GEF OFMP II Project
Design Workshop
Policy Components –
Sub-components 1.1.1, 3.1.1 & 3.1.4
General Introduction to FMD
Policy and Management outcomes delivered through “IFM Team”
at three levels:
1. Regional – WCPFC and SPRFMO, as well as other
regional/global meetings (Kobe, CITES, COFI, Rio etc) (travel,
TA, capacity supplementation)
2. Sub-regional – Support to sub-groups of members (PNA, TVM,
MSG, SC-SPTBF) (travel, TA)
3. National:
 Implementation of national priorities from RTMADS and SLAs
 National capacity building for regional processes (including
implementation)
(travel, TA, capacity building & supplementation, institutional
strengthening, direct outputs)
 Salaries ~$803K, not including Director

1.1.1 – WCPFC CMMs
 Output aims to ensure that CMMs for target and
non-target species are ecosystem based, reflective
of best practice and contribute to regional and subregional priorities.
 Main activities at the regional level:
 Whole-of-membership workshops to develop CMM
proposals and to consider proposals from others.
 Additional technical expertise to identify priority issues, lead
development of CMMs and assist in “in-meeting” support.
 Train-Sea-Coast course (year 2). Delivery and modality to
be further considered.
 ~150K per year. Existing budget ~432K (without salaries)
3.1.1 – Policy & Mgt Capacity Building
 Output aims to deliver a broad range of services to members
across a variety of subject matters, with a focus on improved
national capacity and training – to deliver ecosystem based
management.
 Main activities will be at the national level:
 Informal mentoring during specified project work
 Policy attachments and study tours (FFA, SPC, others)
 Institutional strengthening including focus on training needs
and opportunities
 Workshops (might be national, sub-regional or regional)
 ~400K per year. Existing budget ~870K per year (without
salaries)
 Could be wider than FMD alone
3.1.4 – Bycatch planning
 Output seeks general mainstreaming of bycatch planning
into the broader fisheries management regime of
members.
 Activities will occur at all three levels with a focus on
achieving a robust regional framework for bycatch
management that is supported and informed by national
arrangements that meet ESD requirements of SIDS.
 Focus on delivery of national plans (NPOA or otherwise),
but could be through regional activities such as
workshops, RPOAs or WCPFC CMMs.
 ~85K per year. No dedicated budget at this time, covered
under two national line items ~173K (without salaries)
