2017 program activities

1. Goals and Objectives

The goals of this activity is the implementation of EAFM in Indonesia by structural and
functional adaptation in all level of fisheries management, both in central and regional
government. It at least contains the changes on mindset, for instances, that fisheries authority is
not only running the fisheries administrative functions but is also running the fisheries
management functions.
The objective of this assignment is the institutionalization of the management of coral reefs
through an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) at three selected sites in Raja
Ampat and Aru Islands. The EAFM Consultant will assist the National Project Implementation
Unit of the Director General Capture Fisheries (NPIU-DGCF) in implementing the assignment,
in coordination with the Technical Consultant PT ShiddiqSaranaMulya (SSM).
2. Ruang Lingkup dan metodologi pelaksanaan
The Scope of Work of the EAFM Consultant for the implementation of the COREMAP-CTI is as
follows:
There are four separate but complementary activities involved with this assignment, specifically
(1) implementation of fisheries management plans, (2) sustainability of institutional
arrangements, (3) technology, and (4) economic.
(1) Implementation of fisheries management plans. The EAFM Consultant will implement
the EAFM plans at three different pilot sites, including, as appropriate to the pilot site,
community rights based approaches, which are replicable. Technical guidance and
support will be provided to implement the management strategies and actions identified
in the EAFM plan. The consultant will provide a detailed timetable, workplan and cost
estimate for plan implementation. In 2016, EAFM plans were developed at the three pilot
sites. The EAFM plan identified management strategies and actions, it also identified
roles and responsibilities among the agencies, partners, and stakeholders and included
stakeholder involvement throughout the management process. The EAFM plan
specifically included vision statement; goals of management; objectives, indicators and
benchmarks; management actions; compliance and enforcement; data and information
needs; financing; and communication. Each plan was designed based on the individual
issues, threats and opportunities at each pilot site. The consultant will work with the local
agencies and stakeholders to implement the plan at each pilot site as specified.
(2) Sustainability of institutional Arrangements. The EAFM Consultant will provide support
to ensure sustainability of the institutional arrangements/governance system for coral reef
EAFM at the three pilot sites, which are replicable. Technical guidance and support will
be provided to ensure, that at a minimum, there is stakeholder participation; coordination
and cooperation across institutions; good governance; recognition of traditional/informal
resource management systems; appropriate management scale; and knowledge, science
and
information
in
support
of management.
In 2016, institutional
arrangements/governance system were strengthened or developed for coral reef EAFM at
the three pilot sites. Cooperative or co-management is a participatory approach that

serves as a foundation to implement an EAFM with increased stakeholder participation,

in which the communities of local resource users (e.g. fishers, tour operators, coastal
developers, etc.) and government share the responsibility and authority for the
management. Alongside higher levels of stakeholder participation in EAFM is the parallel
need to engage across multiple sectors affecting the fishery ecosystem, such as the
ministries or institutions with management authority over fish, coasts, and climate as well
as associated sectors like mining, energy, agriculture, and tourism, among others; and
various levels of government. Good governance is an element needed in implementation
of EAFM, as it should ensure both human and ecosystem well-being and equitable
allocation of benefits as a condition for compliance. Establishing and implementing an
effective EAFM, thus, should be based on the spatial, temporal, and governance scales
appropriate to achieve the prioritized goals and objectives of management.
(3) Technology. The EAFM Consultant will trial, purchase (or make), and train fishers with
thirty (30) units of new environmentally friendly fishing gear(s) appropriate to the three
pilot sites. This activity builds on the 2016 activity of shifting a minimum of 60 fishers
away from destructive fishing practices toward more environmentally friendly fishing
practices by conducting trainings and purchasing (or making) more sustainable fishing
gears at the three pilot sites, which are replicable.
(4) Economic. The EAFM Consultant will (a) repair or upgrade facilities at the pilot sites;
and (b) improve the quality of reef fish products.
a) The pilot sites have different facilities to support harvest and post-harvest fishing
activities. The harvest facilities include such items, at a minimum, as port/harbor,
docks, boat and gear building and repair, communication and ice making. The
post-harvest facilities include such items, at a minimum, as fish markets, landing
sites, processing plants, cold storage and quality assurance laboratory. The
consultant will undertake an assessment of the existing harvest and post-harvest
facilities at each pilot site to determine state of operation and needs. The
consultant will make a detailed priority list of needed repairs or upgrading
including plans, timetable and cost estimates. With approval from government, the
consultant will undertake the facilities repair or upgrading.
b) Strategies that enhance livelihoods move communities and stakeholders up the
value chain by improving ongoing economic activities that could, with support,
provide higher and more sustainable income streams. Two proposed activities are:
(1) training in financial management: The consultant will train 60 fishers and
other household members at the three pilot sites in financial management so that
they improve the profitability of fishing and post-harvest operations and to be able
to manage business and entrepreneurial operations. (2) upgrading in the value
chain: The quality of reef fish products can be improved through upgrading the
fisheries value chain. In 2016, a value chain analysis will have been carried out at
each pilot site and have made recommendations for upgrading within the value
chain. Upgrading is the shift from lower- to higher-value economic activities
within the value chain by using local capacities to make improvements in

processes, products and functions. Upgrading can involve improvements in

quality and product design and certification and traceability that enable producers
to gain enhanced value or through diversification in the product lines served. The
consultant will utilize the recommendations of the value chain analysis to work
with 60 fishers at the three pilot sites to improve the quality of their products in
order to obtain a higher value for the product.
3. Location of Activities
The activities will be carried out in the COREMAP-CTI Project Locations which are funded by
the World Bank. Three different pilot sites will be selected in Raja Ampat and Aru.
4. Deliverables
The consultant will deliver the following:
(a) Report on EAFM plan implementation at each pilot site including detailed timetable,
workplan and cost estimate for plan implementation; activities implemented; problems
and opportunities encountered; lessons learned; and next steps.
(b) Report on institutional arrangements/governance system for coral reef EAFM at the three
pilot sites, including plans and activities to ensure sustainability, problems and
opportunities encountered, lessons learned, and next steps.
(c) Report on trial, purchase (or make), and training of fishers with thirty (30) units of new
environmentally friendly fishing gear(s) appropriate to the three pilot sites. The report
should include information on target group of fishers, gear type and characteristics,
training of fishers, problems and opportunities encountered, lessons learned, and next
steps.
(d) Report on repair or upgrade facilities at the pilot sites including assessment of the
existing harvest and post-harvest facilities at each pilot site to determine state of
operation and needs; detailed priority list of needed repairs or upgrading including plans,
timetable and cost estimates; and facilities repair or upgrading. Report will include
problems and opportunities encountered, lessons learned, and next steps.
(e) Report on training of 60 fishers and other household members on financial management
