PH Donates $40,000 to IMO for Climate Training and Development Cooperation
LONDON, 26 March 2025 - The Philippines donated $40,000 to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for its technical cooperation training and capacity building activities and the voluntary multi-donor trust fund for financial support to developing countries. Philippine Permanent Representative to the IMO, H.E. Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr., presented the donation to Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez on 26 March 2025 at IMO Headquarters in London.
The donation was coursed through the Integrated Technical Cooperation Program (ITCP) of IMO’s Technical Cooperation and Implementation Division (TCID). It will be used to fund training on the implementation of the IMO’s Strategy for the Reduction of Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions from Shipping, such as development of seafarers’ training and skills programs, among others. Intended beneficiaries of the training will be personnel from relevant government agencies, from interested countries. The donation can also be used to fund the travel of delegates from developing countries, particularly from Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs), so they may participate in-person in IMO GHG meetings.
