The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) Indonesia has received a financing from Agence Française de Développement ("AFD"), and intends to use part of the funds thereof for payments under the following project Outer Ring Fishing Ports Development Projects (Ecofishing Ports).
The Ecofishing Ports project will upgrade four Indonesian fishing ports namely Bitung, Kendari, Belawan and Cilacap for improved performance and sustainability in line with international standards. More specifically, the project aims, for each fishing port, to: i) improve ports’ efficiency, attractiveness and governance; ii) improve the sanitary quality, traceability and added value of fishery products; and iii) manage the environmental and climatic impacts and challenges. The project is structured in 3 main components. Component 1 - Redevelopment and organization of the port area and its functions. This involves first of all designing and carrying out the works necessary to rationalize the operation of the port in line with the various activities present. Component 2 - Implementation of the sustainability approach for fishing ports and fisheries. In parallel and in support of the work carried out in component 1, several activities will be implemented in each port and at the central level of MMAF. Component 3 - Strengthening institutional and technical capacities of KKP at central and port level, and project management. The effective implementation of the project in the four ports and, beyond that, the application of the concept of ecoports on a national scale, requires cross-cutting institutional support both at the central level and at the level of the fishing ports.
