Coordination, Participation and Information Services

Implementation, execution and coordination of the Project is carried out as described in Section F of Project Document.

A workshop on regional oceanic fisheries management in the western and central Pacific is to be held at the Tanoa Plaza, Suva, Fiji on 24 – 25 April. The workshop has been organised by WWF South Pacific Office and is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project executed by the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA).

A regional environmental NGO and an industry NGO will be enrolled into project implementation in order to promote non-governmental stakeholder and public awareness of oceanic fisheries management issues and strengthen NGO participation in oceanic fisheries management as described in Section G of the project document.

The approach to monitoring and evaluation set out in Section J of the project document will be applied in accordance with GEF and UNDP requirements. In addition, monitoring and evaluation will include a post-evaluation in the third year after the completion of the Project and annual external reviews.

The Information Strategy will be one of the project mechanisms for promoting awareness and understanding of the project and the Convention, focusing on the dissemination of information generated by, and related to, the project and including a knowledge management element to disseminate information on best practices and lessens learned, which will draw on the experience, capacities and guidelines of IW:LEARN. This work will be coordinated with other project activites involving NGOs targeting raising awareness among a broader range of stakeholders.
