Report of the Monitoring and Evaluation of the Implementation of the RES&POA-2030 (2021 Baseline Information)

Abstract

The Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the ASEAN Region Towards 2030 (RES&POA-2030) were adopted by the Senior Officials and Ministers of the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Member Countries to serve as a policy framework and direction for the region’s fisheries development towards sustainability in the coming decade. To monitor and evaluate the implementation of the RES&POA-2030, SEAFDEC proposed the Concept Note for organizing the Regional Workshop on the Roadmap for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Implementation of the Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region Towards 2030 during the 53rd Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council. The Council supported such ideas and suggested SEAFDEC to develop and disseminate the key indicators for monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of RES&POA-2030 in order that the countries could provide inputs.

The objectives of monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the RES&POA-2030 are to: 1) assess the level of regional and national implementation of the RES&POA-2030; 2) identify the gaps, challenges, and lessons learned from the implementation of the RES&POA-2030; and 3) provide recommendations to the ASEAN Member States to enhance the implementation of the RES&POA-2030.
