The "WHAT", "WHERE", "by WHOM" and "WHEN" of PROCARIBE+

 

WHAT will PROCARIBE+ deliver?

 

The PROCARIBE+ Project's Work Plan is structured around 4 technical Components, with 9 associated Outcomes (i.e. higher-level "results"). In pursuing these Outcomes, PROCARIBE+ is expected to deliver a total of 18 Outputs ("products"). 

 

 

 

COMPONENT 1

Enhanced regional coordination and collaboration

 

  • Regional Ocean Coordination Mechanism (OCM)

 

  • Multi-stakeholder partnership(s) 

 

  • New multi-stakeholder regional Strategic Action Programme (SAP)

 

COMPONENT 2

Enhanced national capacity and enabling conditions

 

  • National Intersectoral Committees (NIC) connected to OCM

     

  • National Blue Economy scoping + Marine Reporting

     

  • Training & Capacity-Building (Marine Spatial Planning, Source-to-Sea, Blue Carbon,…)

     

  • Mainstream the marine environment in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) (Blue Carbon,…) 

 

COMPONENT 3

On-the-ground action by all sectors of society

 

  • Micro-financing schemes for Civil Society and MSME supporting oceans  (SGP)

     

  • Enabling conditions for a blue carbon financing instrument (country pilot)

     

  • Planning for Blue Economies and Marine Spatial Planning

     

  • Enhanced area-based ocean conservation (MPA/OECM)

     

  • Traceability for key Fisheries Products

     

  • Enhanced gear & practices in spiny lobster fisheries

 

 

COMPONENT 4

Regional Knowledge Management & Global Exchange of Best Practices

 

  • Knowledge Management Hub “owned” by the OCM Membership, managed by the OCM Secretariat, and supported by the partnership(s)

     

  • “Blueprint” for the regional Marine Data Landscape/Infrastructure 

     

  • Development of the Regional “State of the Marine Environment and Associated Economies” (SOMEE) 

     

  • Alliance with IW:LEARN 

 

WHERE and WITH WHOM will we work?

The below table gives an overview of the PROCARIBE+ Project Components, Outcomes and Outputs, the entity(s) responsible for delivering each Output, and the corresponding beneficiary countries. 

Note 1. Hyperlinks in the table will lead to the corresponding Output Pages, providing more specific information on work being planned / undertaken, and on the results being obtained. Output Pages are currently under development and will be progressively added.

_______________
1whereas all countries from, or with Territories in the Wider Caribbean/CLME+ region will be able to participate in and/or benefit from the regional-level project activities, direct financial support from the PROCARIBE+ GEF grant for specific on-the-ground (in-country) activities focusses on the GEF-eligible countries that provided a GEF OFP endorsement letter for the PROCARIBE+ Concept Note (UNDP/GEF PIF document).

Timeline for delivery

The approximate timeline for implementing the different activities under each of the project’s main outputs, both in terms of preparation and execution, is presented in the following table.
