CAPACITY BUILDING
Objective
To assist human resource development in participating countries in areas of planning and sustainable management of coastal and marine areas, especially at the local level.
PEMSEA's strategy is to narrow the disparities in environmental protection and management capacities of participating countries.
Our Unique Approach
The demand for human resource development in coastal and marine environmental management is enormous. Multi-focal training programmes and direct local government involvement will be the key elements in PEMSEA's capacity building initiatives over the next five years.
PEMSEA's approach involves the commitment of both trainees and their employers. The new approach not only involves formal training, but site specific application of the new skills that are transferred during the training period. This approach has the advantage of enhancing the skills of the trainee, providing immediate benefits to the employer, and promoting PEMSEA's objective of sustainable management of coastal and marine areas.
