the SAP rests with the Secretariat for the Pacific Community (SPC), based in
New Caledonia, and the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) based in Solomon Islands.
The second component is concerned with coastal and watershed issues. The
PCU is responsible for this component, which will focus on the
implementation of 14 Pilot Projects, one in each island country
participating in the Programme (Cook Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New
Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu).
The Programme aims to assist island States, and their communities, improve
their capacity to manage transboundary water resources and create improved
processes to address environmental degradation and promote resource
sustainability. The Pilot Projects are to assist with the identification of
best practices and appropriate methodologies in four broad focal areas:
reducing community waste impacts on the environment, the sustainable
management of freshwater resources, management of marine protected areas and
sustainable management of coastal fisheries. Community level activity will
be important elements of each Project.
Project Description
The objective of this consultancy is to provide a review of published and
other information relating to sustainable coastal fisheries in the Pacific
Islands region. The review will place particular emphasis on
community-based issues associated with sustainable coastal fisheries,
reflecting the planned focus of subsequent pilot projects that may be
instigated under the SAP.
The output of this review will be a report accompanied by a comprehensive
bibliography.
Terms of Reference
The consultancy may be undertaken either by a consultant working
independently or a team of consultants that would combine their efforts to
complete the work required.
The consultancy will result in a report that will be used by the PCU to
assist with the selection, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation
of pilot projects addressing issues associated with sustainable coastal
fisheries that will be established in communities in each of the 14 island
States participating in the International Waters Project.
The report will include:
¡¤ A review of the current information relating to sustainable coastal
fisheries in the Pacific Islands region, or elsewhere, as it relates to the
objectives of the SAP in terms of promoting capacity building for improved
management responsibility in communities. Information may include a review
of coastal fisheries in the South Pacific region, issues relating to
resource management and governance, and past and current priorities in
respect of coastal fisheries at national and regional scales;
¡¤ An outline of the types of community-based project activities that could
be implemented in sustainable coastal fisheries in the Pacific islands
region under the SAP.
¡¤ A list of references, additional readings, potential resource people, and
web sites relating to the SAP's programme in sustainable coastal fisheries.
The review should focus on activities in the South Pacific region with
adequate representation and discussion of case studies from Melanesia,
Polynesia and Micronesia.
Source information will also be available through a concurrent review to be
undertaken of past, current and planned country activities in the four focal
areas in the South Pacific region.
The product of the consultancy will be a report (no more than 30 pages plus
bibliography) submitted to SPREP in hard copy and electronic format. The

THE STRATEGIC ACTION PROGRAMME (SAP) FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WATERS OF THE
PACIFIC SMALL ISLAND DEVELOPING STATES
INVITATION FOR AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Review of Past, Current and Planned Country Activity as it Relates to
Potential Work of the International Waters Project
Project Description
The SAP is a 5-year project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF),
implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed
by the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The Project
Co-ordination Unit (PCU) for the SAP is based at SPREP's headquarters at
Apia, Samoa.
The SAP has two components. The oceanic component is specifically targeting
management and conservation issues associated with the regional tuna
resource in the Central Western Pacific. Responsibility for this aspect of
the SAP rests with the Secretariat for the Pacific Community (SPC), based in
New Caledonia, and the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) based in Solomon Islands.
The second component is concerned with coastal and watershed issues. The
PCU is responsible for this component, which will focus on the
implementation of 14 Pilot Projects, one in each island country
participating in the Programme (Cook Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New
Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu).
The Programme aims to assist island States, and their communities, improve
their capacity to manage transboundary water resources and create improved
processes to address environmental degradation and promote resource
sustainability. The Pilot Projects are to assist with the identification of
best practices and appropriate methodologies in four broad focal areas:
reducing community waste impacts on the environment, the sustainable
management of freshwater resources, management of marine protected areas and
sustainable management of coastal fisheries. Community level activity will
be important elements of each Project.
The PCU is inviting Expressions of Interest for qualified and experienced
consultants interested in undertaking a review of past, current and planned
SAP-related country activities. The contribution to this activity will be in
the form of a short-term consultancy to be undertaken at the SPREP
headquarters in Samoa.
Objective
The objective of this task is to gain a detailed understanding of existing
activities in the four SAP focal areas in the region so that possibilities
of developing collaborative arrangements for the SAP, and avoiding
duplication, are improved.
Terms of Reference
The consultant will be required to review past, current and planned
activities in the 4 key SAP focal areas (sustainable fisheries; marine
protected areas; community-based waste reduction; and preservation of
freshwater quality) in each of the 14 participating countries. The review,
in the form of a desk study, will include activities undertaken by SPREP,
other agencies including CROP agencies, governments, private sector,
international and local NGOs, bilateral donors and multilateral agencies.
The output will be a country profile of programmes and activities for each
of the four focal areas that can be used during the evaluation candidates
for pilot project implementation. The work undertaken will also provide
information, in the form of a database and a report, that is directly
relevant to the concurrent review to be undertaken of Lessons Learned and
Best Practices for community-based activities in the four SAP focal areas.
The information will be used by the PCU to assist with the design,
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of pilot projects that will be
established in communities in each of the island States participating in the
International Waters Project.
The consultant will be required to work at the PCU within SPREP. The
Consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Project Manager and
in collaboration with the Community Assessment and Participation Specialist
and the Community Communications Specialist.
The consultant will be required to:
¡¤ Review published and unpublished material available at SRPEP to obtain
information on SAP-related activities in participating country activities;
¡¤ Liaise with other Programme staff, and other SPREP staff, to obtain
information on country activities;
¡¤ Liaise with other agencies, country governments, donors and NGOs operating
in the region to obtain relevant information;
¡¤ Enter information into a database of activities;
¡¤ Prepare a report on country activities.
It is envisaged that this work may be carried out in two stages. The first
stage will involve an assessment of information needs, the design of a
strategy to acquire the required information and the implementation of a
process that generates the information required. Consolidation of
information acquired during the first phase of the consultancy will also be
commenced. The second stage will involve follow-up activities to complete
the information gathering exercise, an analysis of the information acquired,
its consolidation into a database and its presentation, in summary form, in
a report.
The product of the consultancy will be a report (no more than 25 pages plus
bibliography) and a database submitted to SPREP in hard copy and electronic
format. The consultant will be required to submit a draft report to SPREP
for comment. Copyright for the report, and ownership of all material
produced during the consultancy, will be vested in SPREP.
Expression of Interest
Interested individuals are invited to submit a proposal expressing interest
in this consultancy. Each response must provide:
¡¤ a CV
¡¤ an indication of availability between late March and April 2001; and
¡¤ an indicative daily consultancy fees.

THE STRATEGIC ACTION PROGRAMME (SAP) FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WATERS OF THE
PACIFIC SMALL ISLAND DEVELOPING STATES
INVITATION FOR AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Review of Lessons Learned and Best Practices in Integrated Coastal Watershed
Conservation and Management Initiatives
in the Pacific Islands Region
Project Description
The SAP is a 5-year project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF),
implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed
by the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The Project
Co-ordination Unit (PCU) for the SAP is based at SPREP's headquarters at
Apia, Samoa.
The SAP has two components. The oceanic component is specifically targeting
management and conservation issues associated with the regional tuna
resource in the Central Western Pacific. Responsibility for this aspect of
the SAP rests with the Secretariat for the Pacific Community (SPC), based in
New Caledonia, and the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) based in Solomon Islands.
The second component is concerned with coastal and watershed issues. The
PCU is responsible for this component, which will focus on the
implementation of 14 Pilot Projects, one in each island country
participating in the Programme (Cook Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New
Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu).
The Programme aims to assist island States, and their communities, improve
their capacity to manage transboundary water resources and create improved
processes to address environmental degradation and promote resource
sustainability. The Pilot Projects are to assist with the identification of
best practices and appropriate methodologies in four broad focal areas:
reducing community waste impacts on the environment, the sustainable
management of freshwater resources, management of marine protected areas and
sustainable management of coastal fisheries. Community level activity will
be important elements of each Project.
The PCU is inviting Expressions of Interest for qualified and experienced
consultants interested in undertaking a review of lessons learned, best
practices and measures of success for SAP-related country activities. The
contribution to this activity will be in the form of a short-term
consultancy to be undertaken partly at SPREP headquarters in Samoa and
partly at the consultant's home base.
Objective
The objective is to provide a synopsis of information relating to the
experience of other programmes that have attempted to address sustainable
resource use and conservation issues at the community level in the Pacific
Islands region or in island ecosystems elsewhere. Examples of such
programmes are the Biodiversity Conservation Network's activities in the
mid-1990s, the South Pacific Biodiversity Conservation Programme, Pacific
Islands Climate Change Assistance Programme and the Capacity Building for
Environmental Management Programme. The output of this objective will be a
report which will provide a description and analysis of issues (lessons
learned, best practices and measures of success) that enhance the prospects
of success for community-based (participatory) sustainable resource
management and conservation initiatives.
Terms of Reference
The report resulting from the review of lessons learned, best practices and
measures of success in community-based sustainable resource management and
conservation will include:
¡¤ A review of lessons learned and best practices in participatory resource
management and conservation projects in island ecosystems with emphasis on
the four focal areas for the International Waters Programme (sustainable
coastal fisheries, marine protected areas, community-based waste reduction
and preservation of freshwater resources). Issues will be considered in
context of the entire project cycle - from project planning and design;
selection of sites; method of community entry; community baseline
assessments; participation of communities; the role and participation of
governments, NGOs and other agencies; education and awareness activities,
completion and exit considerations such as alternative income generation,
and monitoring and evaluation. The review will consider social/cultural,
economic, environmental, administrative, managerial, legal and political
dimensions of such projects.
¡¤ Selected summaries or 'snap shots' of initiatives in the four focal areas
demonstrating methodologies and approaches to best practices.
¡¤ Discussion of factors to be considered in measuring pilot project success,
or failure, in social, economic or environmental terms.
¡¤ A list of references, additional readings, potential resource people, and
web sites relating to the four key areas and the community-based work of the
SAP.
The review should focus on activities in the South Pacific region with
adequate representation and discussion of initiatives from Melanesia,
Polynesia and Micronesia. However, it may also be necessary to draw on
material and experiences from outside the region, for example Indonesia and
the Philippines or the Caribbean and Indian Oceans, particularly in respect
of lessons learned in marine resource management projects. Valuable
comparative information may also be found in community-based forestry
conservation and management initiatives both in the South Pacific region and
elsewhere.
It is envisaged that this review will consist of two parts: i) a desk top
study of available published and grey literature, workshop reports and
project reports, and ii) consultations with resource people at SPREP (and,
by email, facsimile or telephone, selected people from other regional
agencies and NGOs in the region) who have had significant expertise in the
implementation of community-based environmental programmes.
The consultancy will result in a report that will be used by the PCU to
assist with the selection, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation
of pilot projects that will be established in communities in each of the
island States participating in the International Waters Project.
Source information will also be available through a concurrent review to be
undertaken of past, current and planned country activities in the four focal
areas in the South Pacific region.
The product of the consultancy will be a report (no more than 25 pages plus
bibliography) and a database submitted to SPREP in hard copy and electronic
format. The consultant will be required to submit a draft report to SPREP
for comment. Copyright for the report, and ownership of all material
produced during the consultancy, will be vested in SPREP.
Expression of Interest
Interested individuals and organisations are invited to submit a proposal
expressing interest in this consultancy. Each response must provide:
¡¤ the CVs of individuals that will contribute to the report,
¡¤ a summary of recent work in this field (client contact details and work
produced),
¡¤ an indication of availability between late March and April 2001,
¡¤ indicative daily consultancy fees,
¡¤ a draft outline or table of contents for a report that may be produced
under the consultancy.
The International Waters Project will cover all costs associated with the
consultancy, including travel costs to enable at least part of the
assignment to be completed at SPREP Headquarters in Samoa.
A response to this invitation would be appreciated by Friday 16th March 2001.

THE STRATEGIC ACTION PROGRAMME (SAP) FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WATERS OF THE
PACIFIC SMALL ISLAND DEVELOPING STATES
INVITATION FOR AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
SYNOPSIS OF INFORMATION RELATING TO
THE QUALITY OF FRESHWATER AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ISSUES IN THE PACIFIC
ISLANDS REGION
Background
The SAP is a 5-year project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF),
implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed
by the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The Project
Co-ordination Unit (PCU) for the SAP is based at SPREP's headquarters at
Apia, Samoa.
The SAP has two components. The oceanic component is specifically targeting
management and conservation issues associated with the regional tuna
resource in the Central Western Pacific. Responsibility for this aspect of
the SAP rests with the Secretariat for the Pacific Community (SPC), based in
New Caledonia, and the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) based in Solomon Islands.
The second component is concerned with coastal and watershed issues. The
PCU is responsible for this component, which will focus on the
implementation of 14 Pilot Projects, one in each island country
participating in the Programme (Cook Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New
Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu).
The Programme aims to assist island States, and their communities, improve
their capacity to manage transboundary water resources and create improved
processes to address environmental degradation and promote resource
sustainability. The Pilot Projects are to assist with the identification of
best practices and appropriate methodologies in four broad focal areas:
reducing community waste impacts on the environment, the sustainable
management of freshwater resources, management of marine protected areas and
sustainable management of coastal fisheries. Community level activity will
be important elements of each Project.
Project Description
The objective of this consultancy is to provide a review of published and
other information relating to the management and conservation of freshwater
resources at the community level in the Pacific Islands region. The review
will place particular emphasis on threats to catchments and groundwater
lenses and management issues related to the sustainability of sources of
potable water.
Terms of Reference
The consultancy may be undertaken either by a consultant working
independently or a team of consultants that would combine their efforts to
complete the work required.
The consultancy will result in a report that will be used by the PCU and its
partners to assist with the selection, design, implementation, monitoring
and evaluation of pilot projects that will address issues associated with
the management and conservation of freshwater resources in the Pacific
Islands region.
The report will include:
¡¤ A review of current information relating to freshwater resources
management in the Pacific Islands region. Emphasis will be on potable water
quality.
The review should summarize activities, within the region or elsewhere, that
have attempted to improve capacity to manage activities that threaten
freshwater resources within communities. As with all elements of the
review, adequate discussion of issues associated with different ecosystems
(low island/high island and coastal/upper watershed) shall be presented.
Information may include:
¡¤ threats to freshwater resources,
¡¤ a review of priority concerns in Pacific Island communities in relation to
securing adequate quality freshwater,
¡¤ the relationships between the effective management of freshwater resources
and other issues to be addressed under the SAP concerning community waste,
marine protected areas and sustainable coastal fisheries, and
¡¤ management and governance issues associated with securing sustainable
quality freshwater sources in communities that are generally experiencing
rapid population growth.
¡¤ An outline of the types of community-based project activities that could
be implemented to address freshwater sustainability issues in the Pacific
islands region under the SAP.
¡¤ A list of references, additional readings, potential resource people, and
web sites relating to the SAP's programme in community-based waste.
The review should focus on activities in the South Pacific region with
adequate representation and discussion of case studies from Melanesia,
Polynesia and Micronesia. Information from island ecosystems in other ocean
regions should be cited where appropriate.
Some source information will be available through a concurrent review to be
undertaken of past, current and planned country activities in the four focal
areas in the South Pacific region. This consultancy will involve a 3-day
visit to Fiji, to liaise with SOPAC staff. Time in Samoa will include
visits to the UNESCO office for discussions with technical staff there.
The product of the consultancy will be a report (no more than 25 pages plus
bibliography) submitted to SPREP in hard copy and electronic format. The
consultant will be required to submit a draft report to SPREP for comment.
Copyright for the report, and ownership of all material produced during the
consultancy, will be vested in SPREP.
Expression of Interest
Interested individuals and organisations are invited to submit a proposal
expressing interest in this consultancy. Each response must provide:
¡¤ the CVs of individuals that will contribute to the report,
¡¤ a summary of recent work in this field (client contact details and work
produced),
¡¤ an indication of availability between the late-March and the end of April
2001,
¡¤ indicative daily consultancy fees,
¡¤ a draft outline or table of contents for a report that may be produced
under the consultancy.
