Posted on 28 August 2006 A PRIMEX-led consortium of consultants has just recently completed an ADB-funded Project Preparation Technical Assistance (PPTA) project to assist the Government of Indonesia in identifying sustainable investment programs for the country’s coastal fisheries resource management sector.
The ICFRMP is envisaged to focus on sites assessed as having significant problems related to coastal community development and fisheries resource conservation such as (i) rampant use of illegal/destructive fisjing methods, (ii) degraded coastal fisheries resources, (iii) weak capacity of local governments and coastal communities in integrated coastal fisheries resource management, (ICFRM) (iv ) lack of site-specific ICFRM awareness and plans, and (v) high poverty incidence, among others. The ICFRMP as designed aims to reverse these trends in fisheries conservation. The Technical Assistance (TA) project was carried out in two phases from July 2005 to July 2006. Phase II elaborated on of the proposed Project and its components, including policy and legal recommendations, institutional arrangements, and prototype/model enterprises based on a preliminary Project framework (logframe), assessed its potential environmental and social (including poverty) impacts, as well as evaluated its economic viability.
