Vision

To enable more effective and equitable coastal conservation and fisheries management through locally appropriate incentives that support better outcomes for people, nature and climate.

Objectives
  • Build knowledge on opportunities and challenges for incentives in coastal and marine conservation and fisheries management, and build capacity for their design, implementation and evaluation
  • Strengthen institutional and policy environments for incentive-based approaches to coastal and marine conservation and fisheries management.
  • Strengthen incentives for the conservation and management of selected coastal areas.
  • Ensure financial sustainability of incentive-based approaches.
Strategy

The work package will begin by mapping and assessing past and current use of incentives in conservation and fisheries management across the target countries, building knowledge on opportunities, challenges and best practices. It will also work with government and other partners to identify needs and support the strengthening of institutional, legal and policy frameworks on incentives for conservation and fisheries management, and to develop financing strategies. In parallel, the work package will assess and strengthen incentive-based approaches at a site level, including through impact evaluation and improvements in governance and equity of conservation and fisheries management. It will also design and test incentives where appropriate.

Partnerships

This work package is being led by, in collaboration with WorldFish:

  • International Institute for Environment and Development
