Coral Triangle Countries Define Regional Process for Monitoring and Evaluation

Representatives of the six member countries of the Coral Triangle Initiative—Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste—met on April 10-12, 2013, in Manila, Philippines, to develop and refine a regional process for monitoring and evaluating the initiative’s progress towards achieving the goals under its Regional Plan of Action. The plan of action contains climate change and marine resource sustainability activities and is being implemented from 2009 to 2020.

The meeting streamlined the indicators of progress and developed key elements of the monitoring and evaluation process, including an outline for an operations manual that will provide guidelines for data collection, processing, analysis, and reporting. This meeting was the latest in a series conducted over the last five years to develop a regional monitoring and evaluation system for the CTI and is now in its final stages of completion.
