Description
The United States Agency for International Development Mission to Indonesia (USAID/Indonesia) is seeking public feedback on a draft concept note and situation model for a new marine and fisheries program. The program aims to advance Indonesia's self-reliance to conserve marine biodiversity and improve the sustainable, equitable management of fisheries. Interested parties are invited to provide recommendations on the draft concept and situation model. The program will focus on improving evidence-based sustainable fisheries policies, management effectiveness of marine protected areas, and protection of endangered marine species.
• The program will be implemented in Indonesia, with a focus on conserving marine habitats and species that underpin the country's economy and culture.
• The program will build on successful management models from previous USAID interventions.
• The program will aim to promote sustainable fisheries, tourism, and increase resilience of coastal areas, resulting in improved livelihoods and food security, economic growth, and increased protections for indigenous rights and culture.
