Background
The SEA Fisheries Project aims to reduce trafficking in fisheries, by strengthening coordination and increasing the efficiency and efficacy of the efforts already underway at the national and regional levels. Given the considerable array of actors and initiatives, a regional coordination body will be established and supported to build links between the key interventions and approaches, develop and implement joint strategies, and share information. The project will be regional in nature, with a particular focus on Thailand and Indonesia. One of the first priorities of the project will be to set out the specific mandate, composition and functions of this regional body, drawing from other multi-stakeholder initiatives in the region and beyond. The entity will be broad-based and include various government departments (the competent authorities on labour, migration, trafficking and fisheries), civil society organizations, workers ‘groups, industry associations, buyer groups, international organizations and research institutions. Scoping and analysis of the activities of the key stakeholders will shape the design of action plans at the regional level, and for Thailand and Indonesia as two regional hubs of activity in this area. To support the common goals of these action plans, the project will deliver specific activities and conduct research and analysis. Ownership and participation, in particular by the governments, regional institutions, the private sector and development partners, will be key to ensuring sustainability. Links will also be made with national task forces and ASEAN frameworks on migration, trafficking and fisheries. The integration of the regional coordination body and strategy into existing structures will be explored from the project outset. The project’s goal is to reduce trafficking and labour exploitation in fisheries, by strengthening coordination at the regional and national level.
