COMMUNITY FISHERIES 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 200. SPC is officially bilingual, with English and
French being the working languages.
The Coastal Fisheries Programme (CFP) comprises almost half of the SPC's
Marine Resources Division. 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 resources in Pacific Island waters."
The Community Fisheries Section is part of the Coastal Fisheries Programme
and its objective is "to assist coastal fishing communities, particularly
women, effectively participate in, and benefit from regional and national
fisheries management and development activities".
The Community Fisheries Adviser is responsible to the Director of the
Marine Resources Division and is responsible for the day-to-day management
of a section currently including two other staff (one professional and one
support) and implementing several complementary AID-funded projects.
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.

individual countries or communities;
*
* Based on fieldwork in member countries and territories, and other

*
* Maintain a regional network of contacts as a means of exchanging
ideas, knowledge and experience, and discussing issues of concern for
Pacific Island communities involved in the fisheries sector, and produce
and disseminate resource materials including training manuals and videos;
