About CTI-CFF

The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF) is a multilateral partnership among six countries — Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste (collectively known as the CT6). The CT6 countries work together to sustain extraordinary marine and coastal resources by addressing crucial issues such as food security, climate change, and marine biodiversity.

The CTI-CFF was formally established during the Leaders’ Summit in 2009 with the endorsement of the CT6 leaders. They adopted the CTI Regional Plan of Action (CTI-RPOA), a strategic framework that outlines five goals: (1) designation of effectively managed seascapes; (2) application of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management; (3) establishment of a fully functional marine protected area system; (4) strengthening climate change adaptation and resilience; and (5) improving the status of threatened marine species.

About the Regional Secretariat

The Regional Secretariat (RS) of the CTI-CFF is mandated to promote regional collaboration, coordinate initiatives across member countries, and facilitate the implementation of CTI programs and activities to achieve the goals of the CTI Regional Plan of Action.
