The project is co-funded by the European Union and by the Government of Denmark; it is implemented by Expertise France, the French international technical cooperation agency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The programme covers a massive area, including 6,000 kilometres of coastline and the adjacent waters from Senegal in the north to Angola in the south, as well as the archipelagos of Cape Verde and Sao Tome &amp; Principe. The area is rife with criminal or illegitimate activity \u2014 from piracy, kidnappings and armed robbery at sea; to the trafficking in drugs, human beings, timber, arms and waste; illegal fishing and oil theft.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GOGIN underpins the Yaound\u00e9 Process by joining up existing national and multinational maritime security centres, coordinated by two Regional Coordination Centres in Abidjan and in Pointe Noire and capped by an Interregional Coordination Centre in Yaound\u00e9.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Nigeria and eighteen other coastal countries stretching from Senegal to Angola have started working together in a joint effort at fighting crime at sea. &nbsp; The European Union project, Gulf of Guinea Interregional Network (GOGIN) (www.GOGIN.eu), starts operations today.
