The Regional Steering Committee consists of the National Focal Points from each country, Implementing Agency (UNDP), Executing Agency (FFA) and co executing partners (SPC and IUCN), any co-funding partners contributing actual cash assistance to the Project aims and SPREP, as the key partner organisation for GEF in the region.
Observers, who may be invited to attend by the Steering Committee, may include regional stakeholder representation (including fisheries industry), environmental NGOs (regional and international), other donor agencies, etc. Observer attendance is agreed by consensus within the Committee membership. The Committee is jointly chaired by a national representative (on a rotational basis) and by the Implementing Agency representative (UNDP).
The Regional Steering Committee meets annually, and in conjunction with, an existing regional fisheries meeting (e.g. FFA Management Options Workshop) wherever possible.
The Regional Steering Committee's function is to monitor progress in project execution; to coordinate between, and discuss implications of, respective project objectives and activities and the functions and progress of the Commission; to provide strategic and policy guidance and to review and approve annual work plans and budgets; to review and endorse all formal monitoring and evaluation reports and findings; to provide a regional forum for reviewing and resolving national concerns; to provide a regional forum for stakeholder participation; to provide a platform from which to launch new initiatives related to the Project but requiring separate donor support; to ensure all interested parties are kept informed and have an opportunity to make comment. The Project Regional Steering Committee also serves as the forum for the Project's Multipartite Review.
