Résumé :	This follow-up report to PND1 has provided data that details the drop in piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, in particular since April 2021, with a historical low-point in 2022, yet with a slight uptick in H1 of 2023, whilst remaining at levels below those that previously characterized the Gulf of Guinea as marked by a significantly higher risk of kidnap-for-ransom piracy than any other region in the world. The report also outlined international, regional and national counterpiracy efforts in the period under review that may in different ways have contributed to explaining this significant piracy drop. However, given that piracy is multidimensional, the report also acknowledges that a focus on counterpiracy efforts provides an important but limited understanding of the intricate underlying drivers and enabling conditions. It is also imperative that more comprehensive research be conducted on the factors that in different ways contributed to the piracy drop. Closely related and equally warranting further research is an in-depth exploration of the nexus and potential links between piracy and other forms of (maritime) crime in the GoG, as briefly alluded to above, and explored in other reports.
