1. THE PROGRAMME IN A NUT SHELL

ACP FISH II is a demand driven Programme financed under the 9th European Development

Fund aiming at strengthening fisheries management in ACP countries.

The overall objective of this EUR 30 million Programme was to contribute to the sustainable

and equitable management of fisheries, thus leading to poverty alleviation and improving

food security in ACP states.

The expected results of the Programme, which coincide with the Programme components, are

1. Improved fisheries policies and management plans at regional and national levels

2. Reinforced control and enforcement capabilities

3. Reinforced national and regional research strategies and initiatives

4. Developed business supportive regulatory frameworks and private sector investment

5. Increased knowledge sharing on fisheries management and trade at regional level

General Principles of ACP FISH II

-It is a demand-driven Programme

ACP countries and their Regional Fisheries Management Bodies were the entities that

identified the needs to be covered and supported by the Programme’s 5 components. The

ACP Fish II was not conceived as a top-down initiative, it was rather a Programme that tried

to respond to the requests coming from the beneficiary states and organizations, through a

participatory planning exercise.

-Adopts a Participatory approach

The most effective way to involve all concerned entities in fisheries development and

sustainable growth is ownership of the Programme by all actors: government departments

responsible for marine and inland fisheries and related ecosystems, Regional Fisheries

Bodies, universities and research facilities, fishers, fish processors and traders associations,

civil society through professional associations and local communities. More than 950

stakeholders contacted in Southern Africa and more than 40 consultative / validation

workshops and trainings in the region ensured a participatory approach for all projects.

2. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The programme was implemented by means of private indirect decentralised operations. The

Coordination Unit (CU) assisted the Beneficiary Secretary General of the ACP Group based

in Brussels, Belgium in the implementation of the projects under the Programme, including

the provision of: technical expertise, administrative, preparatory and ancillary tasks relating

to planning, monitoring, reporting on project components, procurement, and financial

management. Considering the wide geographical scope of the programme and the need to

secure an efficient management, ACP Fish II was conceived as a decentralized programme,

made up of one Coordination Unit in Brussels and 6 Regional Facilitation Units based in the

6 ACP regions, namely Western Africa, Eastern Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa,

Caribbean and Pacific. The Regional Facilitation Unit for Southern Africa is based in

Maputo, Mozambique. In March 2010 a Memorandum of Understanding between the

Administração Nacional das Pescas (ADNAP) - the Fisheries Administration (FA) of

Mozambique - and Agriconsulting Europe SA (AESA), Brussels, (Project implementing

agency) was signed for office space at the third floor of the ADNAP building, for the ACP

Fish II Programme.

The ACP Fish II staff assigned for the Southern Africa is:

Mr Leone Tarabusi, Regional Manager at Belize office

Mr. Gustavo Miranda, Programme Coordinator at (CU)

Mrs. Alice Bulgarelli, Programme Manager at (CU)

Mr. Oumar Tall, Administrative and Financial Expert at (CU).

Number of projects

188 capacity building projects were planned and implemented through the ACP region from

2009 to 2014. Of these, 281 targeted Southern Africa (15%) .

3. THE REGIONAL ACTION PLAN AND IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDS

The initial identification of priority areas where support was required from ACP Fish II was made by

representatives of fisheries administrations and regional bodies in a first Regional Needs Assessment

Workshop held in Maputo in November 2009. A number of proposed interventions were also raised at

this workshop and during subsequent discussions between Programme staff and potential

beneficiaries. General and specific needs were identified according to the Programme objectives and

expected results under each of the 5 components. The general areas of needs are shown in the

following Tables 1 and 2.

An outline Regional Work Plan was prepared and discussed in the closing months of 2009 for

inclusion in the global Programme Estimate prepared in Brussels. Through January to March 2010

these priority areas and proposed projects were further developed by the beneficiary States, regional

partners and collaborating agencies in partnership with the Programme and a limited number of

country visits were made by the RFU Manager to the beneficiaries. In April 2010 the process to

develop these interventions into Project Profiles and Terms of Reference was started. The first

Regional Action Plan (RAP) for Southern Africa was validated in the region during the Regional

Workshop for Presentation and Discussion of Action Plan held in Maputo at the end of August

/beginning of September 2010 and then approved by the programme Steering Committee in

November 2010 thereby becoming the guiding document for programme implementation in the

Southern Africa Region. The RAP was subsequently amended (following regional and programme

wide validation) to take into account operational requirements and changing situation, on four

occasions, throughout implementation.

4. A MONITORED PROGRAMME

The Programme operates under the guidance, supervision and control of a Steering

Committee. The Steering Committee is set up to oversee and validate the overall direction

and policy of the Programme. Representatives of regional organizations (ECOWAS, SADC,

COMESA, CEMAC, CARICOM, Pacific Islands Forum, UEMOA and ECCAS) are

members and invited to attend the 6 meetings. Mr. Harsen Nyambe, Senior Programme

Officer - Natural Resources Management represented the Southern African Development

Community SADC .

In addition, the Programme organized 6 regional Workshops attended by Focal Points

(representatives appointed by the fisheries administrations from all beneficiary country and

Regional Fisheries Bodies and Economic Organizations) in the region as follows:

The Regional Needs Assessment Workshop in Maputo, Mozambique, 17-18

November 2009, was convened to identify broad areas for targeting ACP Fish II

support.

The Regional Workshop for Presentation and Discussion of Action Plan for the

Southern Africa, 31 August/1 September 2010 Maputo, Mozambique, involved the

validation on the overall Region Action Plan and the formulation of project

descriptions.

The 1st t Programme Monitoring Workshop was held in Maputo, Mozambique, 15- 16

March 2011. The objectives were to review the status of implementation of projects

funded under the first phase, from June 2009 to May 2011 (PE1); formulate Terms of

Reference/plans for projects to be implemented under the second phase June 2011 to

November 2012 (PE2) and agree on the implementation plan; and share lessons

learned and experiences of project implementation to-date

The 2nd

Programme Monitoring Workshop and Training was held in Gaborone,

Botswana , 8-9 November 2011 aimed at reviewing the status of projects completed in

PE1 and project implementation in PE2; promoting ACP Fish II activities in Southern

Africa (Network meeting); and to build the capacity of Fisheries

Officers/Administration in devising Terms of Reference within the EDF Project

Cycle. This event was held back to back to the 3rd

ACP Fish II Steering Committee

hosted by SADC, thus enabling FPs to assist and participate to the Steering

Committee session

The 3rd

Programme Monitoring Workshop and Training was held in Mahebourg,

Mauritius, 4-6 de December 2012 and aimed at reviewing and monitoring ongoing

projects in PE2 to apply corrective actions identified; providing training on

Monitoring and Evaluation principles and procedures, in general, and guidance on the

specific ACP Fish II Monitoring and Evaluation system, completing Project

Evaluation Grids and scoring performance indicators; finally, participants were

exposed to selected fishery realities in the host country

The final Programme Monitoring Workshop and closure held in Maputo,

Mozambique, the 9-10 October 2013. The aim is to review last projects being

implemented by the Programme in PE2; assess the outcomes and impact of the

implemented projects; and discuss the way forward to face the ACP Fish II closure

ACP Fish II has set an internal Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) system to follow up the

performance of the Programme as a whole as well as outputs and results of the executed

projects. The system has been designed at three different levels – Programme, Process and

Project level – taking into account the kind of indicators that prove the compliance with the

Programme outputs and results, according to the Programme Logframe and Operational

Targets (included in the Regional Action Plans).

The evaluation of each individual assignment (project) is a participatory process, involving

the Regional Managers, the nominated Focal Points and the Coordination Unit, in Brussels.

To systematize the information gathering process a Project Evaluation Grid (PEG) has been

developed encompassing 5 key indicators to be assessed by deferent key actors.

Regional Managers and Focal Points are the actors involved in assessing the three main

project performance indicators:

How far the project met Target Group expectations;

An assessment of the quality of the technical outputs;

An assessment of the quality of the key experts fielded.

Two other indicators are internal to the CU and the RFUs and evaluate the projects execution,

focusing on:

Quality and timeliness of backstopping support from Head Office of the Consultancy

Company and

Respect of project milestones time schedule and reports time delivery

The joint evaluation of each project done through the PEG and the final approved grids are

conveyed eventually to the parties involved in the system, mainly FPs, EU Delegations in the

concerned region and the Consultant who implemented the assignment.

5. DESIGNATED FOCAL POINTS

The Focal Points (FP) are the nominated representatives of the Fisheries Administrations

(FA) and Regional Fisheries Bodies (RFBs) and Regional Economic Organizations (REOs).

They assured the permanent contact with ACP Fish II, mainly through the Regional Manager

(RM) Leone Tarabusi. These FPs continue to play a vital role in the programme

implementation at all stages of the project cycle from project identification and devising of

the Terms of Reference through supporting implementation and monitoring of project

6. IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS IN SOUHTERN AFRICA (PE1 and PE2)

6.1. FISHERIES POLICIES AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK: REGIONAL AND

NATIONAL APPROACH

Accounting for around 60 % of the budget, the major focus of the ACP Fish II Programme

activities is to improve fisheries and aquaculture management, both at the national and

regional levels, by supporting the development, review and update of fisheries/aquaculture

policy instruments. Revisions to the policy framework will ensure they incorporate

internationally recognized principles and standards as reflected in international and regional

fisheries instruments and particularly in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of

the Sea, the 1993 FAO Compliance Agreement, the 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible

Fisheries, the 1995 United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, the 2001 International Plan of

Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, the 2006

Model Scheme on Port State Measures and the Sothern Africa Development Community

(SADC) Protocol on Fisheries and its Statement of Commitment to Combat Illegal

Unreported Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Due consideration will also be given to the recently

adopted 2009 Port State Measures Agreement.

Fisheries in southern African countries are characterised by differing contexts and socio-

economic environments, varying from small-scale and artisanal fisheries in countries such as

Mozambique, Angola, Zambia and Malawi, to the tuna fishery industry in the EEZ across the

Indian Ocean or the fish export industry in Namibia.

The fisheries and aquaculture sector in the region is managed nationally by local

governments which apply different management regimes as defined in national policy and

legal frameworks. However, management of fisheries at the national level should take

account of the regional approach to fisheries management promoted by Regional Fisheries

Bodies (RFBs) and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) and strive to

comply with regional resolutions adopted by these regional organizations. The most

important organizations in the region are: the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), the

South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission (SWIOFC) and the South East Atlantic

Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO). Additionally, the following Regional Economic

Organisations (REOs) have developed strategies and action plans on fisheries: Indian Ocean

Commission (IOC), the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the

Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).

http://acpfish2-eu.org/index.php?page=Caribbean

15

In most of the countries, a formal policy framework already existed but seldom had been

adequately implemented through the devising of sectoral strategies or management plans

and/or measures as to comply with fisheries and aquaculture policies and legislation.

Nevertheless, in some cases a revision of policy, strategy and/or legislation still was needed

to adapt to emerging challenges (such as market globalization, recent new technologies, or

growing importance and impact of aquaculture), and to the new institutional framework or to

comply with regional and international obligations. In this respect, under the Programme

support, Fisheries and Aquaculture policy and legislation were revised in Malawi and

Swaziland, a Fisheries Master Plan was developed in Mauritius, five Fisheries Management

Plans were formulated in Angola (1), Botswana (1), Namibia(2), and Zambia (1), and one

Fisheries Management Framework was formulated for the Zambezi River Basin in the

SADC region.

6.2. FISHRIES MANAGMENT : SUPPORT TO IMFORMED DECISION MAKING

PROCESS

In fisheries as in other sectors, accurate, relevant and timely compilation, collection and

analysis of data and information are essential to enable informed choices and decisions for

fisheries resources management. In that respect, Fisheries Information Systems (FIS) are

vital tools, useful for a broad set of activities: from scientific research to fisheries monitoring,

from planning sustainable utilization of the resources to law enforcement, from activities

budgeting to human resources management.

FIS has different set of objectives. The first objective is to collect and unify all the data used

by the various entities and actors of the fisheries. It should also be a tool to improve and

accelerate the procedures in place in the FiAs (applications, submissions, authorizations,

etc.). The second objective of the FIS is to keep and store the fishery data and history. This

storage should be reliable, secure and usable. The third is to permit instant and easy reporting

of any kind of information related to the fisheries. Data collection systems must be designed

to support the diverse needs of a range of potential stakeholders according to their objectives,

capacity, and available resources.

While most of the SA countries have managed to put in place information systems where

information is stored and retrieved for analysis and reporting, in some cases the system

efficiency was still to be improved, to systematise data collection process and to allow

analysis and number reconciliation process .

The Programme gave support to some countries (Namibia and Mauritius) for the

improvement of their FIS as to enable more efficient and effective policy planning and

fisheries management activities. These projects involved the assessment of the existing

information and data management structure and procedures, the proposal /adoption of revised

software and procedures and on-the-job training activities aiming at strengthening the FAs

capacity in efficient/effective data collecting, management and procedures set up.

6.3. CONTROL AND ENFORCEMENT; MCS AND IUU FISHING

Since 2001 and the adoption of the FAO International Plan of Action to prevent, deter and

eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, known as the IPOA-IUU, IUU

fishing has been recognized as a major impediment to achieving sustainable use of the world

fisheries. Nowadays, the fight against IUU fishing is at the forefront of the international

community’s agenda.

In 2008, the European Union adopted the regulation 1005/2008 to prevent fish and fisheries

products sourced from IUU undertakings from entering and being traded on the EU market.

RFBs, RFMOs and ACP coastal states alike have identified the fight against IUU fishing as a

priority and included the reduction or elimination of IUU fishing in their national fisheries

policy. Meanwhile the IUU fishing continues to pose serious threats to the world’s fisheries

by contributing to the overexploitation of fish stocks, hindering recovery of fish populations

and ecosystems and depriving coastal states of economic revenues. It is a global issue

requiring a global response at the regional and international levels. Hence, the critical role to

be played by RFBs and REOs in spearheading the fight against IUU fishing and coordinating

regional initiatives.

Southern African Region is not an exception to that. To face such a challenge, in 2003, the

SADC Protocol on Fisheries came into force, with the objective of promoting the

"responsible use of the living aquatic resources to enhance food security and human health,

safeguard the livelihood systems of fishing communities, and generate economic

opportunities for nationals in the region and to ensure that future generations benefit from

these resources". In July 2008, SADC Ministers in charge of Fisheries signed the SADC

Statement of Commitment to combat IUU fishing (SoC), which has been annexed to the

SADC Protocol on Fisheries and is now part of it. The SoC calls for strengthening the efforts

to improve regional and inter-regional cooperation for fisheries governance and to reinforce

Monitoring Control and Surveillance (MSC) capacity at regional level. In this framework, the

need for devising a regional fisheries MCS strategy and a regional plan of action to combat

IUU fishing has been recognized by the Member States as a key sector priority. In July 2010

at the SADC ministerial meeting held in Victoria Falls, the SADC Action Plan for IUU

fishing providing for the set up of a Regional Fisheries Monitoring Control and Surveillance

Centre has been approved by the SADC member States, along with the decision of

Mozambique being its hosting country. The mission of the Centre will be to coordinate MCS

and enforcement activities (in port and at sea), to set up a regional platform for the

conduction of regional Patrol Plan and for supporting the capacity building for harmonized

implementation of the SADC protocol on fisheries and development of training.

18

ACP Fish II contributed to the implementation of the regional strategies on fisheries MCS,

promoting application of the SADC Fisheries Protocol and the Statement of Commitment on

IUU fishing. The contribution was made of different initiatives aiming at providing

guidelines for the establishment of the Regional Fisheries MCS Centre to prevent and combat

IUU fishing in the region. Furthermore, the Programme collaborated with IOTC to strengthen

the implementation of its IOTC Resolution in the region.

6.4. AQUACULTURE

Aquaculture is probably the fastest growing food-producing sector worldwide. Global

aquaculture production increased from 47.3 million tons in 2006 to 60 million tons in 2010

with an estimated value of US $119 billion. It is estimated that worldwide aquaculture

contributes approximately 35 % of total fish production, however in sub-Saharan Africa

aquaculture supplies only around 3 % of fish production. In Africa, this sector is regarded as

having huge potential due to the high abundance of water and land in many areas – while

these resources become scarce in other parts of the world - and the increasing demand of fish

throughout the whole region (and beyond). Furthermore, the sector may represent the way out

to shortfalls from capture fisheries and resources sustainability, becoming more and more

common and a matter of concern nowadays. Finally, aquaculture development is often

regarded as a great opportunity to improve food security and livelihood and providing further

income, especially in the rural areas.

Alongside the support to policy framework enhancement and updating, which always addressed

Aquaculture (see chapter 6.1 on Fisheries Policy above), specific projects were implemented in

Botswana and Mozambique, to develop aquaculture strategies, support research and field testing

activities, following up national and regional priorities, which acknowledge the high potential of this

sector.

6.5. RESEARCH

Collection of data for fisheries statistics and proper scientific research remains a major

constraint often hampering recording of accurate fish production and scientific data and

affecting planning and management of fisheries and aquaculture resources. In some countries

the need to identify untapped or under exploited fish resources, to cater for the ever-

increasing demand for fish, is becoming essential. To that regard, assessment of presence and

abundance of specific fish resources is crucial. Furthermore, in most of the countries a key

factor of success for the improvement of fisheries management is the involvement and

empowerment of local communities by setting up co-management mechanisms to help

monitoring stock status and changes.

Projects aiming at strengthening fisheries administration research capacity and the availability of

reliable data on the resources have been implemented. In Mauritius support was given to the

assessment of the distribution and abundance of big eye tuna found in Mauritian waters, and to

determine the appropriate gear for its capture, providing capacity building in the fishing techniques

to local fishermen. In other countries such as Lesotho and Botswana, ACP Fish II supported the set

up of more appropriate fish stock monitoring systems and programmes, able to promote a stronger

involvement of local communities and co-management approaches as a major long term

sustainability factor. Table 8: Research projects

6.6. REGIONAL CO-MANAGEMENT: SUPPORTING FISHERFOLK NETWORKS

Like any other rural producer organisations (POs), there is a wide variety of fisherfolk

organisations (FOs) depending on their forms and functions. Typical examples are Beach

Management Units (BMUs), Beach Village Committees (BVCs), fisheries cooperatives,

unions, groups and associations. These organisations play a crucial role not only as a means

of channeling the supply and marketing of their members’ products and in mobilising

resources, but also in providing them with business-oriented services. Unlike individual

commercial producers, they can collectively defend their interests and achieve economies of

scale along the value chains. ACP Fish II Programme has so far, as part of its Component 4

(Improved Business Support and Private Sector Investment), and at the request of the target

groups, supported a number of projects across ACP regions. This has been accomplished by

either enhancing business management skills of fisher folks or strengthening their

organisations.

To that extent in Southern Africa, the Programme contributed to build the capacity of the

Malawi Fisheries Associations in governance and co-management issues and upgrading the

capacity of the Department of Fisheries (DoF) in the provision of sound and effective

extension services for the development of the sector. Similar project has been implemented in

Comoros, where local fisheries associations were trained in planning, financial management,

fish handling, processing and marketing.

6.7. BUSSINESS CLIMATE SUPORTIVE

In most of the countries in Southern African region, fisheries resources play a relevant role to

national and regional economic development and fish trade often represents an important

pillar of the economy, both nationally and regionally/internationally. In fish production, a

large share is the small-scale sector responsibility. Some countries where fisheries have a

major contribution to national GDP and economy, required for support in assessing and

developing marketing opportunities and devising strategies able to improve management and

economic performance of fisheries at national/regional/international level.

Actions were undertaken by the Programme to develop studies and training on fisheries

private sector development, more effective/effect utilization of fisheries resources and value

chain approach promotion as to enable the concerned FAs, RFBs, and RFMOs to promote

sound sectoral policies and management measures addressing the challenges of the sector.

6.8. KNOWLEDGE SHARING

As more and more stakeholders than ever before are directly involved in fisheries

management, there is growing demand for lessons, good practice, insights and experiences to

be effectively shared. Furthermore, improvements in Information Technology and internet

connectivity in most parts of the world (video-conferencing, social networking, tools for

online collaborative document preparation and editing ...) present increasing opportunities to

facilitate the sharing. Bodies such as IOTC are well placed to facilitate this intra-regional

knowledge sharing as a participatory and demand-driven process common to all aspects of

the programme implementation.

The ultimate aim of projects in this area supported by the ACP Fish II programme was to

increase information and knowledge sharing in pursuit of fisheries management objectives.

The interventions were not designed to improve websites or ICTs per se, but rather were to be

framed by an objective hierarchy to ensure that the use of the ICTs would be results-oriented

and contribute to achieving programme goals. The enhanced use of these modern

communication and information sharing tools can result in significant cost savings, increased

productivity and outputs, as well as boost the earnings and income of fishers, and improve

competitiveness and profitability within the fisheries and aquaculture sector.

7. REGIONAL DESCRIPTION OF RESULTS

a) Overall context in ACP Fish II

ACP Fish II programme is characterised as an enabling programme and the outputs produced by the

programme are ‘enabling outputs” and therefore the identification, and particularly attribution, of

results directly linked to the outputs involves the following of a complex chain of events, many of

which are outside of the direct control of the programme. The programme has largely focused on the

strengthening institutional structures and provisions, and building the capacity of beneficiaries or

intermediary organisations who are then ultimately responsible for delivering results which will

improve fisheries management, and ultimately achieve the programme objective. Consequently, the

measurement of positive results attributable to programme supported interventions, in many cases is

complex and fraught with difficulties. Nevertheless, the programme has attempted to provide

meaningful measures and processes which are able to identify where results are being achieved (or

likely to be achieved) and at the same time provide some incentive and encouragement for the

responsible party to take appropriate action to achieve the required result.

The original ACP Fish II logframe and the indicators were focused on the completion of outputs,

rather than the achievement of outcomes or results. The indicators proposed were generally not

appropriate to measuring the results expected as a result of the programme implementation. The

development of the Programme M&E system, whilst not changing the previously agreed indicators,

did manage to make a distinction between the outputs indicators (the formulation of the policy

documents for example) and the result indicators (for example, the adoption and implementation of

the policy document).

Output indicators are monitored using a simple matrix

Results indicators are monitored using a specially designed Results Table

A Table of Results for each region was devised, to record the achievement of Results beyond outputs.

Moreover, the Results Table provides a framework to identify actions which should be taken at

beneficiaries’ level to follow up and implement the outputs. Generally, according to their nature, the

projects may produce (a) immediate and final results or (b) need further actions to allow the results to

be “sustainable”.

b) Output Indicators

The table below shows the agreed programme indicators and target for the SA Region as stated at the

time of the approval of the M&E Manual in July 2012. These figures are slightly amended from the

figures in the initial Regional Action Plan (September 2010).

One critical component of the M&E system are the Project Evaluation Grids (PEGs) completed for

each project and assessing both the process followed in the execution of the ToR, the quality of the

outputs and the degree of achievement of the beneficiaries expectations. In the Southern Africa

region 19(100%) of the completed PEGs registered a score of 3 or more (out of 5) in achieving the

expectations of the beneficiary and 12 (63%) registered a score of 4 or more

c) Result Indicators

As noted above the M&E System adopted by the Programme allows distinction between outputs (e.g.

when a policy document is formulated) and results (e.g. when the same policy document is under

implementation). The full Results Table is shown in Annex 3 and the table and text below provides a

summary.

Note: a policy document or plan is said to be “under implementation” when it is either approved at the

highest level, when funds are allocated, or when activities proposed are actually being undertaken.

Out of the 23 project which currently produced deliverable for the use of the FAs or REOs (see annex

3):

10 projects (out of 30) have produced direct, immediate and measurable results (studies and

training, mostly).These 10 projects had immediate positive outcomes by strengthening

24

fisheries Administrations capacities and enabling identification/diagnostic of national needs

and proposal of actions

10 projects had follow up actions by the beneficiaries while 12 had no follow up actions to

date and thus remain technical or policy proposals either due to the missing approval by the

concerned entities or lack of fund to implemented concerned actions

23 projects achieved the expected outputs and deliverable; 6 policy and framework

documents (out of 14) have been approved at Ministry, Government and/or Parliament level.

Outputs of 19 project (out of 30) were evaluated to date by the target groups and beneficiaries

(through Project Evaluation Grids) as meeting their expectations; scores over 3 points (out

of 5) represent more than 70% while over 4 more that 63 % of the 19 evaluated projects.

d) Impact Indicators

Impacts will be the final piece in the results chain and can only be investigated after such time that the

outputs have been approved and implemented and only then can there be an identified impact either

on the fish stock or on the communities involved in the harvest of the resource.

- budget constraints for such an ambitious

programme;

Execution of too many projects in PE2

forced to two 6 month extensions;

cumbersome tendering procedures revised

during the second extension, and not at an

earlier stage;

Too many projects launched at the same

Programme/Projects design:

- Programme too ambitious, targeting too

many different countries and regions lead

Positive

Role of Focal Points and communication

with RFU has been positive and fruitful in

terms of definition of needs, devising of

25

to difficult planning and delivery

- Programme not very focused did not

enable to target region(s) predefined

according to similar, complementary or

common-shared needs; Absence of grants

did not allowed closer involvement of

local/regional institutions and limited the

ownership of the Programme;

- Budget constraints for such an ambitious

programme;

- Inadequate time allocation to some

projects led to poor/hasty deliverables

- Projects lacked aspects of continuity: i.e.

framework for sustainability and

monitoring after the project – further

support lacking for implementation and

follow up.

Programme execution:

Execution of too many projects under a

limited timeframe (both in PE1 and PE2)

limited RM follow up capacity due to

overlapping of projects in the same

execution periods

- Tendering procedures too long and not

easily matched by local

companies/consultants

Too many projects launched at the same

time during the last PE2 extension, because

of the delays in the tendering process;

consequences in the lower number and

quality of offers and unavailability of

experts, in some cases.

Lack of participations of countries in the

negotiations and selection of consultants

negatively affected the quality and time

frame of some deliverable.

Inadequate coordination among donors/

regional programmes and bodies resulting

in duplication of projects

Beneficiaries shortcoming :

- Beneficiary countries couldn’t give timely

feedback on projects implementation due

to internal bureaucratic processes

- Poor coordination of regional projects due

to lack of leading staff in some Regional

organisations
