A second round of assessment workshops, which would provide opportunity to elaborate more specifically an agreed course of implementation, would be convened shortly, with the one for the Caribbean which was re-scheduled to July 2010, having being postponed to dates to be determined. The Project Identification Workshop would be held in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis.
In May 2010 a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Agriculture, Belize, Agriconsulting Europe SA (AESA), Brussels, (project implementing agency) and the CRFM Secretariat, Belize City, was signed for office space on the ground floor of the CRFM Secretariat Office for the ACP Fish II Programme, Regional Facilitation Unit (RFU) Caribbean Office.
In the meanwhile, based on discussions with Chief Fisheries Officers / Directors of Fisheries of CARIFORM Member States, RFBs and donor agencies, the Regional Manager has been drafting the regional and national project request report. Countries and RFBs which have not completed and submitted their requests should do so urgently and submit to the RFU. This draft report will assist in determining the allocation of funds and project activities for the Caribbean when completed.
