For more than a decade, the GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme on Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) has been active in protecting life-support systems and enabling the sustainable use and management of coastal and marine resources through intergovernmental, interagency and multisectoral partnerships. In the course of its 14-year operation, the Programme has developed management -related methodologies, techniques, working models and standards to strengthen practical efforts in the field.
Operating Mechanism
Sustainable development, in particular the implementation of the SDS-SEA, is a long-term endeavor. It requires an efficient regional coordinating mechanism that will place concerted efforts in developing, coordinating and nurturing the various efforts governments and stakeholder partners towards achieving the shared visions. The PEMSEA regional mechanism was established with the signing of the Haikou Partnership Agreement on 15 December 2006.
Network
PEMSEA continues to innovate and expand its various regional networks in support of the implementation of the SDS-SEA. Building on more than a decade of experience, in which individuals, organizations and public and private entities have been engaged in advancing knowledge and technology transfer, information exchange, and skills training, a number of new arrangements and networking approaches have been developed.
