Objective / Goal | The Project succeeded in equipping Colombia and Panama with strategies, policies and laws to implement the provisions of the PSMA and its complementary international instruments, in addition to improving organizational and operational MCS capacities in both countries. The Fifth Meeting of the Global Record Information Open-Ended Technical and Advisory Working Group (GRWG) was held, and the Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels (Global Record) was launched. The Project aimed to have 61 countries uploading data into the Global Record by its end; however, this target was surpassed, as a total of 66 countries were doing so by the Project’s end. The Global Capacity Development Portal (GCDP) to combat IUU fishing was launched and promoted through webinars and the dissemination of knowledge products, including two brochures, a tutorial and a video. The Project contributed to the establishment of a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for the PSMA Global Programme. The framework has been applied regularly throughout the Programme since its establishment. It is utilized to report on the results of the Programme to resource partners, Parties to the PSMA and other relevant stakeholders. Overall, the Project increased the legal and operational capacities to combat IUU fishing in the participating countries. It is expected that the Global Record and the GCDP will continue to amplify the results achieved beyond the Project’s end date. |
