Report of the Launching workshop of the Climate Change Adaptation for Eastern Caribbean Fisheries Project ”CC4FISH”
The FAO/GEF-funded CC4FISH launching workshop was held in Bridgetown, Barbados, from 7 to 9 February 2017. This was the first meeting of the CC4FISH Project and brought together 27 representatives from the Member Countries, partner organizations and other key stakeholders involved in the delivery of the project, to ensure that there was a common understanding of the project’s objectives, inputs, outputs, outcomes and planned activities, as well as the roles and responsibilities of all project partners. The administrative and operational management arrangements established by FAO, together with the monitoring and evaluation and financial reporting processes, were discussed and agreed upon. All project partners developed and presented their annual work plans and budgets (AWP/B) for the implementation of field activities designed to ensure increased resilience and reduced vulnerability to climate change impacts in the Eastern Caribbean fisheries sector.
