The WWF-SWIO Regional Programme is hosted by WWF-Madagascar, with on-the-ground support by country focal points supported by well over 150 WWF staff members working on oceans in the five SWIO countries (Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa and Tanzania). The Programme receives further support from subject experts from the WWF network, particularly the global Coastal Communities Initiative; Coral Reef Rescue Initiative and the Sustainable Blue Economy Finance Initiative.
