analysis; decentralized operations; integrated planning; public outreach
campaigns to engage resource users and the Indonesian people; and extension
services.

activities center on two themes: facilitating dialogue on illegal, unregulated,
and unreported (IUU) fishing; and completing activities supporting the implementation
of MMAF’s 2015-2019 RENSTRA.
The objective of this assignment is to ensure that its
Institutional Development (Task 1) component activities are delivered on time and
