>GENERAL
>
>The Secretariat of the Pacific
Community (SPC) is an independent
>intergovernmental agency providing
technical advice, assistance, training
>and research in the service of the
22 Pacific Island countries and
>territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and
Polynesia. It currently has a staff
>of more than 230. SPC is officially
bilingual, with English and French being
>the working
languages.
>
>The Fisheries Development Section (FDS) is one of five
sections that makes
>up the Coastal Fisheries Programme. The FDS is made
up of three professional
>staff with part-time support from a Project
Assistant. The Section's
>objective is to: 'Assist countries and
territories to develop economically
>viable commercial fishing operations
focusing on vessel operations,
>harvesting activities and post-harvest
practices'.
>
>The Fisheries Development Officer implements many of
the technical
>assistance projects as requested by member countries and
territories. This
>entails travelling to the requesting country, and
implementing an agreed
>work programme, often in very remote and isolated
locations, including
>commercial fishing vessels on fishing trips up to
two weeks at a time. In
>the field the Fisheries Development Officer needs
to improvise to fit the
>different situations and any problems
encountered. Where needed, the work
>programme may be modified, especially
if necessary gear for the project is
>not available. Because of the
remoteness of some locations, the Fisheries
>Development Officer needs to
be able to operate independently when needed,
>to meet the objectives of
the specific project.
>
>When in the field, the Fisheries
Development Officer works with a range of
>local people with different
cultural, ethnic and educational backgrounds,
>including local fishermen
and fishing company executives, Fisheries
>Department employees,
Secretaries to Governments and Ministers. Good
>communication skills and
patience are required when meeting with different
>people on each
assignment. Good negotiation skills are also needed,
>especially when
problems are encountered during a project and solutions need
>to be found.
>
>At the end of each country assignment, the Fisheries Development
Officer
>drafts a report of project activities with conclusions and
recommendations.
>As part of this, photos and sketches are provided so the
Section staff can
>draw any diagrams that are needed, do technical edits
and format and layout
>the report ready for sending to the host country
for clearance. This
>position also provides input and draft text for
technical manuals and
>Fisheries Newsletter articles, as another means of
disseminating information
>widely in the region.
>
>There is
also a need for this position to liaise, negotiate and work with
>other
sections within SPC, as the Fisheries Development Section works with
>them
to have work completed. Most interactions are with the Oceanic
>Fisheries
Programme, where data are required for specific country
>assignments, or
the OFP needs input on fishing technology issues, especially
>within the
observer programme. Collaborative work is undertaken as a tutor
>or
resource person on workshops and/or training courses with the
Fisheries
>Training Section. Other sections worked with include
Translation and
>Interpretation, and Information and Technology, as well
as other Sections in
>the Coastal Fisheries programme. This position also
fills in for the
>Fisheries Development Advisor, as and when required, to
ensure the work
>programme of the Section is
implemented.
>
>DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
>
>The
Fisheries Development Officer is responsible to the Fisheries
>Development
Adviser, and the duties of the post are implemented in
>consultation and
with the advice of the Adviser as appropriate. The current
>duty statement
of the Fisheries Development Officer is as follows:

research on ways to increase the productivity of high-value coral reef
species in the Pacific since 1986. These research projects have included
farming and restocking of giant clams; transfer of methods for culturing
blacklip pearl oysters, based on wild spat, from the Eastern to the Western
Pacific; propagation and restocking of sea cucumbers, capture and culture of
postlarval coral reef fish; combined culture of trochus and giant clams;
effects of a marine protected area (MPA) on stocks of valuable coral reef
invertebrates; and effects of run-off from logging on inshore habitats. Most
of this research has been done in Solomon Islands but ICLARM is now
diversifying its activities in the region and conducting projects in several
Pacific Islands. From now on, ICLARM will co-ordinate all its projects in
the Pacific from a new office at the SPC.
THE POSITION

New Caledonia (sea cucumbers), Tonga (pearl oysters) or PNG (post-larval
fish).
- To identify and prioritise strategic and
researchable issues for increased, sustainable fisheries production from
coral reefs and other inshore habitats, in consultation with SPC, other
regional organisations and Pacific Island nations.
- To prepare proposals to development agencies
for agreed research priorities and to supervise the new projects.
- To collaborate with other scientists at
ICLARM to implement the components of their projects relevant to the
Pacific, e.g. the activities of the International Coral Reef Action
Network (ICRAN).
- To maintain ICLARM's official relationships with
the Governments of New Caledonia and Pacific Island nations. The position
will report to the Leader of the Coastal and Marine Resources Research
Program at ICLARM under the
terms of the Memorandum of Agreement between ICLARM and SPC for this
post and will be offered for three years in
the first instance.

expected to have a Ph.D., excellent skills in design and analysis of large-scale
sampling programs and field experiments, and experience in one or more of the
following research areas: coastal aquaculture, restocking/stock enhancement,
fisheries stock assessment, marine protected areas. A strong publication record,
proven leadership and management of projects, ability to collaborate with other
research and management agencies, experience in preparing grant proposals,
fluency in English (ICLARM's working language) and good communication skills are
also essential. Ability to speak French would be an advantage.

DUTY STATEMENT
AQUACULTURE
ADVISER
The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is an
independent intergovernmental agency providing technical advice, assistance,
training and research in the service of the 22 Pacific Island countries and
territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. It currently has a staff of
more than 230. SPC is officially
bilingual, with English and French being the working languages.
The Coastal Fisheries Programme (CFP) makes up half
of the SPC's Marine Resources Division, with a current staff complement of 25.
Its mission is: "To provide a regional support service that assists
Pacific Islanders in identifying the status, and optimising the long-term social
and economic value, of small-scale fisheries and aquatic resource use in Pacific
Island waters."
.
The Aquaculture
Adviser will manage the new SPC aquaculture programme. The broad aim of SPC in
this initiative is not to set up just another Pacific Island aquaculture
development project, but to provide support and information to governments,
investment authorities and the private sector in planning aquaculture activities
that are both economically and environmentally sustainable - information to
enable the assessment of realistic prospects, to avoid the pitfalls of the past,
and to take into account the experiences of other island countries.
The Aquaculture Adviser will manage the work program
of the Aquaculture Section and will be responsible directly to the Director of
Marine Resources but will also maintain close working relationships with other
organisations collaborating in the Pacific Islands Regional Aquaculture Strategy
and other SPC Coastal Fisheries Sections.
The post requires a self-starter with considerable
initiative, accustomed to working in new situations in new countries and
comfortable collaborating with people from all levels of Pacific Island society,
from the community to the senior government level.
DUTIES
- Maintain a regional network of contacts as a
means of exchanging ideas, knowledge and experience on Pacific Island
aquaculture issues including:
- developing information sources for a new SPC
Aquaculture Special Interest Group News Bulletin; and
- establishing a regional information base of
aquaculture activity in SPC member countries and territories, covering
enterprises, government activities, aquacultured species, relevant
legislation, and production;
2.????? Maintain
collaborative working partnerships with other agencies, including other Council
of Regional Organisations in the Pacific (CROP) agencies, and the International
Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM);
3.????? Advise and assist
Pacific Island government departments and private sector operators, as
appropriate, in the establishment of environmentally and economically
sustainable aquaculture, including:
- assisting Pacific Island governments and private
sector to assess aquaculture investment proposals and projects; and
- assisting Pacific Island governments and
communities to draw up practical plans, policies or regulations governing
aquaculture;

international planning processes;
5.????? Under the
supervision of the Director of Marine Resources, manage expenditure and
activities addressing the aims of current projects implemented in partnership
with national and international funding agencies and foundations, and continue
to develop new project proposals in order to address future objectives of the
section, according to the mandate and guidance provided by SPC member
governments and administrations.

DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE
FINAL EVALUATIONS
Project Titles: Family Planning & Reproductive Health: Vanuatu &
Kiribati (RH / FP)
Youth to Youth Peer Counselling in Promoting Reproductive & Sexual Health
(Y2Y)
Evaluation Location: Port Vila, Efate & Tanna, Vanuatu
South Tarawa, North Tarawa, Abaiang, Maiana and Nonouti, Kiribati (2 sites
only to be selected)
Supervisor: Jenny Whyte, Island Consulting, FSPI, Port Vila,
Vanuatu
Professional Service: Final project Evaluations
Duration / Timing: August 2001
Project Background
In 1996, two local NGOs in the Pacific Island Nations of Kiribati and Vanuatu
(FSP Kiribati and FSP Vanuatu) began work to design programmes that would
effectively respond to country health statistics showing poor sexual and
reproductive health indicators (high birth rates, IMR, MMR, LBW, high adolescent
birth rates, high STI rates, high total fertility rates), low use of family
planning methods and reports of local communities and youth requesting
information to increase their awareness and knowledge of RH/FP. Working together
with their UK-based partner, Just World Partners (JWP), and their regional
secretariat, FSPI, a proposal was developed with the goal of improving the
reproductive health of selected communities in Kiribati and Vanuatu. Towards the
realisation of this goal, these objectives were set:
- Increase the ability of community members targeted by the project
activities to make informed decisions regarding RH and FP issues as a result
of increased awareness and knowledge of RH and FP.
- Improve access to and utilisation of comprehensive, high quality RH/FP
care in rural areas which include not only FP services, but also maternal,
infant, and adolescent health programmes and reproductive tract infections,
STIs and HIV/AIDS services;
- Design and implement an integrated, collaborative and comprehensive
reproductive health programme in Kiribati. Fulfilling this objective will
help the MOH and FP and FSPK to increase the quality and number of RH
services provided in rural areas.
These objectives were to be met through tasks centred around
community awareness and education activities, training of trainers, IEC
development and distribution, KAP surveys, networking and collaborating with the
MOH and other NGOs, service delivery improvement through better co-ordination
and improved access, promoting youth development and monitoring and evaluation
activities.
Under the guidance of JWP this proposal was submitted to
the UK Lottery and has been generously supported since July of 1998 (due
to delayed disposal of funds to Pacific countries the project did not actually
begin delivering services until 1 November, 1998).
During this same time funding was being sought for another key
Pacific priority area: youth, and to serve as match funding for the UK
Lottery proposal. To supplement and strengthen the activities of the UK
Lottery RH/FP project a Youth to Youth Peer Counselling program, focused on
RH/SH/FP was submitted under the guidance of FSPI to NZODA. This project
was funded with the goal of enabling adolescents to have improved access to
sexual and RH information, services and products, and began in February of
1999. Two objectives lead the project:
- Develop RH/FP counselling expertise and training services to be provided
to the MOH and FP community leaders in South Tarawa, Kiribati;
- Develop teams of youth peer counsellors in South Tarawa, Kiribati (15)
and Port Vila, Vanuatu (20) to help inform other young people of RH/FP
issues.
Evaluation Background
?
The three-year UK Lottery-funded Reproductive Health and Family
Planning (RH / FP) project operates in two countries, Kiribati and Vanuatu, and
is implemented by the two FSP offices in those countries (FSP Kiribati and FSP
Vanuatu respectively). The project was documented to start in July 1998,
however, a delay in the release of funds meant that activities did not start
until November 1998. The original close date of the project was due to be July
2001, however, this was extended until October 2001.
The FSP Vanuatu (FSP V) programme delivers awareness and
information about RH / FP and other related health priority issues to
beneficiaries living in rural villages within two target areas on the islands of
Santo and Tanna. The FSP Kiribati (FSPK) programme seeks to improve awareness
and information at community level regarding RH / FP in Kiribati.
The New Zealand-funded Youth to Youth in Health (Y2Y) project
began in each country in February 1999 with the aim of improving the RH / FP
awareness and education of youth so that they might better be able to access
services.
The final evaluations of both these projects are being carried
out as specified in the original project documents. As the activities of both
projects are so closely related a joint evaluation is planned. The Y2Y project
is being evaluated a full six months before the due close of the project.
However, the donors (NZODA) have been consulted and can see the value
financially, logistically and programmatically of a joint review.
Review Aims
?
To externally review and critically evaluate the design of the
above two projects with specific attention to the implementation details and
impact on the target beneficiaries.
Objectives
- Project Concept and Design
The evaluation should consider whether:
(a) the problem(s) the projects were supposed to address
were clear, and the approach to be used sound;
(b) the beneficiaries and the users of the projects results
were identified;
(c) the objectives and outputs were stated clearly,
precisely and in terms that are verifiable;
(d) the work plan as a management tool of the project was
followed.
- Implementation
?
The evaluation should consider:
(a) the quality & timeliness of inputs;
(b) the quality and timeliness of the activities;
(c) the quality and timeliness of the responsiveness of the
project managers to changes in the environment of the projects;
(d) the quality and timeliness of monitoring and support by all
parties to the projects.
3. Recommendations
?
With specific reference to the RH / FP project, the evaluator
should recommend whether:
(a) the project closes in October 2001 (as planned);
(b) extends until January 2002;
(c) a second phase is viable.
If the recommendation is that the project closes then exit
strategies should be recommended.
If the recommendation is that the
project is viable for a second phase include in the recommendation modifications
to the project design and management where appropriate.
With specific
reference to Y2Y project, and taking into consideration any recommendations
regarding the future of the RH / FP project, make recommendations regarding exit
strategies (project activities and management) until the closure of the
project.
?
?
?
Specific Activities
?
- Discuss delivery of project activities with FSPK and FSPV staff involved
in the implementation of the project (Country Directors, Project Managers,
Project Assistants and Voluntary Health Workers), in accordance with the
work plan and budget.
- Individually consult with the Project Managers to discuss the
effectiveness of the current implementation arrangements. Identify reasons
for slow delivery (if any) and discuss recommendations for dealing with
these shortcomings.
- Critically evaluate the role of the Ministries of Health in both
Kiribati and Vanuatu.
- Critically review project impact for stated beneficiaries by evaluating
each output against objectives and inputs.
Required Output
?
A succinct evaluation report discussing the above points that
may include relevant maps, photos or tables relevant to the review.
Expressions of Interest
Expressions of interest including a CV, contact details for 2 professional
referees, and an indication of availability in late July and August 2001 should
be forwarded to FSPI by 17th July, 2001 for the attention of Jenny
