Indian Ocean Commission / Commission de l’Océan Indien (HQ)

The Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) is an intergovernmental organization that brings together five member states: the Union of Comoros, France under Reunion, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles. Created by the Port Louis Declaration in 1982, the IOC was institutionalized in Seychelles in 1984 by the General Agreement on Cooperation, better known as the "Victoria Agreement ".

The only regional organization in Africa composed exclusively of islands, it defends the specificities of its member states on the continental and international scenes. With the active support of a dozen international partners, the IOC gives substance to regional solidarity through cooperation projects covering a wide range of sectors: ecosystem preservation, sustainable management of natural resources, maritime safety, entrepreneurship, public health , renewable energies or culture.
