Template for the Monitoring and Evaluation of the Implementation of RES&POA-2030 Background
SEAFDEC proposed the Concept Note for organizing the Regional Workshop on the Roadmap for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Implementation of the Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the ASEAN Region Towards 2030 (RES&POA-2030) during the 53rd Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council (53CM) in early 2021. The 53CM supported such idea and suggested SEAFDEC develop and disseminate the key indicators for monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of RES&POA-2030 in order that the AMSs could provide valuable inputs during the Workshop.
The SEAFDEC Secretariat in collaboration with the SEAFDEC Departments developed the indicators that will be used as tools to facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the RES&POA-2030. The indicators were categorized according to the six components of the Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region Towards 2030 (POA-2030), namely: 1) Planning and Information, 2) Fisheries Management, 3) Aquaculture, 4) Optimal Utilization of Fish and Fishery Products, 5) Fish Trade, and 6) Regional and International Policy Formulation. The detailed POA-2030 could be accessed at http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12066/6583.
This Template will be used to facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of the progress made by the AMSs in the implementation of the POA-2030 by providing inputs and feedback including the rating of indicators and additional information as agreed during the Regional Workshop on Development of the Key Indicators and Detailed Roadmap on 23–24 March 2022.
Instruction
4. The SEAFDEC National Coordinators shall serve as focal persons for the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the POA-2030. They shall coordinate with the relevant agencies/institutions within their respective countries to gather relevant information and submit the accomplished Template to the SEAFDEC Secretariat.
5. The monitoring and evaluation are a self-assessment by the AMSs of their implementation of the POA-2030.
The AMSs are requested to rate the indicators to determine the level of achievement of POA-2030. In rating the indicators, the AMSs should consider common criteria (e.g. national policies, legal frameworks, programs, working mechanisms, human resources, financial resources, among others). However, the criteria for each indicator should be considered as applicable to the respective countries; while additional criteria could be explored, as appropriate. Each indicator should be rated as:
Option 1: rating scale of 1-5 1 = not at all
2 = at a limited level 3 = at a fair level 4 = at a good level
5 = at an excellent level Option 2: Yes/No
If the indicator is not applicable or the country is unable to provide a response, please indicate N/A.
6. The AMSs should provide additional information (e.g. means of verification) for each indicator to ensure that the same set of fundamentals and criteria is maintained during the different timeframes (i.e. in 2021 for the baseline, in 2025 for the mid-term review, and in 2029 for the final evaluation) of the monitoring and evaluation of the POA-2030 .
