All OBP activities support our overall goal of developing an inclusive, sustainable, and long-term multi-stakeholder response to maritime piracy. Since OBP's launch in 2010, OBP has:

• Convened OBP Working Group meetings with participants from the maritime industry, governments and international organizations, seafarers groups, and academia
   
• Launched comprehensive mapping of counter piracy organizations and initiatives, as well as studies on the Economic Cost of Piracy, and the  Human Cost of Piracy 

• Established a national-level working group in India and subsequent offshoot focus for OBP, OBP-India
   
• Coordinated the creation of the Declaration Condemning Acts of Violence Against Seafarers signed by leading flag states
   
• Financially supported, in partnership with the TK Foundation, reporting on the human cost of piracy by the IMB

• Conducted an Independent Assessment of the current counter-piracy framework.
   
• Helped identify projects to be funded through the Arsenault Family Foundation, including local radio programming within Somalia (Daljir Anti-Piracy Programmes) to increase awareness of the negative aspects of piracy; the UNODC counter-piracy advocacy campaign in partnership with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office; and Somali Fair Fishing, an independent Danish-Somali NGO aimed at building commercial fisheries in Somali waters

• Hosted a counter-piracy messaging workshop, co-sponsored by the US Department of State and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office in February 2012 to develop a more effective Somali counter-piracy messaging strategy
