The South African Marine Information Management System (MIMS) is an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) repository that plays a multifaceted role in archiving, publishing, and preserving marine-related datasets. As an IODE-accredited Associate Data Unit (ADU), MIMS serves as a national node for the IODE of the IOC of UNESCO. It archives and publishes collections and subsets of marine-related datasets for the National Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment (DFFE) and its regional partners. As an IOC member organization, DFFE is committed to supporting the long-term preservation and archival of marine and coastal data for South Africa and its regional partners, promoting open access to data, and encouraging scientific collaboration. Tasked with the long-term preservation of South Africa's marine and coastal data, MIMS functions as an institutional data repository. It provides primary access to all data collected by the DFFE Oceans and Coastal Research Directorate and acts as a trusted broker of scientific marine data for a wide range of South African institutions. MIMS hosts the IODE AFROBIS Node, an OBIS Node that coordinates and collates data management activities within the sub-Saharan African region. As part of the OBIS Steering Group, MIMS represents sub-Saharan Africa on issues around biological (biodiversity) data standards. It also facilitates data and metadata publishing for the region through the GBIF and OBIS networks. Operating on the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data principles, MIMS aligns its practices to maximize ocean data exchange and use while respecting the conditions stipulated by the Data Provider. By integrating various functions and commitments, MIMS stands as a vital component in the marine and coastal data landscape, fostering collaboration, standardization, and accessibility in alignment with international standards and regional needs.

Content type(s)
Country
The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) is committed to supporting statistical development in Africa as a sound basis for designing and managing effective development policies for reducing poverty on the continent. Reliable and timely data is critical to setting goals and targets as well as evaluating project impact. Reliable data constitutes the single most convincing way of getting the people involved in what their leaders and institutions are doing. It also helps them to get involved in the development process, thus giving them a sense of ownership of the entire development process. The AfDB has a large team of researchers who focus on the production of statistical data on economic and social situations. The data produced by the institution’s statistics department constitutes the background information in the Bank’s flagship development publications. Besides its own publication, the AfDB also finances studies in collaboration with its partners. The Statistics Department aims to stand as the primary source of relevant, reliable and timely data on African development processes, starting with the data generated from its current management of the Africa component of the International Comparison Program (ICP-Africa). The Department discharges its responsibilities through two divisions: The Economic and Social Statistics Division (ESTA1); The Statistical Capacity Building Division (ESTA2)
