Capacity Building and Institutional Strengthening. Building and strengthening of human, institutional and infrastructure capacity and maintenance of developed capacity have been identified as a high priority in the region. Actions are needed to address, inter alia, Policy development, development and harmonization of legislation, transfer of environmentally sound technologies and development of regional collaboration or networking in respect of survey and assessment of ecosystem status. This has to include development of institutional capacities of key agencies and institutions in the region, which contribute to the integrated sustainable management of the GCLME. There is however inadequate capacity in member countries to address the priority trans-boundary concerns identified in the TDA and highlighted in this SAP. Policy Action proposed is development of Strategic Plan for training and capacity building. A thorough review of human and institutional capacity and training needs, particularly those related to analysis of priority transboundary concerns of the region, will be carried out. This study should take into account the concerns expressed in the capacity building component of NEPAD concerning the management of the marine environment and coastal areas. Such a study will harmonize various areas of existing and planned activities into a strategic and realistic plan of action for capacity building and training. Member Countries will cooperate and share experience to strengthen and assist each other wherever possible to implement this plan. It is equally a priority for the GCLME to liaise with River Basin Authorities, Coastal Aquifer Projects and other LMEs to identify common training requirements. It is anticipated that after the strategic plan for capacity building and training is adopted, capacity building and training activities will be firmly agreed and decided with the following actions scheduled as part of the implementation of this SAP: community-based demonstration projects, exchange programmes for sharing best practices and lessons learned from similar projects, regular targeted training programmes, establishment of relevant networks including organized urban and rural fishermen cooperatives, alternative vocational training for livelihood/enterprise diversification, enhanced public awareness and information dissemination, and capacity building for the development and implementation of action plans.
