Ports Environmental Network Africa (PENAf) is a non-profit organisation with an interest in environmental performance in African Ports. Africa ports like all others are obliged to deal with environmental issues generated from shipping as well as those generated in port areas. They have to find ways of meeting this demand by complying with international and national regulations in practice but however lack capacity.

Ports Environmental Network Africa (PENAf) seeks to create a platform aimed at stimulating discussions, information and exchange of experiences to find practical solutions in addressing environmental challenges facing African ports and putting them on the path of effective, efficient and proactive environmental management and performance.
