Enhancing the Role of Civil Society Organisations in Indonesia in Marine Resource Management
The project is part of Maritime Consultancy 2.0 Project, a four-year regional programme of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The aim of the Project is to assist partner states in improving their maritime policies, frameworks, and capabilities in line with international law through enhanced collaboration between CSOs and government by: (i) capacity development and sharing, and (ii) establishing a Community of Practice (CoP) centred on the effective and sustainable management of marine and maritime resources.
In May 2024, the project supported the establishment of two CoPs based in Bintan and Natuna in Kepalauan Riau Province in Indonesia. Current activities are focused on supporting the organisational development of member CSOs, including the long term sustainability of the CoPs.
