Capacity Development Plan template
CCMs may recall that CMM 2019-06 paragraph 14-21 allows CCMs to submit a Capacity Development Plan with their draft CMR, that:
(i) clearly identifies and explains what is preventing that CCM from meeting that obligation;
(ii) identifies the capacity building assistance needed to allow that CCM to meet that obligation;
(iii) estimates the costs and/or technical resources associated with such assistance, including, if possible, funding and technical assistance sources where necessary;
(iv) sets out an anticipated timeframe in which, if the identified assistance needs are provided, that CCM will be able to meet that obligation.
To this end, a text box is provided in the ‘CMR Potential Issues’ list for CCMs to submit a Capacity Development Plan, if needed. As tasked by WCPFC13, paper template for Capacity Development Plan has been prepared to assist CCMs in providing required information for CMM 19-06 paragraph 14 and is available at https://www.wcpfc.int/compliance-monitoring CCMs are encouraged to use this template for its Capacity Development Plan and include it as an attachment with your replies in the CMR Potential Issues list.
