studies more effectively.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">She further\npointed out that the effective use of a Perkins Brailler requires specific\nskills and emphasised the key role of educators in helping learners master its\nuse effectively.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Perkins Braillers were presented to the two students following their\noutstanding performance in an essay competition organised in the context of the\nNational Day celebrations 2026. The machines will support them in their\nlearning and preparations for the forthcoming Primary School Achievement\nCertificate Assessment.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify;

Programme, implemented by the Ministry of Labour and\nIndustrial Relations, was held, yesterday, at the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee\nTower in Eb\u00e8ne. The Minister of Labour\nand Industrial Relations, Mr Muhammad Reza Cassam Uteem, was present at the\nceremony.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Thus,\nsome 44 trainees were enrolled in the Digital Proficiency Course delivered by\nthe Mauritius Digital Promotion Agency; 23 participants received certificates\nfor the Advanced Pastry Preparation Course delivered by the \u00c9cole H\u00f4teli\u00e8re Sir\nGa\u00ebtan Duval and the Mauritius Institute of Training and Development; 33\nparticipants completed the Ageing and Managing Disability Course delivered by\nPolytechnics Mauritius Ltd; and 30 trainees were awarded certificates for the\nSmart Agri-Business Course, conducted by Polytechnics Mauritius Ltd in\ncollaboration with the Food and Agricultural Research and Extension Institute.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nprogrammes aimed at aligning the skills and qualifications of unemployed\npersons with the requirements of the labour market through skills development\nand training, with a view to bridging existing skills gaps and enhancing employability.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nhis address, the Minister congratulated the awardees on the successful\ncompletion of their respective courses and commended them for the sacrifices\nthey had made to achieve this. He also thanked the Ministry\u2019s various partners,\nincluding the Human Resource Development Council, for their contribution to the\nimplementation of the Employability Enhancement Programmes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">According\nto Mr Uteem, the Ministry was committed to assisting and supporting jobseekers\nin becoming financially independent and self-reliant by enhancing their\nemployability. He recalled that there was often a mismatch between the skills\ndemanded by employers and those available in the labour market. In addition,\nchanging industry requirements and technological advancements had contributed\nto widening this gap.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister stressed, therefore, the need to develop initiatives that would enable\npeople to acquire the relevant competencies and skills required to secure\nemployment in the current labour market.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Moreover,\nMinister Uteem encouraged the successful trainees to take advantage of the\nvarious opportunities and schemes offered by ministries and organisations,\nincluding SME Mauritius Ltd and Landscope Mauritius Ltd. He also invited them\nto consider entrepreneurship as a viable career option and encouraged them to\nbecome entrepreneurs.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>19 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Youth, Employment, Training<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Amendment of Twenty-One entries on the ISIL (Da\u2019esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List<\/h1>\r\n<div style=\"\r\n max-width: 100%;\r\n border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;\r\n padding: 5px;\r\n border-radius: 6px;\r\n background:#f9f9f9;\r\n\">\r\n\r\n<object data=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgisnews.govmu.org%2FGalleryFile%2FGetCommuniqueDocument%3FnewsId%3D1852%26communiquesFileName%3DAmendment+of+21+Entries+on+the+ISIL+and+Al-Qaida+Sanctions+List.pdf&embedded=true\"\r\n type=\"application\/pdf\"\r\n style=\"\r\n width: 100%;\r\n height: 1030px;\r\n border: 1px solid #ccc;\r\n border-radius: 4px;\r\n display:block;\r\n \">\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px;

style=\"text-align: justify\">The Precision Farming\/AI-Driven Food Production Scheme was officially launched, yesterday in R\u00e9duit, by the Food and Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (FAREI), marking a step towards the wider adoption of smart technologies in Mauritius\u2019 agricultural sector. The event also featured the presentation of revised agricultural schemes, following a review aimed at strengthening support for farmers and better addressing the sector\u2019s current needs and challenges.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries, Dr Arvin Boolell; the Junior Minister, Mr Gilles Fabrice David; the Chief Executive Officer of FAREI, Dr (Ms) Madhvee Madhou; and other personalities were present on the occasion.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Precision Farming\/AI-Driven Food Production Scheme will support farmers in adopting technologies such as drones, weather stations, soil and plant sensors, smart irrigation systems and digital advisory platforms to increase productivity, reduce production costs and strengthen the resilience of agricultural activities. Eligible beneficiaries may receive a grant of up to Rs 2 million, subject to a 50% contribution. The grant will be disbursed in three instalments over a 24-month project period, based on verification and satisfactory progress.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In his address, Dr Boolell underlined that modernising agriculture requires closer collaboration among farmers, breeders, researchers and technology specialists. He stressed the importance of innovation and technologies adapted to local conditions, including the safe and responsible use of drones for precision applications, to improve productivity and add value to agricultural production. He also encouraged young people to take an active role in agriculture and contribute to the sector\u2019s future through innovation and technology.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Boolell further emphasised the need to strengthen the resilience of agriculture in the face of climate change and other global challenges affecting food production. He called for continued investment in agricultural research, infrastructure, innovation and suitable crop varieties, while supporting local producers and maintaining a balanced approach to food imports to enhance food security and ensure the long-term sustainability of the sector.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For his part, Junior Minister David spoke about the potential of precision farming to improve efficiency while reducing the use of water, fertilisers, energy and other resources. He noted that technologies such as sensors, drones, robotics and artificial intelligence, supported by renewable energy, can optimise farm operations and promote more sustainable production.

justify\">As\npart of Government\u2019s budgetary measures to support the fishing community, some\n725 fishers received first aid kits and ice boxes, while 17 others were\nprovided with personal locator beacons during symbolic handing-over ceremonies\nheld yesterday at the Village Halls of Bambous Virieux and Mahebourg. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nequipment is intended to enhance fishers\u2019 safety and preparedness and enable a\nmore effective response to emergencies at sea. \nWith 2,483 registered fishers, including 149 women, Mauritius\u2019 fishing\ncommunity is set to benefit from a nationwide distribution programme covering\nall 14 fisheries posts, ensuring that every registered fisher receives a first\naid kit.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries, Dr Arvin\nBoolell; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and\nInternational Trade, Mr Dhananjay Ramful; the Junior Minister of Agro-Industry,\nFood Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries, Mr Gilles Fabrice David, the Junior\nMinister of Health and Wellness, Mrs Anishta Babooram, Junior Minister of Youth\nand Sports, Mr Gilbert Tony Apollon as well as Members of Parliament attended\nthe ceremonies.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nhis address, Minister Boolell highlighted the vast potential of the blue\neconomy and encouraged fishers to tap into sea-based opportunities to diversify\ntheir activities, grow their businesses and improve their livelihoods.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nunderscored Government\u2019s collaboration with the Global Environment Facility and\nthe United Nations Development Programme through initiatives such as AfriSIDS\nand ECOFISH, noting that Rs 30 million has been secured to support fishers in\nmoving from overfished lagoon waters towards sustainable offshore fishing.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\ninitiatives, he underlined will provide training in the use of modern fish\naggregating devices and support the expansion of the semi-industrial fishing\nfleet. This\nwill enable Mauritian fishers to venture beyond the lagoon into more productive\nfishing grounds, increase their catch and contribute to the country\u2019s food\nsecurity, he said.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nBoolell indicated that Government is providing a range of facilities to support\nand protect the fishing community, including financial assistance for the\nacquisition of larger canottes and support for the installation of solar energy\nsystems on fishing boats.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nRamful, for his part, stated that Government aims to triple fish production\nfrom 5,000 tonnes to 15,000 tonnes, while placing greater emphasis on\nsupporting and empowering artisanal fishers. Reaffirming Government\u2019s\ncommitment to their welfare, he highlighted the increase in the pension for\nretired artisanal fishers from Rs 52,000 to Rs 200,000, as well as financial\nassistance of Rs 300,000 for cooperative societies engaged in fishing\nactivities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Junior\nMinister David highlighted that Government is providing a one-off grant of Rs\n50,000 to registered fishers for the replacement of broken or irreparable\noutboard motors, alongside loan facilities available through the Development\nBank of Mauritius. He further indicated that fishers will receive first-aid\ntraining to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to respond\neffectively to emergencies at sea.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>20 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Fisheries<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>DOWNTIME \u2013 NLTA System<\/h1>\r\n<div style=\"\r\n max-width: 100%;\r\n border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;\r\n padding: 5px;\r\n border-radius: 6px;\r\n background:#f9f9f9;\r\n\">\r\n\r\n<object data=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgisnews.govmu.org%2FGalleryFile%2FGetCommuniqueDocument%3FnewsId%3D1868%26communiquesFileName%3DDOWNTIME+%E2%80%93+NLTA+System.pdf&embedded=true\"\r\n type=\"application\/pdf\"\r\n style=\"\r\n width: 100%;\r\n height: 1030px;\r\n border: 1px solid #ccc;\r\n border-radius: 4px;\r\n display:block;\r\n \">\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><\/p><p style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/GetCommuniqueDocument?newsId=1868&communiquesFileName=DOWNTIME%20\u2013%20NLTA%20System.pdf\" \r\n class=\"download-pdf-btn\" \r\n target=\"_blank\" \r\n download>\r\n <span class=\"pdf-icon\">\ud83d\udcc4<\/span>\r\n DOWNLOAD PDF\r\n <\/a><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>20 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Notices<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Mauritius and Australia discuss cooperation on new Domestic Abuse Act<\/h1><div id='gallery-1869' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1869' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1869' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1869' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1869' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8232' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8233' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8234' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8235' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1869' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1869' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As Mauritius prepares to bring the Domestic Abuse Act 2026 into operation, Australia has expressed its readiness to share expertise and experience in training magistrates and police officers. <br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">This was among the key areas of cooperation discussed, today in Port Louis, during a meeting between the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Gender Equality and Family Welfare, Mrs Marie Arianne Navarre-Marie, and the High Commissioner of Australia to Mauritius, Ms Kate Helen Chamley.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a statement, Ms Chamley described the friendship between Australia and Mauritius as warm and longstanding, noting that both countries share democratic traditions and strong social welfare systems.

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister of National Infrastructure, Mr Govindranath Gunness,\ncarried out site visits, yesterday at Commerson Street in Curepipe and Morcellement\nDomah at 16e Mille, where drainage works are being undertaken to\naddress flooding risks and enhance the safety of residents and buildings.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He was accompanied by the Minister of Tourism, Mr Christian Harold\nRichard Duval; the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Protection, Mr John\nMicha\u00ebl Tzoun Sao Yeung Sik Yuen; as well as other personalities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a statement following the visits, Minister Gunness highlighted that, at\nCommerson Street, the natural drainage path crossing the street is prone to\novertopping during every heavy downpour thus causing water accumulation and\nerosion of the surrounding soil strata. This, he pointed out, is affecting the\nadjoining buildings, including a shivala, which is located next to the natural\ndrain and is prone to structural cracks.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The works at Commerson Street, to the tune of some Rs 4.8 million,\nconsist of: the construction of a reinforced concrete drain of 1.5 metres wide and\n2 metres deep, with raised wall together with chain-link fencing of 1.5 metres\nhigh on one side over a stretch of approximately 24 metres; the replacement of the\nexisting handrail; and the cleaning of the natural drain. Works are expected to\nbe completed by mid-November 2026.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for Morcellement Domah, Minister Gunness observed that it has been\ndeclared as a high-risk flood Prone Area by the Land Drainage Authority. Persistent\nrainfall frequently causes recurrent flooding in the area, resulting in damage\nto residents\u2019 personal belongings and posing potential risks to human life, he\nunderlined.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The project, to the tune of Rs 68.9 million, comprises the construction\nof a reinforced concrete cut off drain of 1.5 to 4 metres wide and 1.5 to 4.5 metres\nin depth, with chain-link fencing of 1.5 metres high over a stretch of 650 metres;\nthe construction of three reinforced concrete culverts of 4 to 6 metres wide and\n1.5 metres deep across the track roads; the dredging and widening of the natural\ndrainage path to 5 metres wide and 1.5 metres deep over a stretch of 270 metres; and the construction of new 3.5 metre-wide track road over a stretch of 950 metres,\namongst others. Works are expected to be completed in August 2027.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to Minister Gunness, the implementation of these projects is geared towards\nenhancing the protection of the population and their property during heavy\nrainfall. He reaffirmed that, despite the prevailing economic challenges,\nGovernment remains committed to investing in essential infrastructure projects\naimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of citizens.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>20 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Others, Infrastructure<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Tourism operators encouraged to embrace sustainable practices<\/h1><div id='gallery-1872' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='4' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='5' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='6' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='7' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='8' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='9' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='10' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide-to='11' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8220' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8221' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8222' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8223' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8224' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8225' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8226' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8227' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8228' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8229' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8230' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8231' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1872' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Tourism operators are being encouraged to integrate sustainable\npractices into their daily operations to reduce their environmental footprint,\nsupport local communities and improve the long-term resilience and economic\nviability of their businesses.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">This call was made by the Junior Minister of Tourism, Mrs Marie Anabelle\nAndelana Savabaddy, this morning during the opening of a \u2018Workshop on\nSustainable Practices and Initiatives for Tourism Operators\u2019. The workshop,\norganised by the Tourism Authority in collaboration with the Organisation\nInternationale de la Francophonie, was also attended by the Director of the\nTourism Authority, Mr Loganaden Muneesamy, and tourism operators.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her address, the Junior Minister recalled that climate change,\ngeopolitical tensions, rising energy costs and the growing expectations of\ntravellers for greater social and environmental responsibility are compelling\nthe tourism sector to rethink its practices. She stressed that poorly managed\ntourism can exert pressure on natural resources and local communities, and that\ncontinuing with traditional practices is no longer sustainable.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mrs Savabaddy underlined that sustainable tourism should translate into\nconcrete action, particularly through better energy and waste management,\nreduced resource consumption, protection of the natural environment and greater\nsupport for the local economy and producers. She pointed out that tourism\nestablishments can contribute individually through measures such as saving\nenergy and water, limiting food wastage, and giving preference to locally\nsourced products.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br>\nShe further emphasised the importance of collaboration among tourism operators,\nincluding the sharing of good practices and the strengthening of professional\nnetworks. According to her, the adoption of environmental charters and codes of\nconduct can also contribute to promote Mauritius as a responsible destination\nthat respects both people and the environment.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The workshop aimed to equip operators of tourist residences, guest\nhouses and small hotels with practical approaches to improve energy efficiency,\nconserve water, minimise waste and manage resources more efficiently, while\nlowering operating costs and maintaining service quality.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br>\nParticipants were also introduced to the Horizon.eco platform, which enables\ntourism businesses to measure their impact in areas such as waste management\nalong with energy and water consumption, monitor progress and showcase their\nsustainability achievements to environmentally conscious visitors.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The workshop moreover covered water conservation, environmental\nprotection, waste sorting and recycling, food wastage, sustainable products and\nenergy efficiency, with a view to translating sustainability principles into\npractical measures that operators can implement within their establishments.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>20 August

He emphasised that this energy alliance is built\non a long-standing foundation, with India consistently serving as a reliable\npartner in meeting Mauritius' energy needs.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Hardeep Singh Puri pointed out that Mauritius\u2019\nfuel security will now rest on the assurance of the five-year supply commitment\nof the Indian oil cooperation covering the entirety of the import requirement of\nMauritius. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Indian Minister also informed that it is the first\nagreement of its kind that the Indian public sector oil company has concluded\noutside south Asia, which he underpinned is a testament of Mauritius\u2019 privileged\nrelations with India. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThis milestone in our energy partnership is yet\nanother expression of a truly special friendship that will continue to flourish\nthrough generations,\u201d the Minister stated.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>20 August 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Commerce, Bilateral cooperation<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>NEWS FEATURE- Maritime Training Academy: Preparing skilled workforce for careers at sea<\/h1><div id='gallery-1881' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide-to='4' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide-to='5' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide-to='6' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8142' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8143' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8144' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8145' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8146' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8147' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=8148' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1881' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Over the past two years, the Mauritius\nMaritime Training Academy (MMTA) has trained a total of 724 prospective\nseafarers including 415 trainees passing out in 2023\/24 and a further 309 in\n2024\/25. For many of these trainees, the Academy is more than a place of\nlearning: it is the first step towards a career at sea, with most students\nsecuring employment after completing their courses.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For the Head of the MMTA, Mr\nPraveen Makool, the figures reflect the Academy\u2019s important role in preparing\nskilled human resources for an increasingly specialised maritime sector.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cOur objective is not simply\nto train students and issue certificates. We want to equip them with the\npractical skills, discipline and knowledge required to work safely and\nprofessionally at sea. The fact that most of our trainees find employment after\ncompleting their courses demonstrates the relevance and effectiveness of the\ntraining we provide,\u201d he says.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Located at Pointe aux Sables,\nthe MMTA is Mauritius\u2019 sole public institution dedicated to maritime education\nand training for seafarers and prospective seafarers. Operating under the aegis\nof the Ministry of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries,\nthe Academy has been preparing maritime professionals for more than five\ndecades.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Its story dates back to 1970,\nwhen the idea of creating a Sea Training School emerged. With the assistance of\nthe Danish Government, the Sea Training School was established under the Ministry\nof Labour and Industrial Relations, during the tenure of the late Sir Harold\nWalter as Minister.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Where\nmaritime careers begin<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unlike conventional colleges\nand universities, the MMTA focuses on intensive, specialised training rather\nthan academic degrees. Its courses are designed to equip trainees with the\npractical and theoretical skills required to work safely and effectively onboard\nvessels.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to Mr Makool, the\npractical dimension of maritime training is particularly important. \u201cWorking at\nsea requires much more than theoretical knowledge. A seafarer must know how to\nreact in an emergency, how to protect himself and others, and how to perform\nhis duties efficiently under demanding conditions. Our training therefore\ncombines knowledge with practical competencies and a strong emphasis on\nsafety,\u201d he explains.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Academy currently has the\ncapacity to deliver around 20 courses, covering a wide range of maritime\ndisciplines.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">These include Basic Safety\nTraining, covering personal safety and social responsibilities, elementary\nfirst aid, fire prevention and firefighting, and personal survival techniques.\nOther programmes focus on crowd management, crisis management and human\nbehaviour, security awareness, survival craft and rescue boats, and training\nfor ratings working in navigational and engineering watches.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Trainees have the possibility\nto upgrade their qualifications as Able Seafarer (Deck) and Able Seafarer\n(Engine), while specialised programmes are available for oil tanker cargo\noperations and electro-technical officers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The fishing sector is also\ncatered for, with training programmes for skippers, second hands, chief\nengineers and second engineers of fishing vessels.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mr Makool points out that the\nrange of programmes enables the Academy to respond to different manpower needs\nwithin the maritime sector.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe maritime industry is\nbroad, and there are different levels of competence and specialisation\nrequired. We therefore need to provide training opportunities not only for\npeople entering the profession, but also for experienced seafarers who need\nrefresher training or wish to upgrade their qualifications,\u201d he says.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Training to\ninternational standards<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Behind the practical training\nis a strict international framework.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The MMTA delivers its courses\nin accordance with the International Maritime Organization\u2019s International\nConvention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for\nSeafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The STCW Convention\nestablishes minimum international standards for the training, certification and\nwatchkeeping of seafarers, ensuring that those working at sea possess the\ncompetencies required for their responsibilities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For Mr Makool, maintaining\nthese standards is fundamental to the Academy\u2019s credibility. \u201cWhen a person\ngoes to sea, safety cannot be compromised. Our training must therefore meet\ninternational standards and prepare seafarers to operate in a professional and\nresponsible manner. Compliance with the STCW Convention is at the core of what\nwe do,\u201d he stresses.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Academy is also ISO\n9001:2015 certified and accredited by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority\nand the Shipping Division.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Its operations are further\ngoverned by the Merchant Shipping (Maritime Training Provider) Regulations\n2018, which establish requirements relating to approval of training providers,\ncourse standards, instructor qualifications, quality management, records,\ninspections and compliance.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Trainees are also required to\nundergo a medical examination in line with applicable maritime requirements\nbefore undertaking their course, ensuring that they are medically fit for\nmaritime training and service.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Skills for\nan industry in need<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Maritime education and\ntraining is not simply about acquiring a certificate. It is about developing a\nskilled workforce capable of meeting the demands of a highly specialised\nindustry.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The MMTA relies on both\nfull-time and part-time trainers to deliver its programmes, reflecting the\nspecialised nature of maritime expertise and the scarcity of skilled trainers\nin the sector.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The strong employment\nprospects of its trainees are an important indicator of the relevance of the\nAcademy\u2019s programmes. Most students trained at the MMTA are already in\nemployment once their courses are completed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For young Mauritians and\nothers seeking a career connected to the sea, the Academy can therefore provide\na direct route into employment in the shipping, port and fishing sectors.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Learning to\nwork with the ocean \u2014 and protect it<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">A modern seafarer must also\nunderstand that the sea is not merely a workplace but an ecosystem that\nrequires protection.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Environmental considerations\nare incorporated into the MMTA\u2019s training programmes, helping trainees\nunderstand the importance of responsible maritime practices.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cSeafarers work in a marine\nenvironment, so they have a direct responsibility towards protecting the\nocean,\u201d says Mr Makool. \u201cEnvironmental awareness must therefore form part of\nthe overall development of a maritime professional. Safety and environmental\nresponsibility go hand in hand.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is particularly relevant\nfor Mauritius, an island nation whose economy, food security, connectivity and\ndevelopment are closely linked to the ocean.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As the maritime sector evolves\nand environmental concerns become increasingly central to the future of\nshipping, the ability to combine professional competence with environmental\nresponsibility becomes even more important.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Building\nMauritius\u2019 maritime future<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Academy is equipped with\nfour classrooms, each accommodating up to 25 trainees, a chart room, a 184-seat\namphitheatre, two mechanical workshops, a library stocked with maritime and\nengineering literature, a server room, canteen and parking facilities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yet its ambitions extend\nbeyond its existing infrastructure and programmes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The MMTA\u2019s vision is to become\na national and regional training centre for seafarers, port workers and other\npersonnel in the shipping sector, with scope to introduce additional courses in\nthe future.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For Mr Makool, this constitutes\nthe next chapter in the Academy\u2019s development.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cOur vision is to strengthen\nthe MMTA as a national and regional centre of excellence for maritime training.\nThere is scope to expand our course offerings and respond to emerging needs in\nthe shipping and port sectors. We want the Academy to play an even greater role\nin developing the maritime workforce of Mauritius and the region,\u201d he says.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">From its beginnings as a Sea\nTraining School in 1970 to its present role as a specialised maritime academy,\nthe institution has remained focused on one fundamental objective: preparing\npeople for the demanding realities of life and work at sea.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">With 724 students trained in\njust two financial years, and most graduates moving into employment, the MMTA\nis demonstrating that its classrooms are not merely producing certificates.\nThey are helping to mould the skilled workforce that Mauritius needs to\nstrengthen its place in the maritime world.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top:

R\u00e9duit, with\nstudents from several colleges taking part in the activity.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister of Agro-Industry, Food\nSecurity, Blue Economy and Fisheries, Dr Arvin Boolell; the Junior Minister, Mr Gilles Fabrice\nDavid; the Chief Executive Officer of the Food and Agricultural Research\nand Extension Institute (FAREI), Dr Madhvee Madhou; and\nother personalities were present. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The event was organised by the FAREI in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture\nOrganization of the United Nations in partnership with the SADC Secretariat under the\nFood and Nutrition Component of the Support Towards the Operationalisation of\nthe SADC Regional Agricultural Policy Phase II (STOSAR II) Project, funded by\nthe European Union. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The \u2018Ferrina\u2019 bean variety, developed by the International\nCenter for Tropical Agriculture, Ferrina has been recommended by the FAREI for cultivation in Mauritius since 2019. The variety contains\nsignificantly higher levels of iron than the locally cultivated Red Pearl bean, 106 milligrams per kilogram\ncompared with 60 milligrams while also providing zinc, protein and dietary\nfibre.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Addressing participants, Minister Boolell emphasised the importance of agricultural\ninnovation in enhancing food and nutrition security and called for greater self-sufficiency in\nfood production. The Minister urged the population to \u201cproduce what you eat and eat\nwhat you produce\u201d, while encouraging farmers to adopt biofortified varieties\nsuch as Ferrina to reduce reliance on food imports and improve dietary quality.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Junior Minister David indicated\nthat the Field\nDay provided an opportunity to showcase \u2018Ferrina\u2019s\u2019 agronomic performance, yield\npotential and nutritional benefits, while raising awareness among young people\nabout the importance of sustainable agriculture.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for the CEO of FAREI, she reiterated the Institute\u2019s\ncommitment to promoting the production and consumption of nutrient-rich crop and encourage the adoption of\nbiofortified varieties.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The event also featured the launch of a \u2018Ferrina\u2019 flyer and recipe book, as well\nas the distribution of seed samples and information kits. Students visited\nexhibits showcasing the variety\u2019s agronomic performance and nutritional\nadvantages.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto',

justify\">At\nthe opening of the exhibition entitled \u2018The Forgotten Saints\u2019 by Seychellois\nartist, Mr Emmanuel D'Offay, at Lespas Lar in La Tour Koenig, yesterday, the\nPresident of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr Dharambeer Gokhool, invited the\npopulation to question the representations and images of enslaved people\nproduced by colonial travellers, administrators and naturalists, and to examine\nwhat these depictions revealed about those portrayed, as well as about the\nobservers and the colonial society in which they were produced.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nexhibition is being organised by the Nelson Mandela Centre for African Culture\nTrust Fund in the context of the International Day for the Remembrance of the\nSlave Trade and its Abolition. \u2018The Forgotten Saints\u2019, through a compelling\ncollection of mixed-media works inspired by archival records and historical\nimages, seeks to restore visibility, individuality and dignity to persons whose\nlives were too often reduced within colonial records to numbers and\nadministrative entries. It provides an important space for reflection on\nslavery, historical memory, identity, resilience and reparatory justice.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nDeputy Prime Minister and Minister of Gender Equality and Family Welfare, Mrs\nMarie Arianne Navarre-Marie; the Minister of Local Government, Mr Ranjiv\nWoochit; the Junior Minister of Social Integration, Social Security and\nNational Solidarity, Mr Kuvalayan Kugan Parapen; Members of the Diplomatic\nCorps and other dignitaries attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nhis inaugural speech, the President pointed out that history was often shaped\nby those who wrote it, the amount and type of information they gathered and\npreserved, and the values and cultural beliefs that informed their accounts. He\nunderlined that history was often told and written by the victors and the\nelites, as powerful and influential groups were able to record their views,\nwhile other voices were left unheard.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cWere\nslaves only victims, chained, punished and subject to sufferings or were they\npeople, men, women children, who resisted, escaped, preserved traditions,\nthreatened with erasures, formed communities and sought autonomy?\u201d reflected\nthe President. Accordingly, he added, the underlying questions of justice and\nreparation in History must be properly researched, preserved, narrated and\nunderstood<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">On\nthis note, Mr Gokhool commended the Seychellois artist, Mr Emmanuel D'Offay,\nfor his work which, he stated, restored individuality and dignity to the\nenslaved people. \u201cThe Forgotten Saints create the meeting point between\nhistorical evidence and contemporary memory, and its notion is highly\nsignificant as an ode to the dignity of those whom history has rendered\nanonymous,\u201d he underscored.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Moreover,\nthe President highlighted that at a time when conflict, uncertainty,\ninstability and rapid change have become defining features of the international\nenvironment, the lesson of histories such as the slave trade and its abolition\nwere not confined to the past. \u201cThey remind us of the consequences of denying\nhuman dignity, reducing people to categories and allowing systems of power to\nsilence individual humanity, and also of resilience, resistance and the\nenduring human search for freedom and dignity,\u201d he said.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For\nher part, the Deputy Prime Minister spoke of the importance of the common\nhistory that had shaped the country\u2019s unique blend of multiculturalism, through\nthe contribution of populations from various horizons who helped the nation.\nShe dwelt too on slavery which, she underlined, was not merely a chapter in the\nhistory of Mauritius, but also a story of human suffering and pain, family\nseparation, dignity and resilience.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nsignificant role of enslaved women and the need to recognise their place in history\nwere moreover stressed by Mrs Navarre-Marie. She explained that the resilience\nof these women had contributed to the survival of numerous traditions and\ncultural practices.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Furthermore,\nthe Deputy Prime Minister deplored the fact that the suffering of enslaved\nchildren was often overlooked. \u201cChildren were confronted with a painful\nreality, deprived of security, freedom and familial continuity, with no access\nto basic human rights,\u201d she averred. On that score, she called for the\ntransmission of this history to younger generations so that they could\nunderstand how Mauritian society was shaped and why human dignity was\nessential.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">It\nis recalled that the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade\nand its Abolition, marked on 23 August each year, was established by the United\nNations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1997. It\ncommemorates the transatlantic slave trade which stands as one of the darkest\nchapters in human history as over a span of 400 years, between 25 and 30 million\npeople were kidnapped, torn from loved ones, forcibly uprooted, and transported\nfrom Africa to the Caribbean and the Americas to endure servitude and work in\nagonising conditions.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Mauritius Meteorological Services (MMS), under the aegis of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, is engaging key national stakeholders in the development of its Strategic Plan 2027\u20132031, aimed at strengthening the country\u2019s capacity to respond to evolving weather and climate risks.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In this context, a half-day stakeholders\u2019 consultation workshop was held today at the MMS Headquarters in Vacoas, bringing together representatives of institutions involved such as the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Centre, Central Water Authority, Central Electricity Board, Food and Agricultural Research and Extension Institute, Statistics Mauritius, National Coast Guard, Special Mobile Force, Ministry of National Infrastructure and Ministry of Local Government, Red Cross Mauritius and Mauritius Oceanography Institute, amongst others.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The consultation forms part of the process of refining and validating the proposed Strategic Plan, with stakeholders invited to share their expectations, identify priority areas and provide practical inputs on the future services and capabilities required from the MMS.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The exercise is being undertaken with the support of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and is also aligned with national priorities, including Government\u2019s Bridge to the Future Programme.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Acting Director of the MMS, Dr Prithiviraj Booneeady, highlighted that the proposed plan seeks to move the Service forward through stronger observation, monitoring, forecasting and communication capabilities. He pointed to the need for additional and more effective automatic weather stations, improved communication systems and greater use of technology to strengthen the collection and analysis of weather data.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He also stressed the importance of building the technical capacity of MMS personnel and securing sustainable funding for the implementation of the plan. While Government remains a key source of support, he noted that partnerships with national, regional and international donors will also be important to finance the modernisation projects required by the Service. He further underlined the need for continuous monitoring of weather and climate patterns, including regional drivers such as the Indian Ocean Dipole, particularly in view of Mauritius\u2019 exposure to extreme weather and cyclonic activity.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Strategic Plan is being prepared by the CEO of Strategos Ltd, Mr Fareed Jaunbocus, with the consultant having been engaged with the support of the WMO. According to Mr Jaunbocus, the exercise goes beyond preparing a policy document and seeks to establish a practical roadmap for transforming the MMS into a modern provider of meteorological intelligence.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He explained that climate change is increasing the need for reliable and sector-specific information, as different users from aviation and maritime activities to agriculture, water management and disaster risk reduction have different requirements. The success of the plan, he stressed, will depend on its implementation, requiring stronger collaboration, institutional transformation, commitment and a change in organisational mindset.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Strategic Plan seeks to position the MMS as a modern, trusted and future-ready National Meteorological and Hydrological Service, capable of delivering timely and authoritative intelligence to protect lives, support national development and strengthen Mauritius\u2019 resilience to a changing climate.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Proposed Strategic Plan 2027 - 2031<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The proposed Strategic Plan responds to a changing environment in which Mauritius, as a Small Island Developing State, faces multiple and interconnected risks, including tropical cyclones, flash floods, coastal inundation, drought, heat stress, climate variability and marine hazards. At the same time, technological developments are creating opportunities to make greater use of data, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to improve forecasting and decision-making.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Against this backdrop, the proposed strategic direction is centred on five goals: strengthening weather, climate, ocean and hydrological services; modernising observation infrastructure, technology and operations; strengthening national, regional and international partnerships; advancing research, innovation, digital transformation and public outreach;
